Government

"Somewhat constitutional republic/oligarchy." (Source: Discord)
Republic with elected representatives, yet there is also a ruling class of old wealth that has a significant sway over the country as a whole. But the average citizen would say that the power lies in the hands of the various gangs that struggle for control in the wards within The One City. (Source: [OG] Adair Audio 1)

"[Technology progression] has allowed for automation to some degree, displacing some workers and eventually the faction called the Iron Hearts was formed." (Source: Discord)
"**Yellmen** (pinertons), [the anti-union efforts], clash [with the Iron Hearts] constantly." (Source: Discord)
"[There are] all manner of crime families and gangs, such as the Night Life to the more established ones like the Precinct, who are more like the Brookemore police." (Source: Discord)
“Flint and Gem aren't members of any of the Brookemore gangs, they do work with the factions sometimes but doesn't tie too heavily to them.” (Source: Discord)

“The Conway-Greene gang [mentioned in Silas Audio Part 1] was a very small time outlaw gang that robbed stagecoaches at one point. Most of them were caught, imprisoned or hanged.” (Source: Discord)
Outlaws can be caught by Bounty Hunters. See more from Silas’s experience as a Bounty Hunter. (Source: Silas Audio Series)

"A Luddite type of faction that routinely vandalized and sabotaged the factories they used to work at before being replaced." (Source: Discord)
"The Iron Hearts and Night Life are known to smuggle goods and people from time to time." (Source: Discord)
"[The Iron Hearts are adjacent to luddites], mostly composed of former factory workers and laborers whose jobs and livelihoods were impacted by the rise of automation. Blue collar folks who fight against those that embraced the machines that replaced them." (Source: Discord)
Iron Hearts love to modify, especially to a large degree, any machine they come across. Usually it's to break other machines or otherwise cause all manner of havoc. (Source: Flint Audio Part 4)
One of their machines was set to be auctioned off at the Dareven Auction House: A "motorized steam automata formerly pit pony model JN-625. Stolen by the rebel group known as the Iron Hearts. Illegally modified and used in dozens of raids across many businesses." (Source: Flint Audio Part 4)
