History
Founded as a port settlement by Kaspar von Uelzen during the reign of King Hinrick following its sister city of Uelzen to the south. The small port slowly grew to a size equal to that of the trade hub of Uelzen, with which it supplied goods via the Ilmenau river. House Uelzen’s leader, Johan von Uelzen, pledged his loyalty to the Betrayer King Frederic during the Sack of Berlin (1056AS). His heir Ector however, was loyal to Crown Prince Gustav, betraying his Father and seizing the City of Uetze and facilitating the landing of Wolf forces loyal to Gustav (1086AS). King Gustav II, bequeathed Ector the title of von Uetzen as a reward, giving him claim to the lands surrounding the port City and denying his Fathers most vital trade route.
Since then the Houses of Uetzen and the neighbouring House of Uelzen have fostered a bitter animosity, though they have a shared heritage, arguing over tariffs and trade on the inland routes they both require for commercial success. The land itself has been untouched by both the Python War and Sable’s forces as their people work hard to supply food to the famished Nation. Moreover, the rise of Sable has led to a lessening of the Houses ire towards one another, as the new Lord Fridolf Uetzen and Lord Kaspar Uelzen III found a kinship as they led their militia against Sables forces.
