Ecology
A rare species of boar was discovered roaming the Iron Shores of Ossirion in UE 893. Captured by Dwarven explorers and brought back to Nin by
Tamworth Ironmane (the grandfather of
Saijak Ironmane current owner of
the Iron Boar). The boar was then bred for multiple generations for both size and flavor. Realizing the value of the boar
Tamworth and his sister & business partner
Oani Ironmane returned to the Iron Shores and captured more than 300 boars over the next 2 years, shifting both the natural habitat of the Iron Boar from Ossirion to Nin and making the boar an entirely domesticated species. A highly social animal, the Tamworth Boar are known to roam the pastures of nin in packs of 3-4, and can be territorial when challenged.
Taxonomy
Standing between 8-9 feet tall, and around 850 lbs when fully grown and now known as the Tamworth Iron Boar, the fully domesticated animal is considered a delicacy in the south. On average a live gelded Tamworth boar sells for 500 GP. The value of the Tamworth Boar farm rivals that of the richest Dwarven families and for that reason, the farm keeps armed guards on staff at all hours, though the last person who attempted to steal a boar received the business end of tusk and a 3-week stay in the
Burning Spirit Hospital.
