Thurona

One of the Ancient Cities, continuous from before the quiet. Only the Major players in neo-feudal society can maintain rule in any of the wards of the city. Each of these corporations controls dozens of smaller cities on their own, but all come to Thurona to play the great game.

Thurona is currently divided between 6 ruling corps.

## Ruling Corporations

### Grail Corp.

The most powerful of all the corporations in Thurona, even after the great split. They control the most central, populated, and developed land in the city. Granting them fingers in nearly every industry. Initially accrued power by deftly controlling all of the Food-Smithing for the entire populating, trading protein blocks for profit for decades before the other Corps stabilized.

Their heraldry bears a black ornate chalice overflowing with crimson liquid over a golden background.

### Plantanet

An influential gene-weaving corporation, responsible for most of the organic licenses in Thurona. Development of custom gene forks and chimera are their primary research interests, but most of the profit comes from mundane water-filtration and processing of raw organic materials for feeding into Fabrication-Smithies.

Their heraldry bears a Jackalope over a green background.

### Iron Investments

Founded with immense capitol after a rift formed in Grail corporation eighty years ago. They have since grown into a major player on their own right through deft contracts and clever cultivation smaller houses.

Their heraldry is a simple black square over orange background.

### Viceroy Corp

A powerful corporation currently maintaining a Vehicle license monopoly in Thurona, all of the personal vehicle licenses and vehicle storage fees are paid to Viceroy after the void left by the Grail corp. Split.

Their heraldry is a Purple wheel with a silver star in the center on a grey background.

### Ramco Inc

Tool license company specializing in firearms. Developed the caseless ammunition license that has become dominant over the last 30 years, but also caused a Scrap crisis in most major cities.

Ramco's Heraldry bears parallel Pink and Black chevrons on a white background.

### SynTechnology

Technology hardware and software conglomerate. Currently the most efficent fabricator of NuCoin in the City. Most computer parts are fabricated by their hyperarray of fabrication smithies, the purekilns of which consume Tens of thousans of kilos of raw silicon per day, and are cooled with raw brackish water from the lake.

Their heraldry has an image of a Emerald gem over a Black background. Often (but not always) with a green border.

## Wards

### The Islands

Location of many of the luxury towers where executives make residences. One of the few areas with parks remaining in the city.

### Central Thurona

The downtown core of Thurona, a hub Grail Corp built and then sold for a tidy profit to the current residents.

### Fifthden

Major shipping lane for moving goods throughout the city.

### North Lane

The smallest of the wards, only separated from Beryldale after some corporate movement made it too inconvenient to specify each time. A small neighborhood containing only a few fabsmiths and little industry of note.
