====== Meridian Explorations ====== Meridian Explorations was founded in [[gaeleth:places:Chasadan]], [[gaeleth:places:Rakore]], in 1332 Avard. The company was founded by the Kavris brothers William and Hershel; William was a scribe for the Church of Lul, and Hershel was the Ducal Mage for the Janis Plains. M.E. was originally founded to investigate certain histories lost to the [[gaeleth:history:War of the Undead]] and assist the Ducal Mage in procuring arcane items and rare alchemical materials. The company was later expanded to include personal protection to the Kavris family, as well as assisting the lords of Chasadan in difficult, delicate, or foreign problems. Half a dozen orcs work for Meridian Explorations out of their Chasadan offices, serving as porters, workmen, bodyguards, and animal control for the city. The group is led by Kir Sandeyes, a veteran of the War of the Four Winds and former sergeant for the Ogre Nations. The largest member of the group is a massive orc known as 'Tiny', also a veteran of the Ogre Nations, brawler, and owner of a very tiny brain. The exploits of M.E. are chronicled in [[gaeleth:campaigns:campaign_ix:Campaign IX]].
