The Chaotic Neutral
Supply Co. Prospectus

Prepared for internal distribution. Leaked anyway.

Founding, allegedly

In the summer of 1974, a man named Rutherford P. Dill (allegedly) founded Chaotic Neutral Supply Co. in a repurposed surplus warehouse just outside a city that no longer appears on most maps. His mission was simple: provide equipment and apparel to individuals whose moral compass had been dropped, stepped on, and possibly eaten by a goat.

By 1976 the company employed forty people. By 1977 it employed eleven, all of whom claimed to have been there since the beginning. Payroll records from this period were stored in the basement and are therefore no longer records.

Dill was last photographed in 1981, holding a clipboard and pointing at something outside the frame. Nobody has identified the object. Two former employees have identified the clipboard.
