Braerk

The village in which the party first met - and where Sir Cagrun took command.

Initial info: As the weeks passed, it became obvious to all that the Elves were not planning an immediate attack on Braerk and so Glagdan, the village mayor, began trying to impose a semblance of organisation. All able-bodied refugees were conscripted into the village militia, work parties were organised and rough defences began to take shape. Although, this did give a focus and to a certain degree a sense of purpose, Glagdan was obviously well out of his depth in terms of any form of military knowledge. Still by the time of the January snows, the village did at least now have a wooden stockade fence surrounding it, and everyone in the “militia” was armed with at a spear and rough hide shield – no matter what their ability to use such armament was.

## Residents or arrivals at Braerk

### Aerin

A possibly troublesome civilian.

In the main hall, Cagrun, Glagdan and another civilian are having a heated discussion – which quietens quickly as you enter.

Cagrun: “Right, Glagdan, Aerin – we will finish this discussion later.”

Glagdan: “Sir, I believe we have the right to hear what these scouts have to say.”

Cagrun: “And you will, but first I want to hear how things stand and that is a military matter.”

Glagdan and Aerin, leave the hall but are obviously more than a little put out.

### Bradark Glitterhelm

Ex-army militiman in charge of the militia who accompanied the party on the Kobald hunt.

Bradark is a middle aged Dwarf, openly friendly to the party, the two squads of eight militiamen, primarily human, that he has drafted are all equipped with large shields and spears.

### Cagrun

A a minor noble from Starport and a member of the Royal Sky Knights. Made an impressive entry into Braerk riding a War Hawk named 'Budgie'.

He is a giant Druid/Ranger and obviously a reasonably senior officer.

Sir Cagrun is as you would anticipate, heavily built, wearing Chainmail armour with a large hammer strapped across his back. What is strange is that under his surcoat something is obviously moving around – but never comes out of concealment. Quercuis discovered that this is Cagrun's “wriggly tasty totem” (according to his War Hawk) – sounds like a snake or something reptilian.

He appears to hold Gohde in high regard.

### Eliser

Eliser (sometimes spelt Elliser) is Cagrun's Lieutenant. He is a human, more athletic than muscular, wearing a Chainmail shirt only as opposed to full chainmail, he is armed with a metal shod staff – again strapped across his back. On his shoulder is perched a small falcon, which you have seen around the village a number of times – what is strange now you are a lot close to the bird is that it seems somehow slightly translucent.
Eliser is reasonably talkative now that the party has chosen to help out, and yes he is a fighter/mage, although he admits to not being particularly skilful, and has only recently joined the Sky Knights but hasn’t been allocated a Hawk mount yet. His armour is Elven in origin, loot from a battle in which combined Alveran and Giant forces routed an early Elven expeditionary force.

### Glagdan

The village mayor.

He tried to impose a semblance of organisation in Braerk when the refugees arrived looking for shelter/protection but was obviously well out of his depth in terms of any form of military knowledge. He immediately ceded military control to Cargun when he arrived.

### Shanni

The woman that we rescued from Kobold inflicted injuries between Braerk and the Bridge. Unfortunately, her daughter was not so lucky.

She was left at the Bridge infirmary in a shell-shocked state.

### Terfel

The young boy that we rescued along with Shanni.
