Description:
The Redden are a notable family, and claimaint to Tyria's throne. The Redden are a family of little amnesty or pardon, even to their own; it is said that the king's male bastard children are thrown from mountain peaks during infancy to prevent disputes of the throne. Their power is held in the high peaks of the West edge of Western Tyria, and grown in the fields below them. They control the most fertile land in all of Tyria and supply much of the crops used to fed the other Tyrian Houses, for this reason they are feared. While war is not uncommon between Tyrian claimants, to challenge the Redden in warfare is to starve your own people. The Redden are a family of honor and discipline, but perhaps not so excessively as are the Tyr. The mountainous terrain they rule from is among the most defendable in all of Norrik, none have ever succesfully sieged their capital city of Epochia without staggering loss. Their house is notable for having a much smaller standing army than those of most other Tyrian claimants, having no fear of the constant war that plagues many of their brethren houses. The Mithyr seek to open trade between themselves and the Redden through Venilaen land, but such a prospect is not yet viable. The Redden seek new options of alliance and trade beyond the sphere of Tyrian influence, and have done much to repair a long broken relationship with the Northern Dwarves they border.
