Brandt Korbinan von Aschenfeldt
“Can beauty rise form ashes?”
The Learned Lord Rambrandt Korbinan von Rabenturm auf Aschenfeldt
Brandt von Ashenfeldt of Rabenturm, commonly known as Brand von Ashenfeldt was a once-human sorcerer and adventurer from Prausterland who ascended to godhood. Known as the "Ashencrow", the "Erudite Raven" "the Corvid Chronicler" and "Keeper of the Infinite Archive", he is a minor demigod of cartography, magical bloodlines, knowledge, literature and scholars, as well as patron god of the city of Rabenturm auf Ashenfeldt, ravens and sorcerers. The Learned Lord embodied the talents of scribes, sages and the studious, he preached the value of studying and understanding, of seeking new and preserving old knowledge
Although ad demigod, he is a just lesser exarch of Nimblebottom along with many other godlings, quasi-deities, and lesser deities, who was his superior, and thus only served Lord of All Wonder indirectly.
Hence, he had no strong evidence of worship on Urbûn, though as patron god of magical bloodlines, he had earned moderate veneration from sorcerers.
Formerly the once mortal Chosen Archmage and Lord of Rabenturm auf Aschenfeldt , Brandt was granted the status of an exarch as his reward for his greatest deed in life slaying the Archmage of Necromancy, the Lich-Lecturer, Salvador during the Battle of The Alliance of Salvation, thus ending the calamity.

Tenets of Faith
Knowledge, particularly the raw knowledge of ideas, is supreme. An idea has no weight, but it can move mountains. The greatest gift of humankind, an idea outweighs anything made by mortal hands. Knowledge is power and must be used with care, but hiding it away from others is never a good thing. Stifle no new ideas, no matter how false and crazed they seem; rather, let them be heard and considered. Never slay a singer, nor stand by as others do so. Spread knowledge wherever it is prudent to do so. Curb and deny falsehoods, rumor, and deceitful tales whenever you encounter them. Write or copy lore of great value at least once a year and give it away. Sponsor and teach bards, scribes, and record keepers. Spread truth and knowledge so that all folk know more. Never deliver a message falsely or incompletely. Teach reading and writing to those who ask (if your time permits), and charge no fee for the teaching

Personal history
Brandt Korbinan von Ashenfeldt's recorded origins stated that he was born to Volkram Rochus von Ashenfeldt, the late lord of the city Rabenturm auf Ashenfeldt. When asked about his past Brandt calmly replies that he was born in the city of Ravenhill also known as the forge of Preamor. It suffered a dragon attack and Brandt was the only child that survived. Though others supposedly survived, no one knows for sure. His aunt and uncle Evelyn Ravenshadow and Albert Ravenshadow from the nearby village, Blackburn, found him amidst the burning rumble. They adopted him as an infant a raised him as their very own. He began his studies of the arcane arts in the town of Weaselton at the age of 14. Cedrick was his truthful and patient master. While in training he met a fellow student, Lorien Greenleaf. They became friends, best friends and then soulmates and lovers. They secretly became married in his fifth year, he practiced his innate powers for three more years until he gained near to full control of his powers and therefore he ended his training. Lorien and Brand departed ways after a hefty discussion, which he feels guilty for. Lorien left and they have not spoken since. He travelled for the lands for 3 years as a hermit. When he was 22 he meet a monk from the temple of the hand; Michael "the unbroken"Evergreen Jojima. Together they went on many adventures. They established themselves as an adveturing party under then name, Bounty Force. they tracked down the man resposible for the mage-murders, realising that their nemesis was no ordinary adversary, it was Salvador Bronson! together with the help of Davos Goldfyre, Berk Mountainborn, Derek Wildman and Kathlín Wyntrsolv Borgrimsdottir. They ended the calamity and killed Salvador. His ascension to godhood came through his famous deeds: the successful, and profound near-sacrificial confrontation and slaying of Salvador and later founding of Ashfield's Academy for Heroics. For these accomplishments and devotion to his patron he earned sponsorship to demi-divinity by Nimbelbottom and the undying enmity of Salvador following the The Undying Reaper's return.
As a Demigod
As a mortal man, Brandt was hungry for knowledge of all matters arcane, and in his search for it he studied several ancient archmages and mastery in the field of draconology in the hope of finding forgotten magical secrets. Eventually his dedication lead to him being granted the title of Learned Lord, the first of his kind, recognized by Nimbelbottom as his most promising mortal pupil. At some point, after the events of the Calamity, in the Year of The New Dawn, 1 PC Brandt became an exarch of his patron Nimblebottom.Gender Identity

Mental Trauma
Brand had a deep loathing for his fire abilities, which he got unexpectedly from the dragon Ratan, as it symbolized the dragon's destrucive power towards Ravenhill and his mother as well as what he was born to be: a living reminder of the tragedy that happened there, a reputation that he detested. As such, Brand decided to rely solely on his freezing power and never use his fire in battles, going so far as to deplete his ice power before using his fire to symbolize his rebellion against Ratan. Brand often felt bothered by Ratan's mere existence, and could barely contain his anger while talking about him, especially whenever people brought up the death of his mother.
