The Colony

The Colony is a region in Wendovia settled by the peoples of Estinial and is home to the major settlements of Arks City and Rockfall. It has quickly become the most prosperous and industrialized region in all of Orslozgo, sitting on the only known coal reserves.

These coal reserves have enabled the industries of The Colony to out produce those of other parts of the world in efficiency. The vast North Pine Forests are harvested for their wood, the Lion's Main Mountains are mined and quarried for their stone, and the rich waters of the North Sea are netted for their fish.

The region's coal has been utilized and their resources and factories made so productive by the invention of pressurized steam machines and vehicles. Many household and industrial machines are powered on varying sized capsules of highly pressurized steam. Drills, saws, mills, weaving machines, etc. are able to out perform their human or animal powered counterparts of the south. Along with this small rail networks connect work fields, mines, logging camps, and foundries with countless wagons pulled by mighty steam engines.

The majority of factories are located in Arks City leading to the majority of raw materials being transported there for processing. Rockfall is however home to a substantial number of industrial parks but the freezing of it's bay in the winter months leads to a yearly production slump. The city does however maintain the most extent lines for the delivery of raw materials. Everything harvested in the North must first pass through the hub of Rockfall before going south to Arks City. The smaller towns and settlements in The Colony are mainly single resource communities.
