House of Holdings
The House of Holdings is the governing body of Holdings and is led by the Hoyu family. The House of Holdings is made up of one representative from each of the major sectors: The Architect’s League, The Blood Trust, and The Agricultural Cooperative and the current leader of the Hoyu family. Only the Hoyu representative has oversight across all sectors to ensure that the needs of all are being met.
The Architect’s League
The Architect’s League, based in Gloamlight Redoubt, is an organization that deals with the full spectrum of construction and architecture. All members are expected to excel in at least one of three areas of construction: Production, Design, or Creation. Production is defined as the systems needed to acquire the resources for construction. Design is defined as the systems and professions needed to develop the designs of all buildings. Creation is the cooperative branch of the Architect’s League that ensures that the physical construction needs of the buildings are met. This organization has a single permanent representative to ensure that their needs are met.
The Blood Trust
The Blood Trust is the cornerstone of the County of Holdings. Built by the Hoyu family following the Searing Plague, this banking clan began as a wandering merchant train, grew to an expansive system of economists and financieers, and finally settled in Duskholm under the invitation of Sellayne Darkholm. The blood trust has a permanent representative in the House of Holdings to ensure that their needs are met. All areas of economic research and financial progress are made through this organization.
The Agricultural Cooperative
The Agricultural Cooperative is a loose grouping of all the citizens of Holdings that are working in the farming sector. This Cooperative has a permanent representative in the House of Holdings to ensure that their needs are met. Every area of farming is welcomed and researched to better serve the citizens of Holdings, and their allies.
