Description
You see Dawnsworn Briaen Huns, Knight Penitent of Berengaria, a Human.
Briaen has a sharp-cornered mouth framed by an angular face, slightly pointed ears, thick-lashed expressive icy blue eyes and a classical nose. His ash-blonde hair is long and straight with stark white streaks at the temple, and is worn in a simple, pulled-back style held in place by some anloral hairbeads etched with holy symbols. He has fair skin and a deceptively muscular, whipcord lean build.
He is average height for a Human.
He appears to be mature.
His has an impeccably groomed beard that lends him a distinguished look.
His forearm has a tattoo of a gold-outlined sheaf of ripened wheat shaded in soft aurorean hues.
A spectral torch lit with pale ivory flame seethes and drifts around Briaen in erratic circles.
He is in good shape.
He is wearing a long white cassock that drapes to the floor in soft folds, a smooth wedding ring crafted from sungold, a plain black prayer sash, an engraved silver censer suspended from a sturdy chain and some dark leather boots with flat soles.

Notable Items
Dawnblade of Berengaria
Crafted with the blade forming a very slight wave pattern, this weapon shines as if with its own inner light. Symbols grace the center of the mirror-polished metal, each one inlaid with sunstone-infused glaes. The heavy hilt is sculpted into the semblance of a sheaf of grain bound by a loose golden cord.
Notes: Only one of these blades is known to exist.
Dawnfire Greatsword
Lacking a crossguard, the sword's hilt transitions seamlessly into a broad ricasso with elegant truegold knotwork. Below the ricasso, the blade diverges into parallel lengths, sundered by a narrow channel. Though twilight-blue, the metal transmutes any reflected light into a brilliant yellow that is echoed by the softly glowing lines of truegold that run lengthwise along each blade.
Notes: This blade is enchanted with fire weapon flare.
Vela'tohr Blade
- an elegantly tapered blade of polished white glaes
Gleaming with a radiant vitreous finish, the straight double-edged blade is slender and narrows exquisitely to a sharp point. Numerous branches split from the cross-guard, the glaes distinctively worked to mimic bloodvine tendrils that form a cage to protect the wielder's hand. An argent beryl vela'tohr flower is worked into the pommel with a vibrant silver spiritgem nestled in its heart. Impressed into the ricasso are the initials "S. L."
Notes: The spiritgem pressed into the pommel's head is from before Briaen became foresaken and represents the true color of his soul prior to his Redemption. The blade was originally crafted by Squanto and is master crafted glaes. He rarely shows this item, but intends to use it when he does. The blade is always blessed and is often used specifically against the undead, the cursed, and the damned. This blade is enchanted with radiant weapon flare. This blade was given to Kethrai for his heroic actions when Briaen and Mendira were attacked near their home by the Hound of Rutilor Chepiso in 448 AV on the 10th day of the first month of Akroeg the Ram (Jan. 23, 2024).
