Leonas Bryland

Leonas Bryland is the Arl of South Reach and father to Habren. 
== Background ==
Despite being half-Orlesian,Mentioned as "half-blood" by Bann Ceorlic. This is also mentioned in the toolset. he joined the rebel cause under Prince Maric during the Orlesian occupation of Ferelden. He fought for the Army of the North under Bann Angus Eremon alongside his friends Bryce Cousland and Rendon Howe, taking part in the Battle of the White River, the most catastrophic defeat of the entire occupation from which only fifty rebel soldiers escaped. 
During the battle, Rendon was gravely wounded and had to be dragged off the field by Bryce and Leonas. When Bann Angus finally sounded the retreat, they carried their injured friend to a freehold in Redcliffe and stayed with him for nearly a month while the other survivors left to find the Army of the South. When Bryce and Leonas finally rejoined with the army, making the journey on foot, Prince Maric personally awarded them medals of valor. Rendon remained in South Reach, being tended by Leonas' sister, Eliane, a talented physician and herbalist. 
When Rendon was made Arl of Amaranthine, Eliane traveled with him; he proposed to her after a year. Leonas had become concerned by the changes in his friend's behavior since the battle and tried to prevent the marriage. When Howe told him that he needed Eliane for her dowry and connections, he severed all contact with Howe and his sister and refused to witness their vows.
