Brass Coast egregore
Dust, Flame and Glass
The egregore of the Brass Coast carries three names, Dust', Glass, or Flame - the three elements that the Freeborn believe shape their people. Which one it answers to at any given time depends on the mood of the host, the whims of the egregore, or the needs of the nation. A host may favour one of the three forms or change between them as mood and need arises. They can often be identified by the colour of their tagelmust.
- Dust dresses comfortably and luxuriantly and talks about the importance of family and plain honest speaking. Favours a sandy yellow tagelmust.
- Glass is a quiet philosopher, dressing practically, and likes to talk about the soul and what it means to be Freeborn. Glass occasionally takes on the mantle of the kohan and favours a rich red tagelmust.
- Flame prefers the exuberant styling of a sutannir, encouraging parties and celebrations, and to inspire those going to war. Favbours a blue or green tagelmust..
Regardless of the name it takes, the egregore is always fond of dancing, of sharing tales, and of living life to the full.
Current Hosts
Mattias i Guerra
Mattias grew up in the region of Kahraman, his family specialising in paradors and wood working. He lead a relatively sheltered life in comfortable wealth, until he visited Anvil and fell in love with the adventure and heroics. He finds his natural changeling temperament lends him well into sutannir affairs, loving to organise a party, dance, provide hospitality and to listen to people’s struggles with Virtue. Most often presenting as Flame, he embodies all that is passionate and tempestuous about the Coast, enjoying a fiery debate as much as a song. He is also known to commonly appear in his Dust form as a scrivener, taking great delight in weaving words into contracts.
Deceased Hosts
Jaime i Guerra
Jaime i Guerra's family was mostly killed during the barbarian attack on Segura. Jaime fled with his younger brother to safety in Madruga but never really settled down: he developed a fascination with the sea that led to him being a corsair, forever travelling over the oceans. He came to Anvil when the Freeborn Storm navy was created, as part of the upsurge in national pride in their sailing past. Although at times he took on all three of the faces of the egregore, it was the fiery emotions of Flame that burnt brightest in him: he loved laughing, music, partying, and fighting. As he forged links to more members of the nation through his roles as egregore, he also started to become Dust more often, seeing the importance of family once more. Jaime died during a skirmish against the Grendel in Madruga during the Winter Solstice of 381YE.
Sol i Riqueza
Sol i Riqueza was a young hakima who has spent 20 years growing up between the northern mountains of Kahraman and the plains of Rojota, developing a love for this land and its fractious families. He has yet to settle truly within each of the faces of the spirit, still learning the moods that fit him best but he has shown clear preferences for embodying the aspects attuned to those Freeborn that are without families, both hakima and kohan.
