House Wooding
House Wooding is one of the most prosperous and developed houses in the Jakonian Empire. They are also one of the most aggressive and open opponents of the imperial house and the ideas of expansion. They control the Lordship of Poinciana and much of the territories north and east of the halfling communities in the Villages. They possess the largest military forces and arcane knowledge outside of the Imperial City.
Public Agenda
House Wooding stands firmly against the expansion of Imperial Authority and the renewal of the Imperial Regiments. They argue for further decentralization of the empire, claiming that attempts to centralize and dominate is what led to the fall of Jakonia in the first place. Wooding's leadership claims that wealth collection and military formation should be strictly in the hands of the aristocracy and noble castes. They also stand firmly with the Church of the One Sun and advocate for further integration of what remains of the imperial intelligence apparatus into the Fellowship of the Palm.
Assets
House Wooding is the most powerful house in Jakonia, except for possibly the imperial family. They possess fifteen regiments raised up from the Villages and surrounding areas that offer their allegiance to the house alone. These regiments are well equipped and trained, providing the family and nation with an invaluable force against foreign and domestic threats. House Wooding also has rights to taxation upon all Iron Road shipping through Poinciana, which offers plentiful wealth as the city controls commerce with the Kingdom of Orrland. Numerous funds and levies are at the disposal of House Wooding, and they retain the alliance of lords throughout the Nasite territories and Jakonia's heartland.
