The Broken Teeth

The Broken Teeth is one of The Twenty Realms, south of Bymead, north of Berrowmalley and west of The Goldlands. It is presided over by House Norclyffe.

History
House Norclyffe succeeded the Mountain Kings as lords over The Broken Teeth, uniting the realm for the first time ever. Since then however, it has been quite trivial the pursuit of the various lords to work together, as each works for his house and his house alone when possible.

Therefore House Norclyffe has gained a poor reputation for being unreliable, due to their vassals constantly bickering and squabbling over what course of action to proceed with. Despite this, the folk of The Broken Teeth are a hardy and experienced folk in the art of warfare due to their history warring amongst themselves.

Geography
The Broken Teeth is practically all covered in high reaching mountains that have the appearance of being crooked and uneven, with large cracks in their sides and along their veins, like their namesake; broken teeth. The Broken Teeth are arid and dusty, with muddled air earthy around the sparse vegetation that grows so high up. The capital of The Broken Teeth is Norclyffe, the ancestral seat of House Norclyffe.

Culture
The Broken Teeth used to be squabbled over by various warlords who called themselves Mountain Kings. It wasn't until the invasion of King Cyvil Rand that The Broken Teeth were finally united under one lord and one house, this house being that of Norclyffe.

The Mountain Kings of old have since evolved into various vassal houses with their own lords, each sworn to Norclyffe but ultimately serving their own ends. The influence of the Mountain Kings has maintained throughout the years, with such practices as The God Burning and The Cliffchild Ceremony still being practiced (the latter in secret).
