General Information
Focused on information gathering and freelance contracts, The Urnov Corporation sets out to allow all, regardless of origins, wealth, or other factors, to access their services. The Urnov Corporation is based in Setrent, nestled at the center of the Lambert District, and is founded and led by Jack Urnov.
History
Founded in the year 56 IA, The Urnov Corporation started a massive project in both the construction of a new district, the Lambert District, as well as its own headquarters directly in the middle of said district, eventually named Urnov Tower. In its early years, the company focused heavily on expanding its operations and name throughout the land that would soon be called The Nation of Aetveris. Since then, it has gained some measure of success, with offices placed in notable towns and stations along the roads.
In the year 63 IA, The Urnov Corporation was participant to the first trial against a Sparkholder since the founding of The Nation of Aetveris. The victim of burglary and theft, the company was successful in apprehending the criminal before they were able to make their daring escape.
Organization
Under Urnov's meticulous management, the organization had grown considerably since the first few months of its creation. The lobby is often filled with a constant stream of adventurers, businessmen, and even common citizens, all seeking the same thing: information. This is not the only service provided, but it is by far the most sought after of them.
Operations
Information is a commodity, and as with any commodity it can be sold. It is the sole purpose of the company. Starting from the counter at the lobby, one is able to schedule a meeting with the correct personnel qualified to handle their request, whether that is to buy or sell information, set up a contract to be completed by a 'moral mercenary', or for meetings with others with utmost peace and discretion. None are turned away, within reason of course, as long as they keep to the rule: No killing on company ground.
As part of agreements made with nations, The Urnov Corporation is to not investigate governmental affairs, side with or against in wars (certain outliers excluded), sabotage, hamper, halt, assist, or otherwise to interfere with matters related to governments. As of the moment, The Urnov Corporation has entered into agreements with The Nation of Aetveris, The Ministry of Setlaar, Aleumdaum, Kandra, Thunderhome, and Alzhak Rehger.
