Bairg Family

The Bairgs are common throughout the Mir Valley, and are notorious and untrustworthy. The Bairgs are, in general, rude, violent, petty-thieves, gamblers or just plain ‘common-as-muck.’ Although this isn’t true of all, the Bairgs do generally tend towards swindling, and most are poor. The Bairgs have lived in the Valley for generations, and are extremely numerous. Many of the farms are owned by Bairgs, and every village in the valley has at least one of these undesirable fellows. Citizens of the Mir Valley often make jokes about them, and comments of incest and buggery are common. The average Bairg family consists of as many as 10 children, and numerous cousins; so though they are very poor, they have a large network. Though there are many family feuds, all Bairgs will gang together when they feel slighted by other families. Most people fear the Bairgs.
The most notorious of recent years was Cigfa Bairg, the oldest of the family, and unofficial matriarch. She lived alone in Doromir , and was feared for her acid-tongue and general cruelty. Cigfa controlled the Bairgs dealings for many decades, until she died recently at the grand age of 97. Her 6 daughters, 5 sons and 26 cousins are still vying for control, and many feuds have since started. The most likely candidate is Taim, Cigfa’s youngest (and disowned) son, who has managed to acquire great wealth (and has a deep hatred for Grendel ).
