Earldom of Bear's Grasp

The Earldom of Bear's Grasp, also known as the "Belt of the Bite" or the Muzzle, was a large earldom within the The Bite that spanned from the Barony of Shorfall to the Barony of Graston, forming a sort of barrier of power for the House of Cobalstant to control the Bite. Ruled by the lords of the Viscounty of the Fang exclusively, it was a constant source of Cobalstant authority until their eventual demise. The Earldom was disbanded under Haverin Grayblade who intended to dismantle the extremely centralized power of the Bite (namely due to the inability to run near half of the entire region alone) for a more favorable distributed form. This was never seen to fruition due to the destruction of Bannhurst. Though it no longer exists in name, the Muzzle can still be seen to partially exist under Haverin's son Berenal Grayblade, who has yet to re-delegate the various lands that once made up the region.
