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 Countess has made no qualms about her 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
The former County seat, now a Barony. Taken over by Carolyn Seabhaic ni Scathach, until her untimely passing in the spring of 2019. The bale resides in the Grove of Tethys Freehold, and is now seen over by Baroness Rothia Dandyll ni Gwydion.
Barony of Divertimento Dithyramb Dance
This is the barony formerly held by Baroness Liazaelen Blackpool ni Fiona. The business containing the Rath had fallen into the hands of Winter, but was redeemed for the Dreaming by Baron Richard Sterling ap Fiona. In 2023, the Baroness Mereid Gwenet ni Dougal returned to the County and by request of the Duke has held it. Centering on the Freehold of Capricorn Glade, the barony stands as a place of peace and comfort, where all are welcome to take their ease so long as they are likewise peaceable in their intent.
Barony of the Shadowed Souls
The islands that this Barony consists of are part of the history of the County. Existing solely in the Dreaming, this island was a holding of former Countess Kelira. She deforested the largest of the islands while building a fort. It was subsequently torn down by an invading force loyal to the formerCount Leras and Countess Ionae. Baroness Ambrosine has taken up the Islands after working out a deal with the Counts of both Emerald Dale and Lion's Reach. It is now known as Barony of the Shadowed Souls.
Districts
To obtain a noble fief or a district, one must have had a formal audience with the 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).
Barony of the Ebon Watchtower
Small forested former barony, now mew, to the south-east of Astral Seas. It was held by the Redcap Ethan Sienna, and currently is held by Baron Marsennio Tordwil ap Gwydion who is working to restore the Watchtower as well as its accompanying stables of chimerical beasts.
Rhapsody Freehold
This domain encompasses the Rhapsody nightclub and its Rath, as well as a small Balefire within its recently rebuilt and refurbished walls. Its surrounding lands also contain the Meadow of the Well, the Blue Boar Inn and Lost in Time Market. In keeping with the terms of its resurrection, the Freehold is held in Guardianship by caretakers Fletcher Potts and Quentin ‘Q’ Oates. Threats to the Balefire are taken seriously and are dealt with by the prismatic-hued Dragon who keeps watch. Market guards may also be called in as backup in severe emergencies, should need and time permit, as sanctioned by Ducal Decree and enforced by those nobles and citizens of Lion's Reach who were witness to said Decree.
Snow Fang Peak
The mountaintop-fortress has recently been re-discovered and re-built as a commoner freehold and Mew. It is currently claimed by Talorc Dunadd, with the caretaker Amberlee overseeing Icepeak Tavern.
Unicorn's Rest Mew
Unicorn's Rest was a Seelie held Commoner Mew in the forest of Southern Prospect, at the edge of the County of Lion’s Reach. It was held and overseen by Thoreau Baumgarten, a Wilder Ghille Dhu, and Felicite Teshi, a Wilder Possum Pooka, but both have wandered off for parts unknown. It is currently being overseen in turn by other Baron's while new caretakers are being looked for.
Unicorn's Rest Mew is different in that rather than ground-level walls and castle, the majority of the keep lies up in the heavy branches of the oldest tree in the Grove. The Grove has always been welcoming to all sorts, so long as they adhere to the Escheat, and do no harm to the forest and creatures of the Dreaming that seek sanctuary at the Grove's Balefire, especially not the adolescent black Unicorn that gives the Mew its name.
Amaanat
A modest desert trading post watched after by the Eshu Keira. It offers support for traveling merchants as well as shops for those wishing to peddle their wares.
