HUSSAINI CARPENTRY (WORKSHOP)

• Location: Industrial Ring, Morningstar
• Address: NW Industrial Ring Rd 2
• Surroundings: Immediately adjacent to the Fogwood Sawmill Headquarters

Founded in November 2626 by master sawmill operator Jaque Hussaini, Hussaini Carpentry Inc. transformed raw timber from Fogwood Sawmill Inc. into finished goods – furniture, framing beams, and bespoke woodwork - for Morningstar and other settlements of the Free State of Settlers. Encouraged and partially funded by his former boss Hanata Ito (who retains a 49 percent share), Jaque built a thriving workshop that bridged bulk milling and frontier construction trades.

After the Peace Treaty and the creation of the Federal Confederation in 2632, Hussaini Carpentry was incorporated into the Federal Wood Plant-network but continued operating its plant under the supervision of the Federal Allotment Agency.

The air hums with sanders and chisel strikes. Sawdust motes swirl in shafts of yellow-tinted lamp light. Rich wood stacked in neat piles fill the scent. Apprentices and Manual Labor Bots shuttle boards between benches and finishers. Upstairs, Jaque reviews blueprints while clerks call out order numbers below.

Hussaini Carpentry offers a stage for intrigue and craftsmanship-based quests:

• The Missing Logs: A critical shipment of seasoned lumber inexplicably vanishes on its short journey from the Fogwood Sawmill to the adjacent Hussaini Carpentry Inc. Since the carpentry is literally next door, there’s no clear route for the logs to disappear—and yet the delivery yard stands empty. Director Hanata Ito, baffled and furious at both the financial loss and the breach of his facility’s security, hires the PCs to unravel the mystery. Can the PCs recover the logs, unmask the saboteurs, and restore Fogwood’s reputation— or will the forest’s shadowy thieves strike again?
