'''The Ketsire Liveried Company of Lamp Makers''', trading as '''GleamCo''', is a prominent manufacturer and supplier of sodium-based lighting equipment in the [[Benacian Union]].

	As a ~~privately owned manufacturer {{PAGENAME}} received its livery and charter from~~ the ~~Chapter~~ of the ~~Worshipful Guild of Artificers established in Ketsire.

			Prior to GleamCo's establishment, Aldef owned a light-bulb manufacturing plant in [[Ketsire]]. Witnessing the resilience of sodium-vapor street lamps amidst the devastation of the [[Scouring]], a cataclysmic event shrouded in historical debate, sparked Aldef's entrepreneurial spirit. In 1697, he transformed his factory into GleamCo, pioneering the market for "sand lamps," luxury sodium-vapor lamps renowned for their efficiency, craftsmanship, and exceptional resistance to remnant nuclear radiation. This bold vision and the lamps' reliability attracted steady orders from the [[Cult of the Sacred Detonation]] and later, the entire Sovereign Confederation. By 1705, GleamCo had become instrumental in illuminating previously pitch-black corners, particularly those ravaged by the Scouring's electromagnetic disturbances, earning significant recognition and public favor.

	The ~~idea that there was~~ a ~~demand~~ for ~~sodium-vapor lamps originated when Brugen Aldef~~, ~~who owned~~ a ~~light-bulb manufacturing plant in Ketsire, found that nearly all public lighting still functioning~~ in the ~~devastation following~~ the ~~Scouring were street lights using that same technology~~. ~~In 1697~~, ~~he invested in converting his factory into GleamCo~~, the ~~first company to market luxury sodium lamps or "sand lamps"~~. ~~The efficiency~~, ~~craftsmanship~~, and ~~reliability against remnant nuclear footprints~~ of ~~these sand lamps had orders flowing~~ in ~~steadily from~~ the ~~Cult of~~ the ~~Sacred Detonation~~, ~~then flooding from~~ across the ~~Sovereign Confederation~~. ~~By 1705~~, the ~~once dark nights in those singed corners most crippled by electromagnetic disturbances were made tastefully well~~-~~lit~~.		== Growth and diversification ==

In 1716, construction on its final research wing concluded and now produces the EZEC. As compu-fabrication quickly replaced high-end light fixtures following the Ezec's success through the early 20s, it was determined that the two sides of the company could complement eachother through an office-supplies rental service. The venture quickly caught on, prompting ever more involved and bespoke orders to outfit offices across the Union.
