It was in those early years of the Industrial Revolution, before the American Civil War, that The Providence took shape in Clabberton. Certain families of note and/or wealth and/or ability relocated to Clabberton in these years. Some say it was simple coincidence, some say it was by design, but these families of distinction did all, one by one, ally themselves with Bladdernut. There was Fendrenger from the west, Crowberry from the north, Twermbly from the south, and all four came to be known collectively as The Providence.
