Cragmoore

The Cragmoore is a region within The Sarriahn Dynasty which changed hands more than a dozen times during the course of The Pig War. It is a fertile region with a population made up of equally of subjects claiming Sarriahn heritage, the Moorites, and Keelorian background, Keelorians, making it a constant flashpoint for violence in The Tripartite Kingdoms.

The capital of The Cragmoore is called Foxknoll or Vilturn, depending on who you speak to.

Before The Pig War
For almost a century before the conflict began, the Morrill household held sway over The Cragmoore. The household was instrumental in bringing The Empire of Keelor into the larger conflict by sending skirmishing sorties over the border to The Sarriahn Dynasty.

The Morrill household was viewed suspiciously by many in The Cragmoore because of their penchant for levying taxes to fund further conflict even when the kingdoms involved were trying to come to an agreement or truce. It was this disposition that popularized the notion of depicting them as The Tiger, ready to bare her teeth at any sleight, real or imagined, a symbol the Morrill household eventually embraced as part of their sigil.

The Cragmoore Freestate
Eventually, the Morill household was overthrown by a combination of Sarriahn sympathizers, war-weary Keelorians, and the power of the Ipswitch household. The Knights of Ipswitch had served the Morrill household loyally for more than a century when they finally broke ties, styling themselves the new Lords of Cragmoore.

Over time, it became expedient for The Sarriahn Dynasty to deny they were helping the Knights of Ipswitch in their conflict against the Morrill household, but they did not wish to be married to the Empire of Keelor either. In a secret meeting of the lesser lords of The Cragmoore, the Knights of Ipswitch declared their leader, Sir Zander Ipswitch, the Leige of Cragmoore.

The Pig War's Outcome
The Truce of Wheelaris formalized that the Cragmoore Freestate was to cease its existence and join The Sarriahn Dynasty, a proposal made by the Knights of Ipswitch and accepted by the truce council.

Today, the Morrill household claims to be Lords-in-Exile of The Cragmoore, previously led by Sir Gannett Morill who was killed on The Drypass by adventurers belonging to The Iron Company.
