Bran, the Bold

The God of Fire and Summer. Bran represents sensuality, desire, passion, courage, glory and power.

Appearance & Depiction
Bran is often depicted as a female, armour-clad knight or Paladin without a helmet. Bran is seen as the god to turn to in times of trial or great need. Inner strength and perseverance being key virtues in her mantra.

Bran is often depicted as the rash, progressive, and blunt of The Court of Four. She speaks what she feels, with little regard for the objections of others. One of Bran’s most redeeming features is her strength, drive and passion. She is often looked to in times of struggle for inner strength. Her fire burns brightly in the darkest, coldest of nights.

 Bran is often associated with the Morning, the lighting of the great fire, and the daylight. She is often prayed to at the midday mark, when her symbol is highest in the sky.

Bran is also, however, the god of wrath. She has a terrible temper; once scorned, she will lash out with unbridled fury to destroy everything her enemy holds dear. She holds nothing back.

Bran is not often turned to for forgiveness, rather called upon to oversee justice, punishment and retribution.

Interaction
The Gods are never seen, but they are ever-present. They watch the people of Markoth and hear their calls when they are summoned by ritual. Each of the court has its own ritual, in which a sacrifice must be made.

Bran demands a fire be built, and a carcass be burned. The Offering needs to equate the price of the favor asked. For a family blessing for the season, the carcass of a bird or small creature would suffice. Many funerals are dedicated to Bran, in that blessing the family of those departed is paid for by the deceased’s corpse.
