Ironspoke Solutions
Ironspoke Solutions is the primary ironwork and engineering company in Mienica, with a strong reputation for its craftsmanship and reliability. The business is dwarf-led and employs a workforce that is predominantly dwarven, though it includes other skilled artisans and engineers from various backgrounds. Known for its expertise in structural integrity and mechanical engineering, Ironspoke plays a vital role in the maintenance and development of the city’s infrastructure.
The company is best known for its work on the city’s intricate lift systems, which connect the different korrus levels of Mienica. These lifts are essential for the city's day-to-day life, allowing for the movement of goods and people between the surface (the Sild), the Throat, and the Keldris below. Ironspoke is also responsible for reinforcing the structural integrity of the city, repairing damage caused by shifts in the lower floors or old, unstable construction. Their team is often called in to solve engineering challenges, particularly when repairs are delicate or dangerous.
While much of Ironspoke’s business is municipal, the company occasionally accepts private commissions from the wealthy elite or influential organizations, crafting intricate gates, statues, or custom ironwork. Their custom metal pieces are known for combining practicality with aesthetic design, making them highly sought after by Mienica’s upper class.
Although Ironspoke Solutions operates independently from criminal organizations like The Shade, they understand the unspoken rules of Mienica’s complex social network. The company avoids direct entanglements but maintains quiet agreements to ensure smooth operations, especially in areas with heavy Shade influence. This pragmatic approach keeps the lifts running and construction projects unimpeded, ensuring Ironspoke remains a cornerstone of Mienica’s infrastructure.
Ironspoke is a source of pride and tradition for its employees, especially the dwarves, who see their work as both an art and a responsibility. The business is regarded not just as a workplace but as a community hub, where apprentices learn their trade and elders pass down the wisdom of ironwork.
