Founded nearly four centuries ago on the eighth day of the fifth month, [Eden Inc.] has since risen from the lowly and humble beginnings it started as and expanded to the highly influential and distinguished company the public knows it as today. Led by its current leader, Altan Möngke, the organization still stands strong with its core values and beliefs, remaining resolute for the fight that began over three hundred years ago to this very day.
But as Eden draws near to its yearly anniversary, the population of its ranks growing with each decade that passes, a myriad of questions begin to arise. The days of old are long gone, murky and forgotten with the passage of time. Where Eden originally began, and what led to its existence, is more of a mystery than ever. Many recruits are left wondering where this battle arose, and how it’s ended up here, in these very warehouses, so many centuries later.
Founded by Castor Wright, the company was not always the organization of wealth and riches that most know it as. Finding its creation in the darkness of a candle-lit inn, Wright started the organization as a wish for unity and hope amongst his people. With the destruction of the secretive Magicae communities and societies and the creation of the Unification Act, Wright had witnessed firsthand the harm and damage that Human and Magicus integration caused. With not much to his name, he began the first blueprints to his seemingly impossible pipe-dream: A peacekeeping organization to keep the calm between the two worlds, set on keeping magic and humans separate, reducing the bloodshed brought on by their continuous congregation and communication. A world of perfect, careful balance; as it should be.
With a slow start, Eden Inc. eventually found itself with an impressive and well-rounded assembly of Magicae, all with alike aspirations to Wright’s own dream of the new world. It took nearly a decade of preparations, but it was with this very council that Eden Incorporated found its current name.
Eden Inc. is most notably associated with the Garden of Eden, a biblical paradise of pleasure and delight from which Adam and Eve originally lived. This connects deeply to Eden Inc.’s own cause, having its own ideas of a utopian society of complete justice and stability, dreams towards a paradise much like the one inside the Bible. Many have assumed this was Wright’s intention when naming the organization, but Wright actually expressed his extreme disdain and revulsion towards this notion. Throughout several interviews, he explained that Eden Inc. has and will not have anything to do with Christianity, instead focusing on a completely scientific approach to the wellness and greater good of the public.
“Eden’s mission has absolutely no association with any religion for that matter,” Wright explained to the press. “But especially not Christianity.”
He refused to go into any further detail in how he got the inspiration for the name of the organization, simply requesting to keep the questions focused on the more important details of what Eden is conducting. It is well-known throughout the company that many of its members follow the same atheist beliefs as Wright did, with the infamous Congregation of the Chosen being a strong factor into why so many of its members found peace through Eden’s open arms.
