Braxton ShoreSun
Braxton ShoreSun, born as the second child of Lord Kevan ShoreSun, experienced a rather idyllic childhood amidst the serene and sun-kissed shores of TornTide. Raised in the lap of luxury and surrounded by the gentle rhythms of the ocean, Braxton developed a deep and abiding love for the sea from a very young age. The vast azure waters, the sound of the waves, and the vibrant marine life became an integral part of his formative years. He was a free spirit, an adept swimmer, and a skilled sailor.
However, the course of Braxton's life took a dramatic turn when, as part of a strategic political alliance, he was betrothed to Melinda Redleaf, the Lady of the WestWood. This arranged marriage was designed to cement an important connection between House ShoreSun and House Redleaf, consolidating power and influence within the StormClaw Empire.
For Braxton, the transition from the coastal paradise of TornTide to the inland duchy of WestWood was nothing short of agonizing. Gone were the endless horizons of the sea, the salty air that filled his lungs, and the soothing sounds of the waves crashing against the shore. Instead, he found himself surrounded by dense woodlands, where the rustling leaves offered a stark contrast to the ceaseless motion of the sea.
In the 287 years since his marriage to Melinda Redleaf, Braxton has struggled with a profound sense of loss and longing. He often gazes wistfully at paintings and sculptures of the ocean, reminiscing about his carefree days on the beach. Despite his duties and responsibilities as a member of House Redleaf, his heart remains tethered to the distant waves of TornTide, and the memory of the ocean's embrace continues to haunt him.
