Bråkan

Bråkan is rarely quiet—and never entirely steady on his feet.

He stumbles over roots, bumps into tree trunks, and occasionally startles birds from their branches when he laughs too loudly at his own missteps. When Bråkan passes through the forest, something almost always rustles, rattles, or tumbles behind him.

Bråkan is a member of the Ruby Council and the Keeper of Merriment.

He believes joy is one of the oldest magics in the world. Laughter, he says, warms a heart faster than any fire and travels farther than even the sharpest winter wind.

Though Bråkan means no mischief, it often seems to find him anyway. A slipped step, a dropped basket, a tumble through moss—each mistake quickly followed by the sound of his cheerful laughter.

Where others might feel embarrassed, Bråkan simply grins.

Bråkan knows that laughter shared freely is a gift.

And when a long day feels too heavy…
When the forest grows too quiet…
When a small mistake suddenly turns into a story worth telling…

That will be Bråkan.
