Bruno Astilor

Bruno Braun, formerly Bruno Astilor, is a noble in Valreach. He is the head of House Braun and founder of the city of Braunlande.

Early Life
Very little is known about the parents of Bruno Braun, but it is understood that his father was in the military and his mother was a baker by profession. They both died to common ailments in Bruno's early teens. Bruno and his brother Sulla were initially born and raised in the city of Valrum, Valreach. They grew up on the city streets and enjoyed their time there, while it lasted. By the time they become adolescents, they began to realise that Valrum was not a very ambitious city to live in. Its initial growth and architecture were marvels to behold but the city soon ground to a halt when its Lord Mayor vanished. The city had unfinished projects and vacant lots of land where ever you went.

However, the young pair were swept up by the ambitious Charles Astilor of House Astilor, who played into the brothers dreams and aspirations for bigger things than the city streets of Valrum. He proposed to them that when they came of age, they could construct their own city under Charles' guidance, where he could show them the ropes of how to build a city, both in design and in culture. The brothers agreed to this notion and made the journey to Ludenstadt in the west to begin their new lives as adopted sons of House Astilor.

Welcome to Brown Town
The time had come, and Bruno Astilor was now given permission to begin his ambitious construction of a city at age 20. He was given a small plot of land north of Ludenstadt Castle, covered in jungle tress and brown earthy dirt beneath the canopy. Bruno and Sulla gave the settlement the title of Carantania temporarily, but after some thought, they agreed to name the town Braunlande, quite literally named after the brown soils they were greeted with when they first laid eyes on the plot.

Braunlande quickly grew into a town of many peoples, from all over the Valrean state.
