Their Seat is the Small Kingdom and its words are "**We Are Strong**". Founded by **Lord Knight Mustafa Darksky**, who rules as Lord of Tore.

## Origins

After leaving the City of Sienna, his hometown and his family, one of the Six Families of Sienna, Ser Mustafa sailed with his best friend, a sailor of the same city, Abdul Hadi, and both friends travelled across the Vast Skyland Sea to the **Island** called Sternlands. After arriving by **Eastern Coast of Sternlands**, Ser Mustafa and Abdul Hadi travelled to East Town where they came into the service of **Lord Humphrey Smallrich**, the best friend of their mentor, Ser Polos of Fork Town. Serving in Lord Humphrey's household for nearly two years, Ser Mustafa became a known fighter, championing in tourneys and a famous blacksmith of East Town.

In 220 CE, in an outlaw attack on **East Town**, Ser Mustafa lead the vanguard and fought bravely in the skirmish and killed ten outlaw fighters, and by killing the most enemy fighters, Ser Mustafa earned the nickname, "**Mustafa the Savior**", after which he was raised as a Lord Knight by Lord Humphrey Smallrich. Lord Knight Mustafa then became Vice Roy of Saint Justus, a military encampment built by Lord of East Town, **Lord Humphrey Smallrich** to defend East Town better against rebel and outlaw attacks.

Sometime in 222 CE, Lord Knight Mustafa travelled south with his best friend, Abdul Hadi to the **Far South Bay** of Westernlands, docking near the Southport. After arriving, the ship carrying merchants and slaves was attacked by mercenaries, and a small skirmish occurred at the bay, to which the **Flags of House Gulliver** responded with three sloop ships to rescue the merchant ships alongside the ship under **Abdul Hadi** and **Lord Knight Mustafa**. After fighting off the mercenaries, and capturing them, the merchant ships docked at the **Far South Bay of Westernlands** under **Safe Protection of the Crown** under its lesser vassal, House Gulliver. Befriending **Lord Knight Tommas Gulliver**, Lord Knight Mustafa and Abdul Hadi sold their merchant ship and instead bought a sloop ship and a small house near the docks, called Port Tore.

In **Summer of 223 CE**, Port Tore was attacked by pirate mercenaries led under Pirate Captain Elros with two hundred ships. To assist **Port Tore**, Lord of Tore, Lord Tom raised fifty swordsmen, twenty knights, and thirteen ketch ships to defend Port Tore. He was joined by his cousin, Lord of Evermore, Lord Ramsay with his forty knights and forty archers. Two Lord Bishops of Westernlands also arrived with their armies. Lord Bishop of North Western Province, Lord Brynden Pendragon responded with fifty ships, whereas Lord Bishop of The Capital, **Lord Arnold Wellington**, Lord of House Wellington appointed his uncle, **Lord Walder Marsh** in command of his bannermen and his vassal army, counting one hundred men. After the battle, **Pirate Captain Elros** defeated fled with sixty ships to the Long Island, Ally of the **Kingdom of Estonia**. Lord Knight Mustafa successfully killed thirty enemy mercenary fighters singlehandedly in battle, earning the name, "**Mustafa the Brave**", and also defended Lord Tom, Lord of Tore, but he eventually died of injuries few months after. For his bravery in battle and saving the life of **Lord Tom**, Lord Tom with no successor appointed **Lord Knight Mustafa** as his heir.

## Rise to Power
