From Drinking and Dragons
- Blackgate Consortium—A ruthless mining company backed by wealthy southern investors, determined to strip Skarnheim of its coal at any cost.
- The Rustwrights—Technicians specializing in restoring ancient machines, believing the city’s technology holds secrets far beyond coal. Soot-covered engineers and machinists who have restarted old engines and claimed dominion over the city’s industrial heart. A religious group worshipping fire and machinery, claiming the engines of Skarnheim are divine instruments awaiting reactivation.
- Forge Wives—A group of widows and women engineers running a critical smelting operation, and a quiet network of influence behind the scenes.
- Skarnheim Advisory Office—A small but strategic bureaucratic group tasked with coordinating resource allocation, taxation, and city planning for the crown.
- House Avenholt Freight & Iron—Controlling all major inbound and outbound rail shipments, this logistics powerhouse quietly decides who gets rich and who goes hungry.
- Golden Hollow Bank—The only financial institution willing to lend in Skarnheim, charging extortionate interest and keeping records no one else has.
- The Snowblind Choir—A native people’s doomsday cult convinced that the second avalanche was a warning, and the “thawing” of Skarnheim will awaken something terrible.
- The Iron Lanterns—An underground movement advocating for Skarnheim’s independence from the crown, often using sabotage to send their message.
- Guild of Northern Cartographers—Mapmakers and explorers charting the sprawling underground railways and long-forgotten tunnels beneath Skarnheim.
- The First Claimers—A boastful and possibly fraudulent band of adventurers who insist they found Skarnheim before anyone else—want their due.
- Sootsnakes—They maintain Skarnheim's most critical infrastructure: the vast network of steam pipes and massive boilers. Without their work, Skarnheim freezes again. No one faction enough to mess with their operations since harming them is harming everyone. ([Daryl's] mental image: functionally comparable to the Dabus in Sigil.) c/f: steamfitters
