But during the Dagda and Brigid War of Imperial Year 1175, House Nuvelle failed to prevent the invading armies of Dagda and Brigid from reaching shore, due to their lack of strong relationships between the other main Houses, which ultimately resulted in their downfall.
The Barony of Ochs occupies the northern half of the western peninsula known as Fódlan's Fangs. To the north lies the County of Nuvelle, and to the south lies the County of Hevring.
The County of Varley lies just south of Garreg Mach Monastery and the Oghma Mountains, and is adjacent to the County of Bergliez. It is an unusually arid region compared to the rest of the Empire, and produces armor and weapons using resources extracted from the mountains.
