History
The West Indaran Carriage Company was established in the middle 5th Century, year 70. The name was created due to them primarily utilising carriages for the method of transport over Varkhest. The West Indaran Carriage Company was originally formed during the Indaran Empires Reign in Varkhest, however they now remain unaligned with any specific kingdom. This is to allow them to provide services to all, without any obligations to one empire during times of war.

The West Indaran Carriage Company initially began providing its services out of the city of Ilttere. In the start of the 6th Century the company decided to relocate for a more independent approach, which required them to pay less taxes. The WICC established a central headquarters in the Aurumvane region. Located at the mouth of the Aurumvane river, with access to multiple rivers which fed throughout the country and back into the ocean. By choosing this location the company was able to expand into unaided transport using these rivers as shipping lanes to unalligned territories on the opposite side of Varkhest, such as the neutral trade city of Oceanfel. This port was later named Korn Quay, after the company's founder Kornilius Placeholder.

Currently the West Indaran Carriage Company uses its unrestricted access over the country to allow for safe passage of travelers and denizens of the land to otherwise inaccessible locations due to the mountainous terrain, usually by ship although the company still provides its carriage services wherever possible.
