The Belvion Union was a cluster of cities and towns joined together for common benefit, like the Isise.
Sadly, the Family that ruled over the lands where these settlements nested was incompetent and preferred not to do anything but continue to demand coin as tribute without committing to the social responsibility.
As alluded to before, in order to at least facilitate the delivery of the people's basic needs, a noble by name Dionas had risen to govern the Belvion Union, controlling the coin generated through all small to large transactional mediums. He managed to achieve the bare minimum of what was required to keep people alive and somewhat well, which earned him a lot of following.
