Basin Tires Factory
unique_objectOld industrial tire factory on city outskirts beneath elevated train tracks, receiving large incoming shipments despite minimal production
The Basin Tires Factory first appears in The Lost Metal as a seemingly mundane industrial site on the outskirts of Elendel, yet its suspicious activity—large incoming shipments paired with minimal visible production—marks it as a covert hub for the Set’s clandestine operations. Positioned beneath elevated train tracks, the factory serves as both a logistical node and a front for smuggling weapons, Allomantic grenades, and other illicit materials into the city. Its strategic location and deceptive façade underscore the broader theme of industrialization masking political subversion in the post-Catacendre era.
