Since its founding, Irontown has had deep ties to House Cannith. House Cannith’s Fabricator’s Guild joined forces with Soranath smiths to innovate on steel production, leveraging a minor Fernian manifest zone to build the first structures of what would become Irontown. Viceroy Boros d’Cannith is the current head of production in the region and has garnered a reputation for a callous approach to worker safety.
While House Cannith technicians own the intellectual property rights to the refining processes used within Irontown and manufacture the arcane forges used by the refineries, the house directly owns very few of the refineries, which are instead owned and operated by private individuals.
