The Awards
The Province Conference, which took place in each administrative subdivision of Leopoldine, benefited the families with the best results, that is, with the most significant future potential.
But there were not always new benefits. On the contrary, on many occasions, what was part of the prizes in these competitions were already explored lands, items, or advantages.
Regarding land, this meant that most of the time, the land was just reallocated to new families. In other words, they were not new areas of exploitation given by the imperial family to its vassals. An example is the Frost family's mines. This organization could lose part of its possessions if it ended badly in this competition.
Thus, it was unusual that this competition brought new benefits in terms of exploration areas to the best-placed organizations.
