However as well as this Grayle Corp are also helping those who already inhabit it whether it’s with their businesses or for that all important quest.
The Grayle Corporation is committed to helping the people of Trenale find their Grail.
A Bit of History
Grayle Corporation started as a small investment company that saw the potential in a the Portal Town Trenale. With what was left of the money used to create the business they moved to Trenale to begin an expansion that would span the next 20 years, raising the company and town to the importance and brilliance that it has now. Over the years they redeveloped every aspect of Trenale, the town that before had been near to crumbling.
Those in charge of the development was a board of directors who had been their since the company was founded, led by our very own Anonymous CEO who to this very day still wishes to keep their identity a secret. The board in the present day however is not only made up of the founding members but also of members of the community from Trenale.
Since its arrival Grayle Corp has worked with Trenale Town Council to discuss what is best for Trenale. Despite not always being in agreement, Grayle Corp believes this communication to be important as the Trenale Council speaks for the people and Grayle Corp is always willing to listen.
Last year Grayle Corp played an important part in the ‘Avalon Disaster’, helping refugees from the disintegrating portal town integrate into Trenale. A team of researchers are still investigating the disaster but have yet to find a reason for the rapid deterioration of the portal town of Avalon leading to many of its inhabitants being transferred to Trenale.
Presently, Grayle Corp is working to continue the advancement of the town of Trenale with specific interest in its protection and defence.

A Message from the Anonymous CEO
Dear Citizens of Trenale,
It a pleasure and an hour to be the company that is providing your town with the development and resources it needs. I fell in love with this town the moment I saw it and it has been wonderful watching it grow over the years to become the wonderful place that it is today. What I loved about it was its uniqueness, its spark, the many different people that make it what it is, a brilliant place to live, study and work in.
My intention is to continue this progress that we are making through any adversity that may come our way. Whilst we and our town may have obstacles and struggles placed in our way, we shall always overcome and rise up stronger than before. By working together we make ourselves impenetrable and an unstoppable force.
And finally, may I express my deepest thanks to you, the people of Trenale, who make Grayle Corp and Trenale a delight to be a part of.
Thank you,
The Anonymous CEO
