 ====== MISTSPRING WATER INC. MANUFACTORY ======
+{{:mistspring_water_inc_scenic2d.png?direct&400|}}
 ===== Overview =====
-  * **Founded:** September 2626
   * **Location:** [[atrana_mountains|Atrana Mountains]] source springs, northeastern foothills near [[atrana_mountains|Atrana Mountains]] summit streams, nearby [[Morningstar|Morningstar]]
   * **Address:** Mistspring Trail, 1.2 km upstream of the [[arla_river|Arla River]] headwaters
-  * **License:** Exclusive [[free_state_of_settlers|Free State of Settlers]] charter for Arla River source extraction
-  * **Slogan:** “Pure and fresh — directly from the Source.”
 [[mistspring_water_inc|Mistspring Water Inc.]] was established to bottle spring-fed water drawn from the pristine Arla River’s source outflows. Initially spurned by settlers who had abundant local water, the company found demand surged as industrial runoff and [[the_humans|exohuman]] expansion degraded traditional supplies. Their signature 750 mL sealed flasks of Mistspring Water became a Quickdraw staple at 6 K per flask, alongside bulk 5 L and 10 L containers (7 K/14 K) for domestic and commercial use — a pricey necessity in a thirsty frontier.
