Origin
The main Cullom family is from Kilbranba, Carelia.
The region on Kilbranba is a part of the duchy of Strombran and is one of the oldest Carelian lands. Its name is derived from its old name of Kilbranda, given to it by the native tribe which lived here and translates to Red Coast. When it was conquered by the growing power of Carelia the name was adopted, but changed slightly into Kilbranba, although the old name is still used to a lesser extent. This small strip of land was first settled with fisherman and sea raiders. These simple folk lived of the sea, and thus expanded their dominion along the coast. Indeed, in Carelia, the beaches of Kilbranba are in their extent second only to Oyonniarre. This region is dotted with small villages along the length of the coast. The people who live here now are still largely fisherman, and to some extent farmers, for the soil is fertile enough for a coastal region. They are a rugged and hard people, and are a valuable source of warriors, for living of the sea has made them into resourceful, fit and resistant fighters. Kilbranba is commonly considered a backwater region of Carelia. Although it is not far from the capital, there aren't many important roads going through it, with the one exception of the road connecting Scarbran, Kilbranba and Tarkhog. It is also scarcely populated, containing only one major town, which acts as a center of authority for the entire region, and is the seat of power of its Lord.
