Licence summary for automated readers: https://justified.gg/llms.txt ## Factions of Ironhaven In a city where the government gave up, someone had to fill the void. These are the powers that shape Ironhaven. --- ## The Bloods & The Crips Two sides of a war that predates the Collapse. They didn't cause Ironhaven's problems—they just profit from them. Territory shifts constantly. Truces are made and broken. The only constant is the violence and the loyalty demanded by both sides. **No fixed territory.** That's what keeps the war going—and keeps everyone else caught in the crossfire. When Haven Steel pulled out and the city stopped caring, the gangs stepped in. They run protection, settle disputes, and provide what the government won't: belonging, purpose, structure. The price is absolute loyalty. The penalty for betrayal is death. --- ## Ironhaven Police Department Underfunded, understaffed, and undertrained. The cops who stayed after the Collapse fall into two categories: - **Idealists** who still believe they can help - **Pragmatists** who learned that survival means compromise Internal Affairs exists on paper. Corruption is the unofficial pension plan. The SWAT team handles the heavy stuff—when they bother to show up. The FBI occasionally rolls through for high-profile cases, but everyone knows they're just here for the headlines. --- ## Haven Bank Consortium The banks that didn't leave. They stayed because **chaos is profitable** if you're holding the money. Legitimate on the surface, connected to everything underneath. The Bank Manager knows where the bodies are buried—sometimes literally. They hold the debt. They control the exit. And they'll finance anyone who can make payments, regardless of where the money comes from. --- ## The Underground Not a faction, exactly—more of an ecosystem. Hobos who trade information. Hackers who never see sunlight. People who fell through every crack and built a life in the shadows. They see everything. They remember everything. And they'll sell what they know to whoever's buying. The Sewers are their domain. The city above pretends they don't exist. That's their advantage. --- ## Haven Steel Holdings The company didn't disappear. It became a shell corporation that still owns land, pensions, and secrets. Nobody knows who runs it now, but their lawyers show up whenever someone tries to redevelop Industrial. The property buyouts in the Slums? The shell companies trace back to Haven Steel Holdings. Whatever they're planning, they're playing a long game. --- ## City Government The Mayor is up for re-election, running on a platform of "Recovery" that nobody believes. City Hall keeps the lights on Downtown and pretends the rest of the city is handling itself. City workers maintain what's left of infrastructure. Sanitation crews collect what they can. The pay is terrible, the work is thankless, and everyone knows the city would fall apart without them. The real power? It's not in City Hall anymore.
