Baker District

Baker District
The district of food...

Duke Baker has not left his tower for five full seasons. The rotund duke says, "Rats are scurrying! Stables hates me, you know." And Duke Stables hates him with good reason; the ''False Horse Duel. ''Everyone knows of the infamous duel that led to Stables' very public shame and the death of his son Sirius. When Stables' second son Sirius lost the affection of a girl to Garret Cook, a noble from the Baker District, he challenged Garret to a duel and won, killing the boy. After, Madigan Slang of the Filthy Watch investigated the duel and found that Sirius had illegally worn armor, and sawed Garret's weapon in half. He had cheated, and the crime was punishable by death. A fair and honest ruler, Baker condemned Sirius to execution. Stables has hated him ever since. Shortly after, Baker was almost killed by a falling rock, a hidden pit and poisoned food. Out of fear of rats hired by Stables, Baker imprisoned himself in his palace, The Bakery.

Quote
"The food tasted as grand as it looked, although, at Baker's insistence, everything on Glass's platter had a bite taken out of it by a nervous servant before he was permitted to eat it. Baker didn't want war, but he wouldn't leave the Bakery to the next gathering and vote against it."
