Braedonnal Tuare
Commander of the troops of Tuornen
Bloodline: Basaia, major, 38 Other: Specialized with long sword Braedonnal earned his nicknames, Hotspur and Firebrand, long before he won his sword (which he named Firebrand) in battle during Tuornen's secession from Alamie. Indeed, there are those who swear that the now-famous weapon draws fuel from the elf commander's hatred of his wicked kinsman, Rhuobhe Manslayer. Others whisper their fear that Braedonnal's well-known enmity with the awnshegh merely fronts his own disdain for the humans with whom he lives. In Braedonnal's 100 years serving the duchy, however, no one has proven him anything but a loyal defender of the land.
The most prominent member of the Militant Order of Cuiraecen, Braedonnal often clashes with Rhobher Nichaleir and other proponents of the Western Imperial Temple of Azimir. Nichaleir protests that any strong military action against either Rhuobhe or Alamie would begin a war that could decimate Tuornen. Braedonnal believes that the people of Tuornen will never be free until the threats of the Elf and Carilon Alam are eliminated for good. Hotspur would especially love to lead an army through Clearwater Pass to raze Tower Ruannoch to the ground.
While he has served as the single most important lieutenant to each of Tuornen's past regents, Braedonnal has become perhaps too popular. Should he ever break with the current regent, many Tuors might pledge loyalty to him rather than to the rightful ruler. Coupled with his tendency to disobey the letter of the law, Braedonnal, if provoked, could prove dangerous for whomever rules the domain.
