County of Lion's Reach/left-col
Contents
Caer Buillemilis, County Seat
Located within the Kingfisher Shores Golf and Country Club, Caer Buillemilis was home to the Duke while he stayed in Prospect. Upon appointing Countess Naevys to her position and with business taking him to the north, it was decided he would pass the freehold to her to be used as the new county seat for Lion's Reach. It is from here that the Countess or her Majordomo can be reached when needed by any Kithain or Kinain within the county.

History
Lion's Reach has evolved through the last few years with a rich and interesting past. A recounting of significant people and points can be found HERE.
Points of Interest
Seasprite's Mine
The main source of chimerical steel and other metals and gemstone for the Country of Lion's Reach lies to the north-west of the Grove of Tethys on the shore.
Spiderhollow Tree
Situated in a depression deep in the woods, a huge tree stands in a clearing, housing countless spiders in its branches and the surrounding spider-web covered woods. The creatures are vicious in their hunting, though have stayed mostly confined to the area surrounding the tree, excepting a couple of small groups that prey on traffic on the silver path south of it. Rumor has it that some of the trees there can move and will prey on kithain, entangling them in vines or roots.
Smuggler's Cove
A small deep cove connected to a cave where pirates and others have been known to make land to drop off goods. There's even the wreckage of a ship there that can be explored. Some say it was a pirate's, others say a ship of Kelira's. The truth remains a mystery.
The Lodestone Islands
The islands are part of the history of the County. The former Countess Kelira deforested the largest of the islands while building a fort. It was subsequently torn down by an invading force loyal to the former Count Leras and Countess Ionae. Baroness Ambrosine has taken control of the Islands after working out a deal with the Counts of both Emerald Dale and Lion's Reach. Her holding there is currently known as The Barony of the Shadowed Souls.
Ziggurats of Blood
Situated to the south-east along the coast, in the Jungles bordering on the Emerald Dale, the Ziggurats and it's Jaguar-headed humanoid Chimera had been 'claimed' by Lady Lezsara ni Eiluned, but attempts to recruit kithain to her court proved futile. Eventually the freehold was turned over to new Gwydion holders and renamed The Barony of the Crystal Rose. News has ceased coming from the freehold there.
Oasis of Steam
The far east of the County, over the Snowfang mountain, bordering on trods that lead deeper into the Dreaming lies the Oasis and a settlement of scorpion-tailed, humanoid chimera.
