| − | The County of Lion's Reach is a promising County that encompasses downtown Prospect (RL San Diego) and surrounding suburbs, extending chimerically from the shore of the Ocean of Pacifica across the cliffs and plains, though the Eastern and Western Woods, over the Snow Fangs and into the Shadow Sands desert. While the political climate has previously been unstable, the current [[Dyson|<font color="PaleTurquoise">Count Leras</font>]] and [[Alala|<font color="PaleTurquoise">Countess Ionae</font>]] have made significant strides towards the prosperity of the County. The County is typically viewed as Traditionalist with Reformer leanings, though with the nobility both of House Fiona major concessions are made for the benefit of the commoners. Those of the Seelie and Unseelie Court are both welcome within the County, though it should be noted that the [[Escheat|<font color="PaleTurquoise">Escheat</font>]] is strictly upheld and the population is generally more Seelie. <br><br>The County is particularly promising for Kinain, be they prodigal or not, who wish to take part in Kithain society. This mandate from the Duchy has been faithfully held to in the County. Loyal Kinain are allowed to participate in all events, and even to hold positions in the Court.

The traditions that make up the Escheat form the basic laws of Kithain society. Believed to have originated among those wise faeries who lived closest to the Dreaming, they were recorded after the Sundering as a way to ensure fae survival in the face of inexorable change. Passed down and enforced by the nobility, the Escheat's tenets are respected by both Seelie and Unseelie nobles (though each Court has variations on how it interprets each principle). The Escheat is not enforced by Glamour, but instead carries the force of law, tradition and custom. Occasionally the Dreaming works its own chimerical subtleties around the Escheat, making certain that its rules are kept or forcing those who break it to reap the consequences of their actions.<br> | + | background : #02194B; |

Introductions may be initiated via missive (page/@mail suffices) or via contacting the Herald, [[Cody|<font color="PaleTurquoise">Cody</font>]]. At this point a formal audience will be had with the [[Dyson|<font color="PaleTurquoise">Count</font>]] and [[Alala|<font color="PaleTurquoise">Countess</font>]]. It is common knowledge that it is standard for them to offer hospitality at Lion's Reach, and if applicable, offer work around [[Sideshow|<font color="PaleTurquoise">Sideshow</font>]]. The Count also is prone to asking what one's purpose, passions or interests are within the County. This is a good time for a character to broach their interests and perhaps a niche can be found within the County. It should be noted that for active, involved players that Court positions have been made to fill niche roles. The enhancement of roleplay opportunity is the idea, as well as swift involvement in the sphere. Feel free to page Dyson or Alala with questions! | + | color: white; |

It extends chimerically from the shore of the Ocean of Pacifica across the cliffs and plains, through the Eastern and Western Woods, over the Snow Fangs and into the Shadow Sands desert. The political climate had been in a state of flux since the ruling Sidhe couple departed for the Kingdom of Apples towards the end of the summer of 2013, though it has stabilized. Left without an actual Count or Countess to rule over it - or, for that matter, much of a Sidhe presence at all amongst the local Barons and Baronesses - the County was briefly replaced by a considerably more relaxed semi-government by primarily Unseelie Satyrs until the appointment of a new Countess: [[Naevys|Naevys Eloen ni Gwydion, Giant-Slayer of the Battle at Moon's Crossing, Dragon's Hope Peacemaker]], by the Duke in the Spring of 2014. |

| − | Noble fief's are the territories that are held by nobility, while districts are those territories that are held by commoners. Lion's Reach is unique in that it grants territory to commoners, so long as they foster the Dream. The [[Dyson|<font color="PaleTurquoise">Count</font>]] and [[Alala|<font color="PaleTurquoise">Countess</font>]] have made no qualms about their adamant support of fostering the Dream, no matter if it is via commoner or noble. Hard work is supported in full. <br><br>
| |
| − | To obtain a noble fief or a district, one must have a formal audience with the Count and Countess. During this meeting a proposal must be made concerning the area you wish to claim, how you will foster the dream, and what your goals are. A decision will be reached with this (and at times require staff permission depending on the extent of the plan).<br><br>

| − | * Count Belan ap Gwydion
| |
| − | ::Seelie Sidhe Grump While Count Belan was formally neutral to the County of Lion's Reach, recent political events have raised his brows. While he did not support the returning Countess [[Kelira|<font color="PaleTurquoise">Kelira</font>]] in her actions, this staunch Traditionalist Sidhe did point out some of the more valid of her claims. He also suggested that she spent such a length of time in the Dreaming that her bedlam was obvious, and perhaps she should have been given time before the untested Fiona were appointed in her stead. There is little secret that before the prior Countess [[Kelira|<font color="PaleTurquoise">Kelira</font>]] left on her mighty quest that the two were courting. Speculation is that the loyalty of his heart will always rest with her.

| − | * Baron Erol ap Fiona, '''Barony of Twisted Oaks'''
| |
| − | ::Seelie Sidhe Grump. Confined to a wheel chair in both meins, due to an accident that took the life of his mortal lover and mother of a kinain child he now claims as his own. That child went missing, having been captured by a Roc. Former Squire Liazaelyn ni Fiona rescued the boy as her Fior Righ. Along the way she discovered the boy's true father, Arif Ingard ap Scathach, a solitary and grim sort and rival of the Baron. For her work in rescuing the boy and easing the conflict between the powerful men, she earned her Knighthood and title of 'Heart-Mender'.
| |
| − | *Baroness Abinaya ni Gwydion, '''Barony of Painted Stone'''
| |
| − | ::Unseelie Sidhe Wilder. Not much is known about this Barony. Few seem to travel to or from the remote, forested land. Most gossips who have anything at all to say about the place only say that the Baroness is not one to be crossed, and those that say so, typically look a little nervous while saying so.

| |
| − | * Count Cyldeach ap Fiona
| |
| − | ::Seelie Sidhe Grump Count of the Reflective Dawn, a nearby County, Count Cyldeach is a political ally of the County of Lion's Reach. The alliance was formed through the nobility to aid in the construction of the marketplace to the benefit of his people. Resources and an overseer was extended in offering. Count Cyldeach is invited to many of the events and attends those that are not official holidays (which he celebrates in his own County). The Sidhe is interested in the potential revenue for his crafters in the marketplace as well as aiding his fellow Fiona, [[Dyson|<font color="PaleTurquoise">Count Leras</font>]] and [[Alala|<font color="PaleTurquoise">Countess Ionae</font>]]. His County's martial force is lackluster but present, though they have no outstanding rivals.

| − | * Baroness Merridwyn ni Dougal, '''Barony of the Gilded Wheel'''
| |
| − | ::Seelie Sidhe Wilder A strong political ally of the County of Lion's Reach - or perhaps particularly [[Dyson|<font color="PaleTurquoise">Count Leras</font>]] and [[Alala|<font color="PaleTurquoise">Countess Ionae</font>]] - is the Baroness Merridwyn that serves underneath Count Cyldeach. Her chimerical frogmen were lent for the construction of the Faerie Market and although there was some stop and go construction due to numerous events, she has been a faithful supporter in Count Leras and Countess Fiona, backing their causes. During the recent fiasco with the Gwydion, [[Kelira|<font color="PaleTurquoise">Kelira</font>]], she was attempting to rally all to lend their official support to the County of Lion's Reach.
| |
| − | * Baron Frankavel ap Eiluned, '''Barony of Mirrored Shores'''
| |
| − | ::Seelie Sidhe Grump The Baron is a known member of the Crystal Circle and seems to be in the last days of his Grumphood. He's been in power since just after the Accordance War and has remained a Grump for several long decades. It's rumored that he's not actually going to fade but is just faking it in order to take a vacation from the endless petitioners who flock to his door in search of answers only he can offer.

| − | * Countess Voughn ni Gwydion
| |
| − | ::Unseelie Sidhe Wilder. The entire County has a somewhat shady reputation, not at all helped by the Countess' legendarily unpredictable temper. Not known as a particularly stable ally, the Countess, who is only 17 is known to be on politically thin ice with the Duke and Duchess, only her personal history as a fledge to the Duchess has kept her in power.
| |
| − | * Baron Mejaellin ap Gwydion, '''Barony of Weeping Leaves'''
| |
| − | ::Unseelie Sidhe Wilder. A late Wilder at almost forty, rumor has it he has been a significant influence on the young Countess. Rumor mongers spread rumors that he secretly took her as a lover nearly two years ago, despite the vast difference in their ages, with the knowledge that it was she who would assume the County seat and not him. Some say it was a deliberate act against the Duchess and no small victory when he managed to coax Voughn to take the mantle of her Unseelie side.
| |
| − | * Baroness Varda ni Fiona, '''Barony of Cranesfell'''
| |
| − | ::Unseelie Troll Wilder. A newly elevated Baroness, Varda took control of the Barony by Voughn's word when the last Seelie holdout, Lady Tamae ni Fiona was lost to Banality. Varda is a rough and ready sort. She is something of a local celebrity Strongwoman slash wrestler.
| |
| − | * Baron Leonweylln Far Eye ap Eiluned, '''Barony of Dusty Rivers'''
| |
| − | ::Unseelie Sidhe Grump. Hardly a stabilizing presence, the mad old Far Eye is known to be one of the most paranoid fae on the west coast. He's drawn up his gates and rarely lets any of his people out. Only the need for provisions and to accept or receive tithes gets his rusty wheels to spin long enough to lower the draw bridge.

| − | * [[Kelira|<font color="PaleTurquoise">Kelira</font>]]
| |
| − | ::This former Countess of Radiant Hope (now known as County of Lion's Reach) left on a voyage into the Deep Dreaming, abandoning her County Seat (the Rhapsody Freehold/Faerie Market) in search of Faerie Immortality. She returned many years later with her army of chimera and her extreme viewpoints even more prominent. While initially she reclaimed the County, her proclamations of madness and ludicrous demands soon had her stripped of her title and [[Dyson|<font color="PaleTurquoise">Count Leras</font>]] and [[Alala|<font color="PaleTurquoise">Countess Ionae</font>]] put in her place. This is when she decided to wage war on the Duchy, inhabiting the island of Fort Lodestone.

| − | * Emily Viktor
| |
| − | ::Very little is known about Emily Viktor at this point other than she was a Nocker prodigy that disappeared a number of years ago. A Boggan Grump more recently was chatting it up at the Sideshow and said he saw the oddest thing. He could have sworn that he saw the lost Emily and when he called out to her she ran into a drainage tunnel.

| − | * Raoul
| |
| − | ::<strike>Baron Raoul ap Ailil, the Knave of Spades, Herald of Fimbulwinter, and servant to the Court of Shadows is an infamous Sidhe who is the oathsworn enemy of [[Ferdinand|<font color="PaleTurquoise">Ferdinand</font>]]. After Ferdinand's father crafted a brilliant blade for the Baron, he reneged on his payment and murdered him for sport instead. He is known for having an air of predatory brutishness about him (an oddity for a Sidhe and especially an Ailil) as well as an echo of frost and winter that follows in his wake. For some time it has been speculated that the Baron has hidden himself either in the County of Lion's Reach or in one of the neighboring ones, along with his band of mercenaries.</strike> The Baron has gone missing! No one has seen of nor heard from him since this past Samhain. His mercenaries, now leaderless, have scattered to the surrounding counties, afraid that they will be next to disappear. Still, some whisper that they will regroup soon, and wreak all manner of havoc on the counties in recompense for the disappearance of their liege.
