Plague Lord Braul, of Faila Ranae, Winter's Edge
”I’ll never be the best, but at least I try.” - Braul
Biography
Born in the Kingdom of Tal Dagore, Braul of the Lost Creek tribe, has never settled into a location or career for long. Braul was raised along the farms of rural Tal Dagore where he roamed the woodlands and small hills of his clan’s holdings. It wasn’t uncommon to find him following a creek, picking blackberries, and practicing with combat simulators. Braul trained under the artist Epp, learning about mixing pigments and how to apply them on multiple forms of media.
As a young adult, Braul was wed and had two children. They moved further north, into the Kingdom of the Rising Winds. The winters were much colder, the summers were much hotter. Braul retrained from artist to rat catcher, a job that was much more in demand. As a rat catcher, Braul flourished. His youth of hunting and his artist’s eye for detail helped him excel at finding the locations of plague roaches and dire rats. Many days he would return home covered in blood, sludge, and monster bait. It was a hard existence, but one he reluctantly performed.
Braul’s family moved from the frozen north to the Winter's Edge when the Machine Gnomes requested assistance from his wife, where she forged parts for their arcane machines. Braul was at a loss as to what he should do. There, he eventually found the Shire of Faila Ranae. With a few moons of training, Braul took to fighting with a javelin and short sword. He became Regent to the area. And then the plague settled in. Forced to his bed with a rattling cough, Braul went back to his original training and began practicing art and encouraging others to do so as well.
After a lengthy rest due to illness, Braul returned to Faila Ranae's battlefields for practice. Weakened by his illness, he was in no shape for the physicality of melee combat. When the pirates of Buccaneer’s Respite invaded the river valley, Braul manned the cannons with his daughter, the Murder Goblin, and helped sink Captain Bloodbeard's ship. From there he took up his bow and fired on pirate invaders, trying to hold them at bay. Though the invading pirates managed to beat back the Imperial Navy, with no ship they had no escape. Coming off the successful campaign, Braul followed Baron Frank Avilia's mentorship and ran for the office of Sheriff on a platform of gathering more people into Faila Ranae's flock.
