== Etymology ==
 
−
Properly translated from the original Cagilan dialect, the name Brigdha means "abiding strength", "virtue" or "exalted one". Hence Brigdha's full name means "the hidden virtue of the women of dark countenance".

==Description==
 
A bookish child, Brigdha has grown into a woman of moderate height and slender build with the Dubhaine family's trademark sable hair and pallid good looks. The appearance of a sombre demeanour is accentuated by the saturnine cast of her wardrobe and it therefore often comes as a surprise to those who join her circle of intimates to find that she has an earthy sense of mischief and a quick smile that dispels the blackest moods, facts well known to the men and women under her command.

Brigdha is an excellent shot with the bow and as a battlefield commander she was cool, calm and willing to take calculated risks to get the job done. By turns she has been a soldier, a blockade runner, a ranger, a diplomat and a politician but in modern times she's best known as a priestess and diplomat.
 
−
 
−
Since taking the cowl her intimate knowledge of subterfuge and espionage acquired as second-in-command of the ''Fontan Bureau of Irregular Warfare'' and the judicious use of the web of agents she maintains throughout the north have fuelled many rumours, not least that she's a sorceress of considerable power. As an advanced adept of [[Flow of the Balance|The Flow]] and [[The Shadows]] there may be some truth to these.

== History ==
 
 
Brigdha Dubhaine started out as a serious young knight aspiring to a career of martial prowess, however on moving to [[Fontan (Realm)|Fontan]] she discovered a natural talent for trade and business which for many years came to dominate her life. Following the disappearance of her half-sister [[Dubhaine Family/Moira|Moira]] she retired from public life, splitting her time between managing the family's many business interests and gathering any scrap of news as to the former Supreme Justice's fate and whereabouts.

−
As the Great War moved into its terminal phase with the capture of [[Negev]] by [[Sirion (Realm)|Sirion]] she felt compelled to once more defend the family's adoptive home, and during the black days when the Elven host hammered the gates of [[Krimml]] itself she found herself tasked with the city's defences. Later she rebuilt first [[Oporto]] and then [[Negev]], following in the footsteps of her sister [[Dubhaine Family/Moira|Moira]], and establishing the region as a well-garrisoned strongpoint.
+
With the latest brutal assaults on [[Fontan (Realm)|Fontan]] - not least the capture of [[Negev]] by [[Sirion (Realm)|Sirion]] - she feels compelled to once more defend the family's adoptive home.
−
 
 
−
When it became clear that [[Fontan (Realm)|Fontan]] could no longer continue true to her democratic principles Marchioness Brigdha petitioned for formal entry of [[Negev]] to the [[Sirion (Realm)|Republic of Sirion]] and for many years held the region as its most southerly outpost, focusing mostly on establishing good trading links along the east coast and advancing the spiritual traditions of the [[Flow of the Balance]] as ranking Balance Walker.
 
−
 
 
−
Her service to [[Sirion (Realm)|Sirion]] included multiple terms as [[Banker|Lord Speaker]] and representative of the ''Heru Mellen'' on the Realm Council.
 
−
 
 
−
For a time she was cajoled into joining the ill-fated realm of [[Dunnera]] for whom she acted as Ambassador, and later became Ambassador and confidante to Shadow King Mayhem of [[Shadowdale]] when the Duchies of Southern Sirion were reestablished as clients.
 
−
 
 
−
Later when the [[Flow of the Balance]] was reformed as [[The Shadows]] she became an elder of the order with the honour rank of Balance Walker, endowing many temples and shrines throughout [[Shadowdale]] and beyond.
 
  
 
Brigdha is the half-sister of [[Dubhaine Family/Aoifa|Aoifa]] and [[Dubhaine Family/Moira|Moira]].

Revision as of 16:22, 9 June 2019

Description

A bookish child, Brigdha has grown into a woman of moderate height and slender build with the Dubhaine family's trademark sable hair and pallid good looks. The appearance of a sombre demeanour is accentuated by the saturnine cast of her wardrobe and it therefore often comes as a surprise to those who join her circle of intimates to find that she has an earthy sense of mischief and a quick smile that dispels the blackest moods, facts well known to the men and women under her command.

Brigdha Dubhaine started out as a serious young knight aspiring to a career of martial prowess, however on moving to Fontan she discovered a natural talent for trade and business which for many years came to dominate her life. Following the disappearance of her half-sister Moira she retired from public life, splitting her time between managing the family's many business interests and gathering any scrap of news as to the former Supreme Justice's fate and whereabouts.

With the latest brutal assaults on Fontan - not least the capture of Negev by Sirion - she feels compelled to once more defend the family's adoptive home.

Brigdha is the half-sister of Aoifa and Moira.
