HedgeCorp

HedgeCorp™ is the premier purveyor of arcane goods and services in the Prime Material plane and beyond. Utilizing the latest and greatest in portal traversal technologies, we are able to bring you the wonders of the planes at a fraction of the cost of our competitors. We do this using a purpose-built facility at our headquarters in beautiful Gilthold, overlooking the prosperous town of New Barrelbend, which is capable of sending fully laden barges to and from our outposts in such locations as the fabled City of Brass, Sigil, or any of the elemental, fey, or shadow planes. Much better than traveling on foot!

Additionally, our team of arcane experts are on standby. Just *message* HedgeCorp™ and you will be answered by one of these trained professionals, who will be happy to assist you with any orders you may wish to place. For more complicated orders or magical assistance, they are authorized to dispatch a representative to consult with you. This service is available for an additional fee even to those locations known to be haunted or that have hostile agents present. HedgeCorp™ retains the right to refuse service to warring parties.

## About Us

In the years following his retirement from itinerant adventuring with the much known and loved Heartbreakers party, of which he also was a founding member, our CEO and founder, the renowned wizard Hegemenous Rex, transmuter extraordinaire, created our great company. Using the wealth accrued during his heroic ventures he renovated the keep of Gilthold, the place we still call home, rising from the poverty in which he was raised in order to bring a prosperous future not only to himself but to all the lives HedgeCorp**™** touches.

When we first started, our company headquarters at Gilthold were little more than a run-down border keep hailing from the old days of the Dragonperchi empire. Liberated from the opportunistic monstrous denizens that had overrun it, it had been granted to the Heartbreakers in gratitude for services rendered. With the departure of most of those original owners to ventures of their own, Gilthold fell to joint ownership by Hedge, as our founder is affectionately known, and Aelia Tuskbringer, his friend and confidant. Aelia, uninterested in most aspects of business, left management of the property to Hedge, who grew it into the impressive hold it is today.

Reconstruction of the property was overseen by Tolden and the Boys Construction Company, with significant aid from Lazelon Excavations, LLC. In addition to returning the keep to its former glory, the reconstruction of Gilthold included the addition of several subterranean levels for the safe conduction of magical experiments, a grand hall built from the remains of the Tarrasque, and formidable defenses, including a gelatinous moat filled with patrolling golems made possible by our friends at Oblexports**™**. Direct contributions to the compound by Hedge himself include the Arcane Academy and Temple of God, in honor of his friend Jesus, as well as the installation of defensive enchantments, the greatest being the famous *mythallar*, by which he can command the entire citadel to rise into the air in case of danger, in addition to rumors of various other powerful properties.

Much of our labor force in HedgeCorp™ is ethically sourced from bound elementals, preventing any harm to humanoid laborers that might arise from our forays into inhospitable environments. Still, it takes many people to keep an exceptional company like our own working efficiently, and the prosperous town of New Barrelbend at the feet of Gilthold is testament to the great boons we are able to provide our employees. The residents of New Barrelbend were rescued from the Shadowfell by Hedge and his party following the destruction of the demiplane that their original town had been trapped in by the villainous Raven King. The residents were provided homes at Gilthold courtesy of HedgeCorp™ and Tolden Construction, with many choosing to stay to enjoy gainful employment at HedgeCorp™ or its accessory industries. Attractions to the town include the Tu Cansam Honorary Baths, gilded statue of Hegemenous Rex, and the Memorial of the Turnip King.

## Philanthropy

HedgeCorp™ believes in maintaining our founder's strong interest in philanthropic aid. The Wulkrus Crurthur Memorial Fund, overseen by Sit the Golden Dragon, is a generously endowed fund dedicated to aiding and improving the lives of those in Titanhaven. The fund sponsors scholarships for promising potential pupils of the Arcane Academy, enabling them to break their own bonds of poverty and pursue gainful employment as magic users, as well as posting bounties for those in need of heroic acts, encouraging adventuring parties to resolve these issues by offering financial incentive.

We are also happy to support the Arcane Academy itself, a personal project of our founder's, as well as officially endorsing and financially supporting the Church of God.
