Cliffs District

Cliffs District
The district of women...

The district is isolated by its own geography and a massive curtain wall. The people rarely participate in the politics of Filthy men. Near one hundred and fifty years ago, the Cliffs’ arrogant Duke had instituted a law whereupon any male lord could ravish any unmarried common woman upon demand, so long as he did not impregnate her, the penalty for which was twenty gold coins. The act itself was to be considered “an honor” for the women, he’d declared. The common women of the Cliffs didn’t see much honor in rutting with arrogant lords, and they rose to take the district, ejecting the men. But not just the lords. All of them. Some women fled with their husbands and sons, but enough stayed to claim the powerful district as their own. When a contingent of the best soldiers from the neighboring Salt District invaded with expelled Cliff men to try to take it back, they were  defeated, castrated, and dumped outside the wall. A district’s internal affairs are its own, and so the Cliffs has been left to the women for more than one hundred years.

There are those who called it the Cunny District, but they are bold and few, and do not do so within twenty paces of its wall. There are stories of men who wandered too close or tried to sneak in, imagining virgins eagerly awaiting male company. The stories said those men went missing. Some say the Cliff women kidnapped interlopers for pleasure and breeding. But as tempting as the theory is, only a few randy, drunken men test it from time to time, and they are never seen again.

Quotes
“Duke Steel was a bold man and couldn’t let the Cliff Duchess pass without a comment.

‘When are you going to let some good Steel men in to service those maidens of yours, cunny?’

‘When I need you men’s balls, I will come for them,’ she said, and she walked on toward her chair without breaking stride. ‘Until then, peace among us.’”
