Industry
Industry is the large-scale work of refining, manufacturing and producing goods. In Geminaea, much of it revolves around Aethyr: refining it, using it to drive machinery, and turning raw materials into the technology the rest of society depends on.
How It Works
Section titled “How It Works”Industrial centers gather foundries, refineries, workshops and factories, powered by Aethyr turbines, crystal reactors and similar machinery. Ore, crystal and timber come in from mines and forests; metal, glass, engines and finished goods go out along trade routes.
Common Uses
Section titled “Common Uses”Most societies of Geminaea depend on industry in some form, from small workshops to great foundries and refineries. Which places lead in which trades, and who controls them, is left to the pages of each region.
Availability
Section titled “Availability”Heavy industry gathers near Aethyr nodes, mines and ports. Skilled workers are always in demand, and on Ravena the Estros Assembly represents artisans, tradesfolk and contract workers outside the Pact-bound guilds.
Industry carries real costs, from dangerous working conditions to the instability of concentrated Aethyr, which can cause catastrophes. How those costs fall on particular places and peoples is yet to be described.
