Early Life

In the old days, before blood iron, magic could only be casted in mist regions. The Brayton family was one of the longstanding noble families within Veximarl. Tuvayl had close ties with the human rulers of Veximarl's mist region, the Morass family. After the rumored death of Princess Semira, Brayton focused on his swordmanship.

Rise of the Acolytes

For unknown reasons, the laws of magic seemingly changed within a ten year span. Those with magical abilities were able to use their powers outside of mist regions. Children with a new class of magic, necromancy, were being born. The ruling structure that once commanded these centers of power collapsed. Among them was the Morass family.

Tuvayl put together a team of other nobles to discover the source of these changes. He came across his old friend, Semira, who was a specialist in necromancy magic. She had been living as a blacksmith's apprentice for the past few years.

Semira explained that humanity's source of magic was no longer mist, but blood iron. This was due to the birth of a new god, which no one had met. Tuvayl asked her to join his team and search for a new god. She agreed, and the two eventually fell in love.

God Among Men

Brayton sought out his family's patron god, Tock, in order to gain more information on where the new god was. Tock notified him that the prophet families were no longer the only ones who carried time magic. Acolytes of all magical backgrounds were being born. Fearful that humanity will abuse time magic, he asked for Brayton to kill the new god and stop more acolytes from being born.

Upon Semira's request, the group went to talk to Bellia next. They hoped that the god of mists would be able to stop acolytes from being born without having to murder the new god. Bellia said that blood iron was now a law of nature. Destroying the new god, Tria, would have detrimental effects on all of magic. Tuvayl decided that he would wait and see if hunting down Tria was truly necessary.

He would only realize his mistake years later, when Crea fed the last of her body to create the last of the new gods, Mart. Tock, furious over having been ignored in the past, erased all of Brayton's memories of Semira. He demanded that action be taken to slow the growth of the acolytes.

Brayton would then be visited by Tria, who thanked him for showing her mercy. She gave him the Sword of Eishur. Killing her would not stop the acolytes, but he could divide the old god's bodies and send their powers into torpor. This would weaken the original prophet bloodlines and make their acolytes lose powers. Both Bellia and Tock willingly sacrificed themselves for this cause.

Tria had originally asked that Tyrtain, god of elements, be left alone. She saw no harm in allowing his acolytes to prosper. Tyrtain, angered by the lose of Bellia, Crea, and Tock, sought to destroy all of humanity. Though Brayton had not wanted to, he, with the help of Tria, divided him in a way that would only weaken his acolytes, not stop them from being born.

Braytons Barracks

After the fall of Tyrtain, Brayton decided to open a barracks and train his successors. He felt great pain over the memories he had lost, and did not wish to return to the Harpy Kingdom. Braytons would be established with the help of Tria, within what would become the Gilded Region. Brayton's original plan was to have the Heart of Eishur go to a graduate of the barracks, but his descendants chose to keep it within their bloodline. His grandson would later use the power of the sword to establish Lustro.
