About Bort[]
Bort is one of the five major continental regions of the planet Sark. Ruled by a Great Squire known for his uncouth, aggressive, and direct manner, the continent of Bort represented a faction that chafed under the traditional council system. The Squire of Bort resented being frequently outvoted by the others, which prevented him from governing his territories with the authoritarian style he desired. He was a vocal opponent of Squire Fife's attempts to end continental autonomy and unite Sark, viewing it as a treasonous power grab. During the crisis, Bort was a significant figure suspected by others of potentially being the traitor due to his harsh temperament and ambitions.
