History
National Vault was founded in 114 CE by Crassus Divamque. After a valuable book had been stolen from Crassus he realized the business potential in storing valuable items for other people at a fee. He asked several wealthy families he knew for investment and he eventually accumulated enough money to construct the building today known as the Grand Vault. The building was made of large marble blocks, including the then advanced three meter thick vault door. The building was quite large, covering 320 sq meters in floor area.

Crassus quickly became known in the upper class, with the fame eventually spreading as far as China.

The company quickly expanded, employing nearly 800 people sixteen years after it was established. The headquarter had now expanded to four 800 sq meter floors.
