**Warehouse Inc.** is an organisation located in the ethereal realms, far beyond the reach of mortals. This non-profit organisation specialises in storing and archiving anything and everything that can be stored or archived. Warehouse Inc. also manages the Interdimensional Lost and Found Department. Warehouse Inc. is located at the center of the ethereal realms, in the neutral zone, at an equal distance from both heaven and hell.

### History

Warehouse Inc. was founded by the ethereal entities Frank and Phil, who have dedicated their eternal lives to documenting, sorting and archiving everything ever. It is unclear when the duo started their archiving efforts exactly, but it is clear that they have archived everything, even from long before the start of the organisation. When eventually the archive became too big to fit in their garage, Frank and Phil founded Warehouse Inc. and started construction of a new headquarters. Through the generous support of some powerful figures in the ethereal realms a prime location was arranged for the new building in the center of the multiverse.

### The Building

Warehouse Inc. is a massive structure the size of some small dimensions, such as IDP-10164-464. It's non-Euclidean shape is incomprehensibly complex, that only ethereal beings can truly appreciate it's architectural marvels. To the eyes of mortals, it appears as merely a giant box, as this is the shape of the shadow it casts upon three dimensional space. The building was designed by Frank, co-founder of Warehouse Inc., and was built over the course of two eons, far before earth had even formed. The building stands at the center of the ethereal realms, in the neutral zone, at an equal distance from both heaven and hell. The building houses The Archive (also known as 'The Archive of All'), the Interdimensional Lost and Found Department and Phil's Family-Run Canteen.

### The Archive

The Warehouse Inc. Archive is widely regarded as the most extensive and complete archive in existence, including a section with records of all of civilised history, a section with samples of all minerals, materials and elements currently known to exist, the biggest genebank in the multiverse, a library collection of all media ever written and infinitely more. It's main function is to preserve all knowledge from across the multiverse. It is comparable to humanity's efforts to preserve, such as legal deposit libraries and the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, but on an infinitely grander scale. Because of the archive's incredible completeness it is often compared to the concept of the library of Babel. It is said that the library section containing documentation of all details about human history from The Archive is used by Santa Clause to form the nice and naughty lists. It is even rumored that the keepers of the pearly gates use the archive's documentation to update St Peter's book.

### Lost and Found

The Lost and Found Department of Warehouse Inc. is the universal place where lost items, objects and creatures are to be stored while awaiting retrieval by their owners. Objects that go missing, or phase out of physical existence in any other way, leave their reality of origin and end up in the filler space between realms, from there they are transported to the the lost and found department in the ethereal realms. Because the vast majority of the items that get submitted to the Lost and Found Department originate from civilisations not advanced enough to enter, let alone travel between, the ethereal realms, who can therefore not reclaim their items, most items end up in bulk storage indefinitely. These items are to remain in bulk storage until perhaps one day, the civilisation of origin becomes advanced enough to travel to and reach the ethereal realms and reclaim their lost and found items. Items from insufficiently advanced civilisations can in rare cases end up being added to The Archive, in which case the items can no longer be reclaimed.

Notable lost and found entries from earth include: The Tomb of Genghis Khan, The original crown jewels of England, Loads of lost Inca gold, the library of the Moscow Tsars, The Ark of the Covenant and the Santa Maria. The Lost and Found Department also includes many missing persons, among whom the Zodiac Killer.

### The Canteen

The Canteen at the Lost and Found Department serves food, drinks, and small supplies and functions as a place of gathering for local residents, as well as a waiting area for visitors of the Lost and Found Department. It is widely known in the ethereal realms for the amazing funeral pie that is served there, of which the recipe has been passed down in Phil's family for generations.
