Mapleford Depot
Added 2025-08-12 23:00:44 +0000 UTCThe Mapleford Depot became a logistics powerhouse for the Empire, due to its placement between several waterways and major crossroads. New laborers were consistently amazed by the constant churn of boxes, sacks, and various other storage for goods. It was frequently said, "Not one crate that stood in the warehouse on sunrise would be present at sunset." What might seem like an exaggeration actually was closer to the truth.
The Quartermaster ran a tight ship, so to speak. Each day was a logistical puzzle, a riddle to be solved. Shipment requests came in by carrier nearly every quarter hour, and dinghies and wagons loaded and unloaded at every breath. Laborer breaks were even on the tightest of schedules, and all surveyed by the Quartermaster's eyes had to be just so.
Due to it's importance, everyone involved would be paid handsomely for such back-breaking labor, but none so much as the guards. For, if goods weren't to go missing, it would be the guards who must not want for anything. A cash strapped guard has less resistance against the temptation of skimming off the top. Besides, a guard who values their position so highly would be imagined to defend that job in parallel with it's perceived value.
Such was the well-oiled machine of Mapleford Depot. If all outposts operated at this level of efficiency, the Empire would be an economic powerhouse rivaled by none.
