Dakshin Bhartiya Empire, Vijayanagara State, Bhagal Kota, Raya Ironworks.

October 1st, 1655

Multiple factories are lined up in a neat formation, smoke billowing out of each one of them. Workers in brown work clothes were hurrying in and out of these factories, and carriages, some with a yellow paint job, were seen coming and going frequently into this giant industrial cluster. Surprisingly, most of these factories have the same name: Raya Ironworks. These factories are located in Bagal Kota in the Vijayanagar state of the empire, the first place where the iron smelting factory was established, the first step of His Majesty's industrialization of the empire.
