The Brandan are one of the fairly powerful major Kencyr house. The Brandan have been known to be very solid and reliable, if not very imaginative. They tend to be solemn and serious. The Brandan are also known to observe tradition closely, but are mortified by violations of protocol. Their greatest squabble with the Knorth regards Aerulan's death-banner, which they would prefer to have by paying her full bride-price, as it acknowledges her worth as a lady even in death.
