Mistress Brukna
Gender: Female, Age: 37, Height: 7'4" (224 cm), Weight: 320 lbs (145.1 kg)
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Known for her brutal discipline and unyielding standards, Brukna does not train the weak or the hesitant. Only those willing to bleed for strength may earn her respect.
"Hmph. Another whelp ... come sniffing for strength." Her piercing eyes scan you, sizing up your worth.
"You train here?" She steps forward, towering over you, voice low and rough. "Then you bleed here. That price too high? Walk now."
A smirk tugs at her lips, but there is no warmth in it. "Weak ones waste my time. Brukna only train warriors." She squints her eyes at you. "Show me." She gestures toward the battered training dummies. "Or go back... to hole you crawled from."
Warriors from all walks of life fill the training grounds—some eager, some weary, all determined. Here, rank and reputation hold no power. Every student, whether noble-born or nameless wanderer, stands equal beneath Brukna’s gaze. She is a legend, the master of masters, and to train under her is both an honor and a trial. Those who enter her hall leave either as warriors—or as those who failed to rise.
The training is relentless. Drills stretch from dawn until the last light fades, each strike measured, each mistake punished. There is no room for weakness, no patience for excuses. The weight of a sword is one thing, but the weight of her expectations is far heavier. Every failure earns a scathing remark, every success is met with a nod and nothing more. It is said that Brukna only speaks freely when a lesson must be burned into the mind, and when she does, her words cut sharper than any blade.
But training is not the only purpose here. Between bruises and exhaustion, warriors speak—of battles fought, of alliances made, of names that carry power beyond the hall’s stone walls. Those who listen closely will find that knowledge flows as freely as sweat. Tales of rising warlords, whispers of duels yet to come, rumors of warriors whose names are best left unspoken. To train under Brukna is to be sharpened, not just in body, but in mind.
