Cogwheel catfolk are expert crafters and are well known for creation of materials such as brick, steel, and steam engines. The Cogwheel workers care deeply about unionization, and their factories ("indie factories") are driven by a love for their craft and wish to make lives for catfolk easier. Many Cogwheel cats feel a desire to invent and tinker, but are limited by the demands for materials and exports by other Boroughs. Their free time is valuable and drives their wishes to fight for workers' rights.

Cogwheel has contributed many technological advances and hosts many brilliant catfolk, the most important being steam-powered magic.

Location

Cogwheel is located in the southern hemisphere of Mewmoia. Many of the territory's factories were previously owned by The Metropolis, although some Metro-owned properties remain.

Culture

In the Southernmost region of Kotemara, several cats from the Metropolis felt stunted by the magical pursuits of the early city, wanting to tinker and create with their own paws. Disgruntled and full of inventive prowess, a traveling union settled themselves among the hissing steam vents and built a new city.

The grinding gears of Cogwheel never stop turning. Here, cats meld metal and fire into something greater than the sum of their parts. Invention and creativity powers every step forward, as industry blossoms from the smoldering factories. Much of the new age technology with respect to locomotives, plumbing, and electricity have come from Cogwheel inventors.

Cogwheel cats believe strongly in togetherness, unity, and teamwork, holding onto values kept from their genesis in Harvest. Sharing with their ancestors a propensity for hospitality and good food, with an even stronger emphasis on loyalty. Yet the strong grip that The Metropolis has on their governance and exports is palpable. Warm and welcoming is a Cogwheel cat until pushed so far…

Tensions

There are tensions between the workers of Cogwheel and The Metropolis. Despite this, there is still a sense of camaraderie among the workers in the factories.
