The Two-Pine clan of the Culbrea is the troublesome southern neighbor of the Red Cow. The Two-Pine are a War Clan. Tribute, raiding, and war supplement meager incomes from farming. Each summer, when farm labors end, the Two-Pine thanes rally men to their banners seeking plunder, service in other’s wars, and tribute.
The Two-Pine’s origins lie in the struggle against the Telmori. The Two-Pine formed from the survivors of the Stonewater and Kortyrling clans, who the Telmori broke in 1463. The remnants formed a War Clan to take the fight to the Telmori, and fought for other clans against the wolfmen in return for coin. The Seven Tributes have their origin in the payments made by clans to the Two-Pine for protection from the Telmori.
After Starbrow's Rebellion, the clan avoided conflict with the neighbors in favor of taking coin for military service in the many conflicts in Dragon Pass. Two-Pine’s thanes even led men in service of the Lunar Empire during the Grazeland campaign of 1615.
The Two-Pine lands are Two-Pine Ridge and the lands to the north of the ridge and south of the Jonstown to Jarolar Keep Road. To the south lies the Lorthing River vale, home of the Culbri and Barlamani clans of the Culbrea. To their west lies the Greenhaft clan, a former Culbrea clan that joined the Cinsina. To their east lies the Lorthing clan, another Culbrea clan. To the north, the Two-Pine’s long border touches another Culbrea turncoat, the Blueberry, along with its old enemy the Red Cow clan.
The Two-Pine’s clan lands are hill-country where the land slopes up from the flatlands of the Cinsina to the Quivin Mountains. It is a harsh land of rocky slopes and steep valleys, little suited to the plow, though the clan keeps sheep.
Their chieftain is Kulbrast Offirson.
