Branduan

Branduan Renathsson - Initiate of Desemborth and Lanbril

Branduan is a thief of the Amad tribe, who range through the most perilous region of Sartar. They have always been surrounded by terrible enemies, and yet have managed to maintain their Orlanthi lifestyle and have established villages and one city, the citadel of Alone. The Amad have to learn many different forms of individual combat simply to survive, since they have Trolls to the north and east, giants and chaos to the north and west, undead to the south, werewolves to the south west, and all of this before the Lunar empire is even considered.This combines to create a fiercely independent tribe who trust few but their own in a situation of mortal peril. Branduan was a member of his family thief gang, making a living within the citadel of Alone. A few months ago, the city was secretly invested by Lunar backed, Gagarth worshipping members of the Vantaros tribe who had taken control of Alda-Chur a few years before. The gates were laid open by the windwalking huskarls of King Harvar Ironfist and the city taken from within and without. In the purges that followed, the Ortossi clan was all but destroyed, only Branduan and his older brother surviving. You both sought refuge in Jonstown where you took vows to Orlanth and swore vengeance on the Vantaros.

The Death of Branduan...

Branduan was executed alongside his brother on the order of King Glyptus of Elkoi.

Branduan was a reckless man, who would stop at nothing for self gain. Perhaps this was driven by his lust for revenge, but at one point he did the unthinkable and knowingly took possession of a chaotic crystal that Orstanor had cast aside.

It was this selfish act that led to Orstanor nearly dying at the hands of a group of Uroxi warriors and he bears the scars of their scourge evermore.

Branduan showed little real remorse, and his head now sits atop a spike alongside his brother, far from home and forgotten by his fellows...
