Notable Products
High Potency Salves
Gaily Forward produce a line of "high potency" salves, meant to replicate the effects of common potions such as a Potion of Healing, Barkskin, Refresh, etc. Gaily Forward's topically-applied salves are twice at potent as an internally-consumed potion, yielding double the normal uses for a similarly-sized container. Some have alleged that the knowledge of how to do this was stolen from another firm, but nothing has ever been proven.
Controversies
Illegal Labor
In 2009, Gaily Forward was embroiled in controversy when a whistleblower alleged the company was making undisclosed use of goblin slave-labor. The whistleblower, whose name is lost to time, vanished under suspicious circumstances, and nothing was ever proven.
Trade Secret Theft
In 2014, the corporation was again embroiled in legal trouble, having been accused of theft of trade-secrets by Boreal Emporium, whose owner Lord Covington Von Humphrey challenged Gaily's then-CEO to a duel to settle the matter. On the night before the duel, Lord Covington disappeared without a trace. It was alleged, but never proven, that he had been assassinated by the Black Company, but nothing could ever be proven.
2017 Bankruptcy
After several years of low sales, the company filed for bankruptcy. The company was subsequently sold at auction, and was purchased for an undisclosed sum by its now-current CEO, Lord Kieran.
New Leadership
Lord Kieran has worked to distance the company from its checkered past, by: ending the use of goblin labor; discontinuing production of poisons and dangerous weapons; and refocusing the company on the production of so-called "helpful, wholesome, healing" products.
