Character and Background
- The king of Haebrous during the events of the Grael Rebellion.
He began his rule in DE 4973. In the fifth year of the reign of His Majesty King Braletain of Haebrous, a tribe of Ruschk in the frigid northern edge of the Kingdom of Haebrous is slain to make way for a mercantile company's gemstone excavations.[1] This native tribe called themselves "Mukkir" and put up such a ferocious fight against the Haebreans that Braletain's soldiers exterminated every one, save for one single warrior.[2] This only survivor of this tribe, Grael, is brought back to the Royal Menagerie.[1]
At his queen's behest, Braletain subjected Grael to life in the gladiatorial pits. As time led on, Grael. a. k. a. the Spear of Mukkir gathered an army of slaves and fought their way from the pits and savaged the kingdom, killing many, including Braletain's young wife, Queen Carraida.[3][2]
Grael somehow escaped Braletain's vengeance, even as his followers were annihilated by the diluted magical arts of the Haebrean royal "thaumaturges".[2] Lord Alashorn wrote that after the death of the Queen and the events of the Grael Rebellion, Braletain was not the same, and with no clear successor, he feared that war would soon come between the allied nations of Yalain and Haebrous and the Dericostians.[1] Twenty years after The Grael Rebellion, King Braletain is a ruined and wasted man, a shadow of the strong and admirable leader he had been.[1] At approximately DE 5000, when Dericost reached the height of it's power, it attacked the neighboring nations of Haebrous and Yalain. This marked the beginning of the Millennium War.[4]
- Successor (??) was King Jailne, who, together with Empress Alaidain of the Yalaini, defeated the Dericost faction of the Latzimestal at the end of the Millenium War, ca. DE 6174.[5]
