Cantrev Brenig is a County in the Principality of Clwyd.
Overview[]
This cantrev is the western portion of the Land of Two Valleys, smaller and less populated than its neighboring vale, Cantrev Gwrly. This land of Countess Angharad's stretches from the Clwyd Mountains west toward Gwynedd and north to the coast of the Irish Sea. The southern boundary falls where the River Clwyd turns north towards Llyn Brenig. This tiny bit of land in the south along with certain territories near the River Dee are hotly disputed territories. More than once, the loyal retainers of Clwyd's two ladies have come to blows on the lonely plains near the banks of the Dee.
Comital Freehold[]
Caer Brenig is the comital freehold of the cantrev.
Moel Arthur[]
An unmarked grave at the base of the Moel Arthur hill in the Principality of Clwyd contains the bones of some unknown hero, along with an iron-bound chest of treasure. Locals speculate this may be the resting place of Boudicca or even Arthur himself. Many have reported seeing a gray lady appear in moonlight or during fierce storms; one man even told a tale of receiving peas from the mysterious woman that turned to gold at dawn.
Wrexham[]
The city of Wrexham is home to the Iron Stag pub, a normal enough looking place on the outside. Inside, however, is a haven for some rough characters.
