Aurumsmark Isles

Composition of Nobility
The Aurumsmark Isles are consolidated to assemble the Duchy of Aurumsmark and Her Territories. The Duchy is seated by Duke Galmone I of Aurumsmark and convened by the following nobles:
 * Executor and Lord-Steward Baldassar Partiger of House Aspera
 * Marquess and Marquis Tamora & Ailardan Grenn of New Southshore Isle
 * Count Flonz Steelbarrow of Aurumsmark Bay
 * Viscount Karstan Stonehill of Aurumswatch Keep

Economy and Landscape of Aurumsmark
There are seven isles fragmented isles surrounding the predominant one, each already scoured and resourced by the Duchy of Aurumsmark. The gold rich ground, petrol rich ground and direcy shipping access to both mainland Eastern Kingdoms and to the various neutral coal magnates of the mid-seas gave Aurumsmark a diverse trade-sphere and a cornerstone position in the gold and petrolium market, both refined and crude. What began as a crude petrolium colony founded by House Aurum was transformed under the control of Duke Galmone I, undercutting the Goblin System's oil market by both pumping and refining their own petrolium. With a political monopoly working against goblin-gnomish trade, Galmone attached immense trade to the Kingdom of Ironforge and the Satellite Governance of Gnomeragan.

It was not until the Duke had evacuated his indiginous lands of western Hillsbrad, joined by his citizenry, that he had the manpower to develop his gold mining empire. While it was common knowledge that gold was rich in Aurumsmark (so rich it could be panned in the various rivers) it was only then, as Galmone industrialised the only other enterprise in his portfolio that he saw immense results. With the namesake of the isles fulfilled, their noble population continues to find hidden treasures; both under the ground and above it.
