"Although I was not born into nobility and my birth may be surrounded by vile rumors, I have ascended through my loyalty and dedication. My power and influence do not come from my bloodline, but from my own merit. House Teare is worthy not because we are a traditional Caorrani Clan, but for our passion to protect our homeland and our willingness to sacrifice anything to keep Caorran whole." - Count Alasdair
House Teare was founded by Alasdair Teare, believed to be a bastard half-brother of King Eoghan I. He served the Gallaran Court as a Knight before getting rulership over the Western lands of the Duchy, and The Bright Custodians as a Constable of the Bright.
His daughter, Saoirse Cousland Teare, unified the Baronies of Tharfairge and The North Reach into the County of The Western Baronies.
