Dacanos Logging Company
Dacanos Logging Company is the largest logging company on Shireon.
History
Dacanos Logging Company was founded in AE 1853 by Miro Dacanos, a Kuprian businessman who couldn't fathom why nobody else had started a logging company in the Kuprian part of the Kael Thalori. He was happy nobody else had, though. He bought a small patch of land and started cutting trees to sell.
The logging company was successful, and during the years their owned land has grown quite a lot. In AE 1932 the small camp where the workers lived grew into a small hamlet, and Forestgate was born.
Although Asharia never was the largest buyer of Kael Thalori timber from Dacanos Logging Company, the sales did go down a bit during the Kuprian-Asharian War. This forced the company to reduce their employees slightly. Yet, as the war ended, the business started slowly blooming again. However, the original workforce (and their children) had grown too old for the hard logger's life, and most had left Forestgate for good decades ago.
During the years since the end of the war, the company has managed to get new employees to meet the slightly raised demand for timber.
Conflict
While Dacanos Logging Company doesn't have any serious conflict, there are some tension connected to this organization and its operations.
Enarion thinks the logging company are cutting down way too many trees. Sure, they do plant new trees in most of the areas they have cleansed for larger trees, but how can a tiny sapling replace a eight hundred old tree? The Enari are worried about the whole ecosystem in the area.
However, they don't own this specific part of the forest. There's nothing they can do, except trying to persuade the Kuprian government to put up some restrictions on how many trees can be cut in a specific sized area. They have been unsuccessful to this day, but won't give up.
