Ironworks

Where Grimmstone Gets Its Hands Dirty

← All eight districts
Welcome to the neighborhood

The streets have stories

Factories, rail yards, workshops, and warehouses keep the city moving even when the clocks disagree.

Workers and families organize life around shifts, wages, safety, and machinery that must keep running.

The character of the district

Ironworks is Grimmstone’s industrial district: factories, rail yards, machine shops, warehouses, utilities, scrapyards, union halls, worker housing and the practical infrastructure that keeps every prettier district functioning.

It is loud without being lawless, dirty without being abandoned and dangerous mostly in the ordinary ways heavy machinery, electricity, rail traffic, hot metal and exhausted people can be dangerous. Magic exists here, but so do lockout procedures, shift whistles, safety glasses and foremen who will throw a wizard off the floor for ignoring posted rules.
