The Sapphire Collective
After the reemergence those with adventurous hearts quickly found their ways back to Creucanoth in search of new wonders until recently thought lost to the modern world. Scholars were giddy at the thought of exploring civilizations lost to time and within five years Creucanoth had once again gained its footing as the upper echelon of society.
With the growth of the city the 3 great houses decided to band together to create a de facto leadership with their immense wealth and power.
House Highfire: Nobel Humans from Volaire’s ruling class and distant cousins to the Volarian Monarchy. House Highfire controls the Airship yards to the south of the city and enforcing taxes and tariffs on any goods that are transported in or out of Creucanoth. The current matriarch of the family is Geeta Highfire.
House Jouvelle: Two Elven brothers, Highlords from the Elven stronghold of Ullsbelle hidden in the deep north of Iomis. House Jouvelle provides the coin and arms for the military of Swancall and the surrounding area, though their true commerce is the gathering and distribution of secrets. Galareon and Aymon Jouvelle continue to sit at the head of their house seats.
“There is no greater income than that built on the backs of the devout.” - Aymon Jouvelle
House Strombeard: The Usurper Monarch having once held the crown of Torrahelm in his grasp Dowlish Strombeard. Was ousted from his position of power and banished as the true king Dag Leadjaw reclaimed the throne that was stolen from his father. In his banishment Strombeard led a group of dwarves to Creucanoth in hopes of finding a new home. House Strombeard owns the ore mines that run deep beneath Canavale Mountain and have built a vast empire of jewels, ore and coal all while guiding the prices of these goods around the globe. The current Leader of the house is Vormund Strombeard.
