Personal history
King Boranel is the third son of Boranex ir'Wynarn the previous King of Breland. Boranel's two older brothers died in the Last War his younger brother Kor ir'Wynarn is the commander of the King's Citadel. Ascending to the throne in 961, he received a broad education with a lot of study in the arts of war. Along with the development of his mind came the training of his body. Boranel studied with some of the finest weaponmasters on Khorvaire, including a female Valenar elf named Eliri who taught him how to ride and fight on horseback. Eliri was the first love of Boranel’s life, but he was too young for her and foolish to think he could indulge such boyish infatuations.
In the Last War Boranel would rise to become a great general strictly through merit alone.
He married Lady Chaaseva ir'Maasat from Cyre in a great romance of Breland. During this time, he was a great treasure hunter in Xen'drik and sought out tremendous wealth in the ruins of that land. Eventually, his happiness came to an end when his Queen was murdered by parties unknown.
The joy of a happy marriage and four children turned to dust when his wife was assassinated on a moonless night. The sizable bounty for the killer has still never been collected. Unlike his father, Boranel overcame his grief, though he still suspects the hags of Droaam had a part in the murder. He has never forgiven them (or himself) for the loss of western Breland, and given proof of their involvement, he would launch into war against Droaam in an instant.
Boranel has outlived three wives and has eleven children. The destruction of Cyre was only the final straw for what developed into a tremendous need for peace in him. It was he who chiefly negotiated the Treaty of Thronehold and was tireless in its defense.
Education
Boranel received a broad education, giving him a good basis upon which to make decisions. He learned all of the languages common to Breland, which helped him understand the diverse cultures that make up the cosmopolitan nation. The young noble also studied strategy guides and tactical journals of battles. He and his tutors fought and refought the great conflicts of the past using miniature soldiers on a tabletop field.
Employment
When he reached adulthood and entered the Breland army, Boranel rose through the ranks swiftly, and solely by merit. Long before becoming Breland’s king, Boranel had been a general who was loved and respected by the entire army.
Accomplishments & Achievements
n his youth, Boranel was an adventurer, getting away from concerns of war and nation to explore Xen'drik, the dungeons of Sharn, and the wilds of Droaam. This adventurous spirit served him well, but Boranel has experienced highs and lows politically and in his private life.
In addition to numerous attendants, advisors, and family members, the king has two male magebred ghost tigers that dog his heels, keep him company, and reflect his moods.
Failures & Embarrassments
One tiger mauled Boranel’s son Aejar after the boy jokingly poked it with a wooden sword. Although Aejar survived the incident, Jorasco healing magic could not rid him of the terrible scars or reattach his left arm. Boranel feels his son learned a harsh lesson that day and bears the tiger no ill will, while Aejar has never overcome his fear and hatred of his father’s pets.
