Ebonhawke
Ebonhawke is a town located in the -,+ quadrant. It was founded in the heart of a canyon, with the intent of being a shelter for weary travelers making their way through the harsh climate of the surrounding region. The defining structure is the Hawkgate, a massive wall that spans from the western side of the canyon to the eastern side. Though surrounded by ice mountains, Ebonhawke itself is built on the bed of a river, and it is this river that provided ground for growing trees and crops that were crucial to the first weeks of it's survival.
Trade & Resources
Groundwork for a rail line to Requiem in the east was laid out very early on from the start of the outpost, but abandoned halfway during the Titan War. In May 2015, a rail connection with Thule to the west was completed. Plans for a port are also in place in the distant future, but low on priority. The largest natural resources of Ebonhawke are iron ore, spruce wood, obsidian and ice. There are also large supplies of string, wool, and leather.
Structure & Organization
Ebonhawke has no established form of government, and functions de facto as a free city. Local organizations vie for control of the region with their influence. Historically, the first organization was the Ebon Company which built the eastern wing sector buildings and shops. Not long after, the Orichalcum Corporation emerged, and quickly began to dominate mining, agriculture, and trading operations. Instead of settling traditionally on the bottom of the canyon where buildings were already under construction, the Orichalcum Corporation chose to distance itself from the Ebon Company and settle on the peak of the canyon. A third registered organization, dubbing itself the Heart of the Mountain, owns a single building that lies on the the coast. With no clear intentions known to the public, locals describe the Heart of the Mountain as a "cult following".
