The Brass Moor is a large shipping company with a short history. It consists of several different groups of traders and merchants who have gone under the name - largely because it turns a blind eye to (and even obscures behind hefty bureaucracy) questionable or outright illegal acts. Those more clandestine works are funded by an unknown third party, and recently the group seems to have received a large windfall from an unclear source, expanding their operations considerably and raking in further profits as a result. OOC NOTES: They cover an extremely wide range of businesses, however, their main source of funds is from alchemy. They do not compete with other alchemical groups, though; for instead of experimenting with new mixtures or producing more complex and specific ones, they produce bulk quantities of household mixtures such as Pureza's Powder, Wodnik's Jelly, or Tallassan Gel. While often somewhat less effective than those produced by traditional alchemy, their mass-produced products are quite cheap, making them easy sales for many poorer areas, where their merchants often prey on those in need of such things. Their general structure, operations, and the identities of members are obscured by a hefty amount of bureaucracy. Though it is possible to find out this information, it would be a considerably difficult feat and take an excessively long time. For the most part, however, there is little cause to do so - their taxes are paid on time and accurately, and they're careful to leave no record of their illegitimate dealings.
updated this thread to reflect more recent stuff. in case anyone asks, further details are to be found out IC :)
