Braden Gwyndynen
Teeshoch Braden Gwyndynen
Braden Gwyndynen is the Teeshoch or leader of the Canton of Cooley in the territory of the Dalbrok Clan of Colo. He is a 55-year-old Halfling and has been the appointed leader of the Canton for 6 years.
Braden was chosen for the post of Teeshoch specifically for his expertise in infrastructure design and material management. He has shown the Ryuri and his counsellors the value of good practices when it comes to agriculture and forestry, especially in regard to return on investment. He has, in his six years as the leader of the Canton, increased the revenues for the Clan, the Ryuri, and the Canton as a whole by nearly 60%. The population of the Canton is growing, taxes are low and businesses are booming. He has seen the success of similar efforts in places like the Duchy of Len Doa, and is convinced that he can bring the same benefits to the Dalbrok Clan that Halflings have brought to other regions.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Braden is 4'11" tall and weighs 125 lbs, but is remarkably strong for his size. He has thick, wavy brown hair and hazel eyes, and has a very fine and thin beard on his lip and chin (something he is sensitive about).
Special abilities
Braden is known as one of the finest archers in all of the Dalbrok territory. He has a bow made from the horns of a Forest Dragon that can put an arrow completely through the barrel of a horse's chest at 60 yards, and Braden can hit a hand-sized target at twice that distance with it.
Apparel & Accessories
As Teeshoch, Braden was given a chain of office by the Ryuri himself. It is a chain of silver medallions each with a wolf's head denoting the Clan symbol.
Personality Characteristics
Likes & Dislikes
While Braden sees the value in many of the efforts made by his fellow Halflings in areas across the High Kingdom of Imesse, he has a nearly irrational dislike of all Imessians he has encountered since the invasion of Colo nearly 25 years ago. He has even refused to trade with a group of Halfling wool mongers from Norwas in the Duchy of Len Doa simply because they spoke only Caldarian with an Imessian accent.
Social
Reign
Teeshoch for the last 6 years
Contacts & Relations
With the Ryuri's permission, Braden has been in contact with the Halfling communities across the Colian frontier that harvest the Farrwood Forest of the Duchy of Len Doa. The goal is to share information and knowledge that will help improve profits and production within the Canton.
Well known for using the Colian phrase Dalbrok gobrah often and loudly. It is Colian for "Dalbrok forever" and was a fighting cry of the Dalbrok knights during the war with Imesse.
