Pyre-Grain Chemical & Curing Co. 

Company Town Name: Pyre-Grain (or "Kiln-Town")

Syndicate Power Level: Fast-Rising Mid-Tier (Direct rival to the Arboreal Ferrite Company)

Core Niche: Chemical treating, pressure-steaming, and fireproofing ironoak for Iron Thistle Union (ITU) foundries and military fortifications.

Corporate Outlook & Governance: Technocratic and hazardous. The town is perpetually blanketed in yellow sulfurous steam and acidic fumes. The company enforces mandatory respirator use—charging workers daily scrip fees to replace their filter cartridges. Pyre-Grain is obsessed with trade secrecy, deploying specialized counter-intelligence agents alongside standard enforcers to prevent rival syndicates or state auditors from learning their proprietary chemical curing formulas.
