Bramm
Race: Human One-Ear Bramm is a massive, scarred hunter who runs the Root-Cutters Lodge in Grimhaven, supplying travelers with gear and the permits needed to enter the Darkwood. Clad in furs and rarely seen without a drink in hand, he is as gruff as he is capable, deeply distrustful of outsiders—especially those with “city-born” manners. His missing right ear is the subject of many rumors; Bramm claims it was lost in a misunderstanding with a Grimhaven branch, though some whisper he cut it off himself to remove a mark of impurity. While he officially serves the Inquisition by issuing permits, he quietly resents their control and often helps locals hide untaxed goods from the Order of the Scales. Beneath his rough exterior, Bramm knows the forest better than anyone—and will only speak of its deeper dangers to those he believes are strong enough not to “think loudly” once inside. |
