Brenurho Kymriis

Brenurho Kymriis is an Silvish-Atlylian architect and statesman living in the Autokratoria of Sirradra. He serves as the Hanzenrounn of the Province of Silvay as well as the former baron of Lothrin and was a former Senator in the Autokratoria.

Early life
Brenurho Kymriis was born on the island of Lothrin to an Atlylian father and mother. Unlike most of his kin, most of whom live in isolation on the western beach, he was born in the town itself. Brenuhro’s father was a terrific sailor, working as a helmsman aboard one of the many ships in the harbor. His mother stayed at home, taking care of him and the family home. All was well, until his father didn’t return home. Whether he drowned at sea, or ran off is still unknown, but this caused Brenurho and his mother to have to move in with his grandfather.

Brenurho’s grandfather is the great Toiyo “The Ashen” Kymriis, a wizard who owns the renowned Valastiv, a library and shop for all that is magical. After his father’s death, Brenurho became a rather closed off child, spending much time in the depths of his grandfather’s library, reading all he could on numerous topics. Though they loved him, his mother was negligent in her grieving, and his grandfather remained cold and focused on his work. As he grew older, Brenurho became much more social, interacting with other young people his age, but with this growth, grew his vanity. Being a fairly attractive man, he drew the eye of many, but this only seemed to make him reliant on the praise and affection of these lovers, who gave him the care he had craved all these years.

Because of this, Brenurho never had success with any of his many relationships, which led him to focus more on studying the many tomes of the Valastiv. It was during this time that Brenurho found his true passion, and his career of choice. Brenurho loved history, the many tales of times long passed enamored him, but he was truly talented in the art of architecture. This talent got him into the Royal Academy in Fortuna, which led to him becoming one of the most promising students of the academy. His building designs were among the best in the region, and his designs slowly replaced the older designs in his hometown, making him the most respected architect of the town by the age of 22, and one of the most notorious in Western Cymru.

Baron of Lothrin
After returning home, Brenurho would be immediately appointed to the court of the Baron of Lothrin by Baron Kyle, whom he immediately began drafting plans for. He desired to fix the north side of town, which was in a severe state of disrepair. Brenurho quickly fixed up the north end of town, making it a rather popular neighborhood for the aristocrats of the isle. But once he showed plans to the Baron for a complete overhaul of the town, the Baron refused. Hearing his genius plans denied, Brenurho stormed out of the Barons castle in a rage and began building anyway. This resulted in him being fined, and kicked out of the court. This sparked a burning hatred of incompetent bureaucracy, and incompetence in general in the man. Brenurho knew he could turn the town into a truly desirable and beautiful place should he be allowed to do as he wished.

For months, Benurho helped his grandfather in the Valastiv, searching for jobs. In a stroke of good luck, Baron Kyle stepped down, as people had heard of his denial of the expansion plans Brenurho had put forward.

With this, a new baron was needed, and a man from the distant land of Tsaeloma was agreed upon as the best choice for the town. This man was named Nick Dem Spheniscidae. Benurho recognized the name instantly, he had read of Loic Dem Spheniscidae in the many tomes of history within the walls of the Valastiv, and was concerned hearing that his descendant was to lead the Barony, fearing he may be overshadowed by the man. These claims turned out to be totally unfounded though, as the new Baron upon hearing of Brenuhro’s plans for the town, immediately appointed him back as part of his court to implement this plan of expansion.

As Brenurho implemented his plans for the town, he grew closer with the Baron, who appreciated his wit in a town where the educated were far and few between, or too young to engage with. This resulted in Nick making Brenurho his closest advisor and his go too when thinking over anything. As a result, When Nick was forced to leave in order to take the title of his home city of Voitschenheiger, Brenuhro was left as regent of the Barony of Lothrin

Construction of White Stag Hall

Kymriis began construction of castle and also became regent of Lothrin in this time. Naming it White Stag Hall, after the White Stag of Lothrin. It was also around this time when he first met the young Xavier ad Alendir-Vulidion, a young mixed foxterian from Enithica. Despite his initial dislike of the young man, they soon became good acquaintances.

The Arcadius Feast

Brenurho Kymriis attended the Arcadius Feast around this time, meeting many people including Andros Martillus Justinianus, Dānjel Āmphed-Lāfāksan, Luca Brizzo ad Alendir (step father of Xavier), and most importantly, the Autokrator of Sirradra himself, Faustus Nicodemus Sirradrii. During this time, the two men formed a new friendship, discussing many academic topics at length, including the history and philosophy of Brenurho’s peoples religious beliefs.

Kymriis disappeared for a time, shortly after the Arcadius Feast. It is unknown where he went to, as there are no records in any neighboring provinces or nations to suggest a visit. He would return to the town of Lothrin shortly after a little different, changed in subtle ways that one had to look to see.

Rise Through Silvay

Kymriis would become the head architect of the Province of Silvay following the Arcadius feast, though he wouldn’t get much done due to continued work in the Barony of Lothrin and bureaucratic delays in the Provincial government. Kymriis also met Valkyrie Cornaro O’Valmen in his ministry works at this time, they quickly became friends due to their shared desire to reform the sluggish province.

Loss of The Family Sword

Kymriis would have his family sword stolen from him by a bandit a while after being appointed head Architect. In response, he instituted a policy of chopping the hands off of thieves in his barony, displaying a vengeful side that had yet to be seen in him.

Political Advances

Kymriis made part of the senate during reforms due to his popularity among government officials he had met back during the feast. This marked a shift in Brenurho’s attention away from building and more towards the politics he was finding himself drawn into. Kymriis was also promoted to prime minister of Silvay during this time for his active work in the provincial government, and during this time a new Hanzerouenn would be crowned, Gelozia Asagrim.

Regent of Silvay and Deputy of Architecture

After the Hanzerouenn Gelozia Asagrim fell ill and was forced to stepp down, Kymriis would assume the role of Regent Hanzerouenn as its former occupant Kaiserin Lytra, who took the role of Hanzerouenn.

As well during this time, Kymriis was made Deputy of Architecture at the national level. After seeing the work of Kymriis in Lothrin, the Minister of Architecture of Sirradra, Nagisa Yamato, made Kymriis his second deputy. This would make a slight shift back towards his chosen career of architecture, and away from politics and government.
