As the biggest corporation in Ley'Ork, the Harena Trade Union runs the country in all but name. Its executive board is headed by a few ultra-powerful families, who hold the cards to life in all Ley'Ork from the economy down to education and art. Despite nominally being a trade union, the HTUC is no true union, in fact participating in an immense bit of union busting. The families of the HTUC have remained in charge for decades, and have become well-known household names.

• Takeau: This family of rich half-elves claim to be one of the founding families of Ley’Ork. Even if that is true, it cannot be proven, as they figuratively, and literally, write the history of Ley’Ork. In charge of museums, history, the education system, etc. they keep their control by continually indoctrinating citizens that they belong in control.
• Vane: Head of industry in Ley’Ork, this human family controls factories, as well as the military-industrial complex. They secretly propagate wartime by sparking revolutions in other countries and selling weapons to them, while supplying Ley’Ork's military with weapons for 'anti-terrorist' efforts to continuously profit. They also run criminal labor camps and offer living complexes that exchange a home for labor (ultimately keeping these people in never ending exploitation).
• Wren: This family of Saedic elves, while not established in any office, holds a large amount of power through running the criminal underground throughout Ley’Ork. Officially, they own many casinos, gentlemen and ladies’ clubs, and other similar establishments in the Red Light Districts of major cities.
• Dævian: This family of gnomes are highly secretive, and not very well known within Ley’Ork. They secretly head the research and development of Ley’Ork and are responsible for pushing Ley’Ork into the current 'Steampunk Age.' They do unethical research sanctioned by the Takeau and Vane families, while being funded by the Wrens' illicit businesses, developing advanced magic and technology to keep these families in power.
