Arrowhead Mines

Owned by the Penton family, the Arrowhead Mines are miles outside the city proper, but their ore comes to the city’s smelters every day by rail. A private line, carefully defended, runs from the mines to the city’s edges, and the whole complex is part of a large commercial cartel – rather shadowy and shifty – with connections and holdings in heavy industry, thickets of front-men and hollowed-out chartered firms. A small town is nestled in between the chaos of industry serving as a base for the carefully vetted workers who risk injury and death daily in the winding tunnels of the mine. 

At its heart, Arrowhead is a very large and powerful firm, run by the elder Jesiah Penton for forty years until it passed on to his son, also named Jesiah Penton. The mines produce primarily iron and coal, but a small amount of other materials as well. The Pentons were deeply involved in the creation of the torque bombs that destroyed Suroch during the Pirate Wars. It is rumoured that secret research facilities exist deep within the hollowed out tunnels of Arrowhead Mines.
