Valken County is to be a prime agricultural center in the Duchy of Seidrellia. While the main vision I have for the county is to seed and breed (farm and ranch) I also see it as a place for trade-folk that support or are supported by agriculture, bakers, brewers, cheesemakers, butchers, bee keepers, candle makers are just a few examples of the kind of trades I see prospering in Valken County.
Our role in the Seidrellia will be to supply the duchy with provisions for the baronies. Taxes may be paid in crops instead of coin. Taxes will be kept as low as possible to maintain order and infrastructure. County laws will not be made solely by me but with input from the mayors and organization leaders that call the county home.
To further increase the prosperity of the county, Valken will be a founding member of the Crosswind Trade Exchange an organization designed to not only promote trade but improve the infrastructure of member counties and major trade routes. The county seat, Valkenburg, will be home to an Exchange Office. The Exchange Office will be a one stop shop for buying and selling of goods abroad, mercenary and caravan services, as well as scribe services. If your Guild is part of the exchange you will receive a discount on Exchange services.
The County will also be the home base of the Elyrian Spirit Producers (E.S.P.) guild. A guild devoted to those who craft beverages that quench the thirst and soothe the souls of Mann.
