The Glendale Tool Company

Welcome to Glendale: The Jewel City!

Officially, the Glendale Tool Company is a small 501(c)3 educational non-profit corporation in Glendale, California. Shrouded by trees, and established in a Cold War-era aerospace hangar, the company used to be known for such things as tutoring youth in math and science, and as producing amazing fireworks shows.

Previously to being the home of the GTC, the building was the home of Montague Helicopters before that company's demise by buyout in the 1980s. Its history in the Montague family goes back to Harold Montague's earliest days as aerospace magnate in the Verdugos.

Unofficially, the Glendale Tool Company is a co-operative chantry of Traditions Mages. One of the leading such organizations in Los Angeles County, it is known as the Chantry of Glendale. It is the center of power for Adepts/Elites and Etherites in the city, though the history of GTC shows that it has been home to many other Traditions who shared the same goals or a world view compatible to a world of Scientific Wonder.

The company is collectively run according to a charter granted the group by a Council-led arbitration after the death of founder Nash Smith, and the disappearance into space of patron Harold Montague.

The company's members have distinguished themselves in fighting for the Traditions, for peace, and for free science.

They even saved R.E.S. Future, the last great Ethership built in Los Angeles, in the very same hangar.

Going forward, the company must balance its peaceful and scientific missions, with the defense of the members' way of life. It will not be painless or costless.
