Nacre
The people of the island Lucrum Aurum are particular, secretive and suspicious but also one of the biggest trade hubs in the world they are an oxymoron. Nacre is ruled by those with the Dragon Soul or golden eyed. This differentiation is present in all things in Nacre society. The color of ones eyes dictates clan, profession, marriage, and death on Lucrum. If one lives in the caves or one lives on the surface. The people believe that the eyes is where ones worth is determined and that a soul that can truly change from coal to gold isn't possible, this means that social mobility in Nacre is nonexistent.
Demographics
The Gold Eyes: Proverbial royalty, they run the island and are said to have dragon souls, they live in the palace built into Regiis Mountain. However they are not the smallest class they do occupy all governing jobs.
The Clear Eyed: The clear eyed are the middle class merchants and the like, they are believed to be tough and can also become warriors. They serve as guards and merchants.
The Silver Eyed: Serve just under the gold as religious leaders. They are the smallest population.
The Copper Eyed: Served as lower middle class, small business they are the most commonly seen of the Nacrese as they run the Harbor and they live in its surrounding area.
The Iron Eyed: Warriors and sailers or mine runners or slavers. These people are used as the dirty workers when i comes down to taking a life. The iron eyed are not beloved among the general population and often use sailing to escape the hostility of their home.
The Emerald Eyed: Very rare on Lucrum and only ever perform one job, they make the glow ink. There are only ever three or four on the island at one time.
The Rudy Eyed: Run the forges and smiths.
The Amethyst Eyed: Cutters and crafters of gems and metle as well as fixers.
The Coal Eyed: Lower class they fill many positions as the largest class within them are healers, writers, miners, wears, masons, and all the general jobs.
The Stone Eyed: The lowest of the low the stone eyed are treated like slaves and are known as the class most likely to leave the island given the chance but most of the time the only time the stone eyed ever see the light is the day their eye color is checked.
Government
The Dragon Souled rule between them. There are only ever about a hundred Golden Eyed on the island, every twenty years the seat of power is passed to two new Dragon Souled, one of the Sea and one of the Land. The dragon souled with the brightest eyes are often picked for the next rulers. The sea dragon always has warm gold eyes and the land has cold, these are just distinctions in color but often the eye degrees of color are more important to people then the person themselves. Then the rest of the gold eyed are given other jobs to perform such as ruler of the guard of sea, harbor, Regiis Mountain and so forth and so on. Under a Golden leader is a clear eyed protector and under them are the various class jobs. If the gold eyed ruled a guard on a mine. It would be ruled in order of Gold, Clear, Iron, Coal, Stone with a Silver eye to class to endeavor.
Defences
Lucrum has mostly natural defenses the only man made defense exit as watch towers only the roads and coasts as well as check points and in harbor guards. Lucrum is strictly controlled down to the smallest detail.
Infrastructure
The only large important infrastructure outside the trade harbor are water reclaimers and the forges that both rest deep deep in the mountains with venting to the top. Each forge is run by a golden with a total of nine forges on the island for the nine metal products each specializing in their area. There are only two water reclaimers run by gold bloods as well and they exist far from the natural fresh waters in secret cradors where they boil the water over and over then collect the clean condensation.
