Tain family

The Tains are a Ferrarian noble family that rule the Brumanix mountains. They fought a fiercesome war against Ferran the Miner with their allies the Gryphon Lords, almost crushing burgeoning kingdom. However, Ferran decided to marry one of the Gryphon Lords, spliting the alliance and ending the war. Without allies, the Tains bowed down to Ferran and accepted his dominance. The Tains were allowed to control part of the region, and the Gryphon Lords the other half. However, after years of political engineering, the Tains controlled most of the region and had made the Gryphon Lords their thassals. The head of the Tains serves as the Lord of Brass, the Decarch of the region.
