The Echelon are the 'new age' of noble houses. House leaders are given a title and a role within the governing body of Nouvelle.
IC:
The Houses control various resources vital to the economy of not only Nouvelle, but the region of Brasswood as well. Each House is given control of a specific region by the Governor after the House is recognized. The Viscount and/or Viscountess must agree to ensure the resource they are given charge over meets production each month and understand they have taxes to pay. The Baron/Baroness assist in managing the region as assigned by the Viscount/Viscountess.
The regions are as follows:
Galad: The region contains iron ore needed to build and maintain ships, trains, and various buildings.
Ethir: This region is home to the rare element of electrium used to mint tholar, the currency of Brasswood.
Talath: A desert type region of quartz sand, the sought after ingredient in making glass including the finest glassware and china.
Pravan: A forest region filled with black walnut trees that produce a vast amount of walnuts and prized wood for building.
