Joule Foundation

The Joule Foundation is the major developer of the port towns of Parm and New Parm. They also are the founder of the Garlyle Forces. Not a lot is known about them as they are never featured in any great detail in Grandia. However, their logo (a lightning bolt within a circle) is featured in a number of different buildings and vehicles, including the Steamer, New Parm Mansions and even the New Parm Church. It can therefore be assumed that Joule has had a strong hand in the industrialisation of the human world and the colonisation of new locations.
