Bram
The humble innkeeper of Hollowmere who secretly ruled Veil as a Deathless sorcerer-king.
Bram is the beloved innkeeper of The Kettle & Crown in Hollowmere, known for baking bread and reading people with genuine hospitality. Beneath his apron lies a terrifying secret: he was once Emrin, a sorcerer-king who conquered Veil a century ago as the Deathless before walking away from power. Now approximately 102 years old, he deliberately suppresses his enormous [Deathless Sovereign] abilities to level up the humble [Innkeeper] class instead.
