Acquisitions Incorporated began as an adventuring company founded by Omin Dran roughly twenty years before the start of their first adventure at the ruins of Winterspire.[3] Omin had initially hired Jim Darkmagic and Binwin Bronzebottom to help him with low-level jobs managing monsters and exploring ruins, with the goal of 'acquiring things' and making money.[4,5] Their first corporate headquarters was at the inn of a small town named Winterhaven, but subsequently moved to different lands as their adventures took them elsewhere. As the company grew, it hired interns to work at multiple branches across Faerun. Some interns were granted more privileges than others, with Omin even bestowing certain 'teams' of franchisees a share in their own profits (the most well known being the C Team). The coveted 'wild-card license' also enables a single team to make contracts outside their assigned jurisdiction.
