Brakar

CanonOfficial lore from the books▶ Actual play

Brakar is an orc chief in the campaign Zincirsiz ("Unchained"), larger and more seasoned than the others in his camp, who leads together with the old shaman Gromak. When orcs brought captives into the camp, he set Jonathan River and Olaf apart from the prisoners taken for soldiers, and once the shaman had weighed their words he offered the pair a task. His name was not given at that first meeting.123

The bargain

Brakar said he feared that a relic taken from the tomb of their ancestors would become an amusement for the Empire. Not wishing to reveal his people any further, he asked the two to bring it back from a nearby camp of some twenty to twenty-five soldiers. Jonathan's mage licence and their money were kept as a pledge, though half of Jonathan's coin was handed back to cover his costs. When Jonathan asked that the other captives be freed too, Brakar said only that he would think about it.456

The scattered camp

By the time the two returned, a battle had scattered the camp. Badly wounded orcs left behind said they did not know where their chief was, but knew that he lived, and pointed towards the mountains. Brakar and Gromak later stood before Jonathan again. Gromak told him that in the flight Brakar's saddlebag had been left behind and taken by the leader of their enemies, and guessed that Jonathan's licence was in it.789

The rod entrusted

By Gromak's account, Brakar is one of the orcs who refuse to be the pawns of their god. He told Jonathan that he had begun to trust him and, on his promise never knowingly to dishonour their ancestors, left the rod in his keeping (see Rod of Azbo's mountain). They agreed that a message carried by animals would name a place and time to meet, and when the rain stopped Brakar and Gromak went to search for the tomb of Azbo from another direction.10111213
