-====== Tor Brant ======
-The Stronghold of Tor Brant is located in the Barony of [[branches:barony:skraeling_althing|Skraeling Althing]] and claims the lands of Renfrew County, including Pembroke.
-===== Origin of the Name =====
-The name Tor Brant comes from the Scots-Gaelic "Tor", meaning hill, and the germanic "Brant", meaning sword. Tor Brant thus means "The Hill of Swords". In the early days of the Stronghold, there was a close relationship with the local Canadian Forces Base that was home to the 2nd Special Service Force (SSF), which used a winged dagger as part of the Brigade patch. The name is a tribute to that relationship.
-Tor Brant's device is said to be a depiction of the local climate: The chief represents a snow storm, while the white field is just that - a white field. The dragon in the center harkens back to the time when Tor Brant was part of the Middle Kingdom; This means that the arms of Tor Brant are basically a black furry dragon out for a walk in a snow storm.
-===== History =====
-Tor Brant was founded in A.S. 25 as the Canton of Tor Brant.
