The Logging Consortium
The Logging Consortium makes up nearly a quarter of all of Darbyton's structures. It consists of offices for each of the three companies within the Consortium. The oldest and largest of the companies is the Shattered Hatchet Company, who logs primarily in Sweetvine Woods, and the lesser woods around the island, and provides the majority of wood to the entire island. The Sweaty Brow Company operates within the Scaltoth Jungle and is known for its tougher employees. It provides the specialty woods that can only be found within the jungle. Finally there's the Golden Cut Company, who specializes in finding the perfect wood for any job brought to them.
The Logging Consortium has its own dedicated road dubbed by locals as Felltree Run. On one side of the road, is the exclusive housing it provides, at a cost to the employees. These houses are close to work, maintained by its workers, and receive protection from both criminals and the wilds by the company's guards. On the other side of the road stands the ware houses where raw wood is stored until the Lumber Yard calls for it, or someone purchases them. These warehouses are massive, six in all, each a hundred meters long, and fifty meters high.
At the end of the road stands the Offices of the Logging Consortium, where all the bureaucracy and trade occurs. These offices handle the purchasing of goods, hiring of employees, trade agreements, and any and all matters related with the business. The reception area is on the ground floor complete with ornately carved desks, chairs, stairwells, and anything else that can be made from wood. The second floor is mostly storage for tools, documentation, and the company's private vault. The third floor houses the offices of the Foremen and Owner, allowing them to see all of Darbyton.
As of Arc 720, the Darbyton Logging Consortium ceased trading as an independent company and got taken over by Scalvoris Government. During the events of The Forging, all the former staff disappeared. The Darbyton Rangers now oversee the logging operations.
Name: Cornel Sherapo
Race: Mixed Blood, Sevryn/Human
Age: Born in Saun 23, 673
Title: Business Owner of the Logging Consortium
Skills: NA: Prophet only NPC. You don't need to know!
Other Information: Cornel Sherapo is the daughter of the now deceased founder of the Splintered Hatchet Logging Company. She grew up keeping the books, payroll, and organization for her father's company. She worked as his secretary, receptionist, and shopkeeper. She negotiated trade deals, dealt with customers, and dealt with every employee's issue that arose, including the end to a labor strike, a hostile takeover by employees, and many other problems.
Cornel Sherapo attended many classes at the University, and there she excelled. She joined several extracurricular activities, and was soon leading them. When she came home from University, she became more aggressive in her business practices, and proceeded to start buying out other logging companies. In a matter of a decade, Darbyton went from dozens of small logging companies to three, with the Splintered Hatchet as the largest, taking Sweetvine Wood and other lesser woods around the island as their claim.
She continued to branch out, acquiring shipping vessels and teams, the Darbyton Lumber Yard, and sponsored several smaller businesses around the island, all handlers of her product, including furniture makers, shipwrights, carriage builders, etc. But in 716 AV she made the biggest moves with her company when she bought the remaining two logging companies, the Sweat Brow Company and the Golden Cut. With nearly complete control over the largest industry in Darbyton, nearly the entire population owes their jobs, their homes, and the food on their table to her.
She now mostly focuses on giving to charitable organizations, rubbing elbows at events, and meeting the need to know people. That said, some have suggested she's looking at spreading her influence all over the island.
Name: Harond Bethelsa
Race: Human
Age: Born in vhalar 11, 671
Title: Foreman of the The Logging Consortium, Sweaty Brow Company; former owner of The Sweaty Brow Logging Company
Skills: NA: Prophet only NPC. You don't need to know!
Other Information: Harond Bethelsa worked for the Sweaty Brow Logging Company from 13 arcs of age when he left his home in Egilrun to make a go at it on his own. At first, he worked hard, learned the craft of felling trees and surviving within the Scaltoth Jungle, the realm where Sweaty Brow specializes. But as he continued to become an adult, he grew tall, strong. And soon he began to bully his fellow lumberjacks. He intimidated the meek, turned friends against the defiant, and destroyed the strong. A saying among the company was born, "Cross Harond, and no one will hear your tree fall."
In his early twenties, the previous owner of the Sweaty Brow Logging Company died under suspicious circumstances. The man died without heirs, so the company went under the control of Harond, the highest ranking worker at the time. Harond began hiring criminals, brigands, and other generally tough people who would do most things for nel. Harond used these workers to run out or acquire the other Scaltoth Jungle logging companies. They threatened, assaulted, blackmailed, stole, and killed to get what he wanted. His company was never as rich or as large as the Splintered Hatchet, but the special woods from Scaltoth were valuable enough to keep him competitive.
In 716, when Cornel approached him about combining forces and resources to create the Consortium, Harond readily agreed. He barely does any work anymore sitting in his luxury cabin in the center of Darbyton, a blight on the town's aesthetics, but enjoys the perks and pay of being upper management and having partial ownership. His workers still log the jungle, and Cornel acquired his methods of intimidation and underhanded business.
Name: Kyniya Sherapo
Race: Mixed Blood, Sevryn/Human
Age: Born in Cylus 05, 685
Title: Foreman of the The Logging Consortium, Shattered Hatchet Company
Skills: Skill Name: NA: Prophet only NPC. You don't need to know!
Other Information: Kyniya Sherapo is Cornel's little sister. Where Cornel went to University, Kyniya interned for and eventually came to be assistant to Sidhe'nn Fraear, the Accountant of the Council. Under his tutelage, she learned many valuable skills, particularly those having to do with trade. She took on his cold, calculating nature, and now applies it to her business and those that come around it.
Where Cornel is the more pleasant face of the Consortium, Kyniya is the stranger in the shadows. She seems to know everything going on in both Darbyton and Scalvoris Town, and usually has a good read on the other villages as well. For every charity event her sister attends, Kyniya spent time learning about those who worked the event. She knows nearly every waiter, courier, guard, and other service industry worker in Scalvoris Town and Darbyton by name, and they all know her.
in 716, she was given control of their family's company portion of the Shattered Hatchet Company, but that's just to give her a bit of public legitimacy. She manages her business shrewdly, and is behind every cent that flows through the consortium. And there's nothing going on within her employees lives that she doesn't know about. And when that knowledge is useful, she doesn't hesitate.
Name: Arvid
Race: Lotharro
Age: Vhalar 80, 665
Title: Foreman of the The Logging Consortium, Golden Cut Company
Skills: NA: Prophet only NPC. You don't need to know!
Other Information: Arvid is the foreman of the smallest of the three companies within the Consortium, the Golden Cut. His company specializes in finding the absolute perfect lumber for a job. They are unparalleled in their ability to find the right tree. Products made from their lumber is of a higher quality than most, and because of the difficulty in achieving such a perfection, their prices are higher. His company functions all around the island, and in both Scaltoth Jungles and Sweetvine Woods.
Arvid was a foreman for the Golden Cut and was the most experienced lumberjack within its ranks. The previous owner was going bankrupt due to his penchant for wine, prostitutes, and other vices. So when Cornel came calling, he quickly sold the company. But when she went to restructure the company, lower its quality, and hire questionable employees, Arvid put his foot down. He and his friends among the company refused to work. Cornel though it wasn't as big a deal as it was, and replaced them with lesser lumberjacks, many with little or no experience at all.
And quality suffered. Customers who were used to the Golden Cut standard complained. And it was beginning to look like a blemish on the new Consortium. So she returned to Arvid, asking for him and his workers to return at a pay increase. And he accepted that with an additional condition, that he run the company. She acquiesced and business resumed at the beginning of 717.
