The Bruils can provide the party with a bit of information about the scions but are mainly a background faction.Bruil FamilySource: SoGGame Purpose: Background or Resource FactionFaction Type: CompanyGoal: To gain a spot amongst the great houses.Background:Ever since they were beaten by the Quinchinos for a spot amongst the great families, the Bruils have fallen on hard times (But not as bad as Pulanti). The family works hard to gain back what coin and status they can, mostly dealing in shipping and trading.Members:Vanth BruilThe fierce Vanth Bruil currently leads house Bruil, even though well into the six decade. He had a nasty falling out with his son, Hulmuth the Lord of keys, over the Quinchino coup which brought the family to near ruin. The two are barely civil to each other. Desperate for a new heir and not above causing his son heartache, Vanth proclaimed his bastard grandson Argens as heir. Vanth is a particularly crotchety old man who does not care much for any one. He is exceptionally short and rude to his servants throwing tantrums at the smallest of errors. He has had 5 wives all much younger than him but he tires of them quickly and blames them for their inability to produce a male heir apart from his first wife who died in child birth from his "no good son" Humluth.Though the turmoil of the last few decades has begun to wear physically on Vanth, his wit is still as sharp and shrill as his tung. The cane he used to carry around simply to show off his stature and to deliver swift blows to his staff for mistakes, he now uses to support his walking, as well as to point or wave  disapprovingly. He has shoulder length bark gray hair which hangs down unkept.Argen BruilThe bastard son of Hulmuth Bruil Argen never expected much out of life. He was content to live out his days in service to Solanus, caring for the most vulnerable of the city. But when his estranged grandfather named him successor to the Bruil estates, his whole life was flipped upside down. He was plucked from the common life and thrust into nobility.Completely contrary to his grandfather Argen's is a humble and a gentle soul. Against his grandfathers wish's Argen's has quietly continued his work at the temple of Solanus and even undergone Paladin training under father Beamus Cain. Argen is a caring boy who had spent the days before his disappearance helping to rebuild a local hostelry that had been destroyed by fire several months ago. A little shy of 20 Argen's is a extremely handsome boy. His care free sandy hair is windswept. His strong chin and broad shoulders give him an intimidating presence but his soft green eyes put all those around him to ease.Face: Vanth BruilRelationships:Dislike all the major houses but Particularly Quinchino.Strong dislike for Lord of KeysNotes: Minor houseFamily colors, blue and whiteTheir family coat of arms is blazon thus agent, two bars wavey per chief Azure, a ram's head properQuest Notes:Vanth will meet with the PCS, but other than blaming Halmuth for lack of activity is not particularly helpful. (SoG)Argen was last seen in his Chambers by his chambermaid. A Cha check will persuade Argen's elderly chambermaid to reveal that at least once a month for the past several months, the Scion would not return home for up to three days. More than once, upon his return, his clothes had odd stains and tears and sometimes dried blood. The maid assumed these are simply the byproducts of youthful indiscretions.(SoG)Reward for bringing Argen back safely is ring of the ram. (SoG)</blockquote>
