Coat of Arms of the Sutherland Corporation

Introduction
The Predecessor of the Sutherland Corporation is the Sutherland Trading Company, founded in Elysium at year 11 of the Second Age. The company is founded by Daibhidh Sutharlainn, a clan member of the Sutherland Clan located at Sutherland, a tiny settlement located North of Norland. Throughout the last 150 years, the Sutherland family has been making different drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic for different venues and consumers. One day, the young Daibhidh Sutharlainn and his sister, Catrìona Sutharlainn decided to create their own trading company in order to provide their lovely drinks from the homeland to all across Almaris. During the Trading Company period, Daibhidh Sutharlainn and his Sutherland Trading Company has been stepping foot into other different industries including the media, raw-material market and publishment.

Present, the Sutherland Corporation is made up of four different subsidiaries: The Sutherland Trading Company, The Essentials, The Thistle Post and The North-Western Almaris Publishment. We have a substantial number of workers, and our aim is to provide the best service to all people in Almaris. Thus, we decided to turn the former Sutherland Trading Company into a corporation order to allow different companies to focus on their main business.

One day, at 32SA, Daibhidh Sutharlainn is pacing around in his office at the Barony of Rhein. And seemed to be thinking about his strategy of his business and the future of his company, or companies I shall say. He thus then take out a cigar of which his good friend Kane Redfist gave him, and start smoking and mumbling to himself…

Daibhidh Sutharlainn: “The Sutherland Trading Company, the Thistle Post, the Northwest Almaris Publishment… How easy is of me controlling all companies together… The first bonds are nearly expired, too… Maybe it is the time to consolidate the three companies under one banner. ”

He would then take out a map of Almaris, putting pins onto different locations: Dùn Rein, Inbir Engòl, Elisse… Soon his map will be full of pins. 

Then, he would take out a piece of bamboo slip he got from Yong Ping, then would first draw a few circles on it and, draw a big, round circle around them. Thus, started his draft of his corporation.

Nice culture +1

Daibhidh Sutharlainn came across this poster, and thought to himself, 'What a prosperous yet dissapointing company, 15 minas? Aigh! They want someone to bring her for 15 minas? How ridiculous.' He then look closer to the poster and finds that she is familiar.

The Agnethe Language

Òraid a Tuath (North Speech)

Introduction

Agnethe is a language spoken by the indigenous people of Barr and Suther located in North of Norland. It was spoken  in the region of Dùn Barr and Sutherland. However, due to an avalanche happened during the 7^th year of the second age, which wiped out the clan of Barton and nearly killed all members in the clan of Sutherland, the language has come closed to extinction. This language is currently not an official language in any sovereign nations. This language is equivalent with the modern-day language of Scottish Gaelic, with certain LOTC terminology translated.

Everyday Phrases

Verbs

Possessive Pronouns

Structure

The Agnethe Language only has 18 letters, ABCDEFGHILMNOPRSTU.

Sentence Structure of the Agnethe Language is VSO, that means that verbs comes first, then the subject, then the object.

You can see that Tha, as a verb is put in the first place, mi, as a subject is put in second place, and math, as a object is put last.
