County of Lion's Reach/right-col
Contents
Noble Fiefs
Noble fiefs 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 former Count and Countess had 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.
Barony of Astral Seas
That used to be the County seat back when there was an actual Count (and Countess) ruling over the County. The Barony itself - which still includes The Sideshow, although the old Lion's Reach Freehold is no more - has since been taken over by Baron Lonne and Baroness Roxanne d'Arte of House Fiona, the bale now residing in the Grove of Tethys.
Barony of the Ebon Watchtower
Small forested barony to the south east of Astral Seas, currently being overseen by Baroness Liazaelyn while renovations and changes are being made.
Barony of Divertimento Dithyramb Dance
This is the barony held by Baroness Liazaelen Blackpool ni Fiona. It centers upon Robyn's School of Music and Dance and Capricorn Studios. Seeking to continue to inspire those Dreams that have been planted here, she also looks to draw in new Dreamers through aiding underprivileged kids gain scholarships to the school through an endowment fund first set up by Count Leras and Countess Ionae and now continued by an Anonymous donor. There are a few rumors that come with laughs, that say many have shortened the name to the Barony of the Triple D's.
Barony of the Shadowed Souls
The islands that this Barony consists of are part of the history of the County. Strictly in the dreaming this island was a holding of former Countess Kelira. She deforested the largest of the islands while building a fort on it, that was subsequently torn down by an invading force loyal to the new Count Leras and Countess Ionae. However it seems that a new Baroness and Baron has taken up the Islands after working out a deal with the Counts of both Emerald Dale and Lion's Reach. It is now counted as The Barony of the Shadowed Souls
Districts
To obtain a noble fief or a district, one must have had a formal audience with the Count and Countess. During this meeting a proposal would have been made concerning the area you wished to claim, how you would foster the dream, and what your goals were. A decision would be reached with this (and at times require staff permission depending on the extent of the plan).
Rhapsody Freehold
This domain encompasses the Rhapsody nightclub and its rath, as well as the small bale held by a former Countess, Kelira, within the Freehold itself. It also contains the Meadow of the Well and Lost in Time Market. It is not currently 'held', nor, by ducal decree and enforced by local nobles, will it ever be 'held' by any particular fae. A powerful and ancient bygone looks over the balefire. Flagrant abuses or threats to the balefire, however, are taken seriously and are dealt with by the Market guards that keep continual watch over the nearby hearth.
Snow Fang Peak
The mountaintop-fortress has recently been re-discovered and -build as a commoner freehold and Mew. It is currently claimed byTalorc Dunadd.
The Ivory Clocktower
This domain encompasses the Student Union at UC Prospect and is held by Aisling Foster. Inspiring Makers and bringing together Dreamers from all over campus are the main goals.
