Brya Dawndread

Brya Dawndread grew up in the southern part of Iobof, where the rivers come down from the mountains. In this part of Azurhia, water means power - and if you control the water, you control much. She started out as a member of a ruthless war-mongering clan, called the Tholimanzi, that was trying to gain control of much of the waterlands.

After a particularly brutal incident, she had what can only be described as a religious experience. She was touched by Olulula, the goddess of light and knowledge, and became deeply viscerally aware that there was in fact enough water for everyone, if instead of hording it and using it for power, the people just shared it. Knowing she would not be able to explain this to her clan, she left to follow her newfound cleric path.

She ran away to the city of Almilh. There she found passage on a boat, andtravelled for a while using her new cleric abilities. Eventually, the boat landed in Merterra, where she heard about the Gallant Horde - a group seeking adventurers to do good and earn some coin - and she took the opportunity, heading up to Circle Creek.
