Aetherus Fabricum- Heaven’s Forge
Aetherus Fabricum has always been in the weapons dealing business, and that has never changed throughout its history. Huge factories cluster the interior as the people work tirelessly to manufacture firearms for various war-torn timelines. Living in this Chronolith requires ear plugs as the constant din of machines has numbed its people. Some have developed a sophisticated sign language in order to convey quick and complicated commands without shouting.
There are those on the Fabricum who want to see an end to the constant industry, and anarchists and terrorists often hit the factory districts, eager to deplete or hinder the steps of the ongoing war machine.
Some have been driven insane by the sleepless nature of the Chronolith--usually those unable to afford noise-canceling devices or soundless rooms. Asylums have been built all over the Fabricum to house those who are going mad due to the din of industry. Some have been rumored to be used in experiments, others sent off to various timelines for labor or war.
Due to its isolation from society, the Fabricum has started testing some more vile experiments on various wildlife, creating horrible mutations capable of ripping people apart with little to no effort. Some of these they've kept within the Chronolith as guard creatures or spies, specialized in brutality or assassination. Others have been released into random timelines and the results have been documented.
Riots have been common in this Chronolith due to poor wages, corruption, and militaristic operations being waged on the populace. Because of this, the Black Coats have become far more punishing of any infractions. Homes are often raided when suspected of harboring anarchist cells, and goods are often stolen during these investigations.
