| abstract | - The Venture Trading Company, also known as the Venture Company and Venture Co., is the most notorious goblin organisation, deforesting and plundering the world for its natural resources to an extent that concerns even regular goblins. Well, some of them, anyway. Mogul Razdunk owns and runs the Venture Company. It is an independent faction (although most of its members are hostile to everyone in-game for quest purposes. Mainly tauren and night elves are hostile to them in published lore) that operates in Undermine, Ratchet, Mulgore, The Barrens, Azuremyst Isle, and the Stonetalon Mountains regions of Kalimdor — as well as Stranglethorn Vale in the Eastern Kingdoms and Sholazar Basin and Grizzly Hills in Northrend. Largely run and managed by goblins, it employs a few gnomes in high engineering positions. It provides employment (and possibly shanghaiing) to all of the sentient races of Azeroth as laborers, even (perhaps especially) the less intelligent ones such as ogres and gnolls.
