 ===== History =====
-==== Founding and Monopoly (2625–2629)
+==== Founding and Monopoly (2625–2629) ====
 Hanata Ito leveraged his Trade Guild connections to block competing licenses, securing exclusive harvest rights that underwrote Fogwood’s rapid expansion. The mill processed hundreds of hectares of second-growth hardwoods annually, supplying settlers’ cabins, federal outposts, and the emergent lumber trade networks.
-==== Honga Conflict & War Prelude (2628–2631)
+==== Honga Conflict & War Prelude (2628–2631) ====
-By 2628, Honga protests over deforestation escalated into pitched clashes at logging camps. As tensions mounted across the Habitual Belt, Fogwood’s clear-cutting practices were cited among the catalysts of the [[great_war|Great War]]’s outbreak in 2629.

 ===== Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters =====
-Sabotage at the Gate: PCs might infiltrate the Town-Wall Gate to disrupt unauthorized logging operations.
+Fogwood Sawmill makes a rich backdrop for industrial intrigue or wilderness missions:
-Honga Negotiations: A tribal elder hires the party to recover sacred grove staves before Fogwood clears them.
+  * **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?
-Corporate Espionage: Rival sawmill interests—or Industry Guild agents—seek to undermine Fogwood’s Federal Plant integration by stealing kiln-dried samples.
-Political Intrigue: PCs escort Hanata Ito to Firetown’s assembly, fending off Communard demonstrators and Honga protesters.
