Clay District

Clay District
The muddy district...

“The Clay District is little more than a muddy hillside—inconsequential really—yet the Clay brothers have been fighting over it ferociously since the death of their mother. They are twins, and their parents had decided not to mark the first-born. Instead of leading to fair and equal treatment, however, the lack of clarity in the ascension has led to a lifelong dispute between them. Now one is holed up in Clay Castle, a sagging brick affair at the north end of the district, and the other holds the Muddy Keep in the southeast. The districts citizens rally to whichever self-declared duke feeds them, for the Clay District is poor and landlocked, too far from the Queen’s Fork to have sufficient access to fresh water, too far from the sea to trade effectively. Most of its people had migrated to other districts. The twins’ mother had kept the coffers from running dry through a close relationship with the wealthier Duke Stone in the adjacent district, though she refused to marry him and merge her ancestral district with his. But she is dead now, and her boys can’t rely on Stone for his support.”

Quotes
“As Glass feared, Clay had already been bought. After declaring his support for the invasion of Strata, the newly anointed Duke Clay invited Glass to sit at a grand oaken banquet table Duke Carpenter had given him and to eat with his new Steel Cutlery...Glass also noticed new draperies on the windows. The best Garment artisans had to offer.”
