Brazensow Manor

**Brazensow Manor** (Euluska: *Breizënsau /*βɾɛi.zən.saʊᵝ/ ) was a colonial Lusken-built manor and hall in the Bronze Hills of Lakay's Great Plateau, near Huckleberry.

## Location

It was surrounded by several landmarks, and was near to the town of Huckleberry. It was full of lodges, fields, and buildings, and surrounded by dramatic rocky hills covered in tors.

It was under a mile from Huckleberry as the crow flies, but due to the topography, the track road into town was about a mile and a half.

The grounds of the estate encompassed about 100 acres - most of which was the main hall and grounds, plus a small hunting lodge.

## Family Name

in Middle Euluska the name of the founding family was Vrísthimsoü. Middle Euluska pronunciation: /ˈvɾɪst.çɪɱ.sɔu/, Modern Euluska approximation: /ˈvɾis.tʰɪm.sɔu/.

Vrist (Modern pronunciation: /vɾist/) is the Euluska name of the second homeland capital, Brist. *Himsoü* was Middle Euluska for an antlered hind (archaic term for a male deer), but the word *himsoü* also came to mean a tusked boar or tusked pig. Thus, Vrísthimsoü meant something like 'Brist-Hart'.

Over time, the spelling and pronunciation shifted and were not standardised. By the time Ksandrina reignited the family name around 0 C, she used records to retrace the name and settled on the Modern Euluska spelling *Breizënsau* */*βɾɛi.zən.saʊᵝ/.

## Brief History

It was built on a large flat hill overlooking the River Mare and Lake Nocturne in the 1200s TE by Lusken settlers. It was founded at a similar time to Huckleberry by a Lusken noble family, the *Vristhimsoü* family.

### The God Wars and Collapse Era

Since the God Wars opened a portal to the Shadow World, a 'Hound' had terrorised the area for quite some time, feeding on fear.

Just before the end of the God Wars (a i.e. a few years before 0C), a Luskan woman named Ksandrina Brazensow living on Elwy traced her family's claim to it and settled it again, as the modern generation of Brazensows. They lived on the land for some time; but Ksandrina made a pact with Ormander to protect them from the Hound. This pact backfired - the fiend turned all blood Brazensows into invisible servants, stealing their voice and body for his own misdeeds.

In 252 C, a gang member named Kragar gained rightful ownership of the house in a game of cards. He and the Wildecards arrived and caused quite a stir. This led to Henrick, the last remaining Brazensow, to die, and with him, the line was extinguished (except for Teiva, who had fled into self imposed exile).
