The Brear (The Behar) Part 3.2 - .27 Wiki Wednesday

Hi everyone,

A new Wiki Wednesday about those Brear Barbarians! We are gaining speed with the story and we are about to tell the most important stuff: The Second Rebellion of the Brear!

Only we still have the First Rebellion of the Brear which needs to be told and finished. We ended last weeks Wiki Wednesday with a heritage dispute between the hides - the name for a piece of land were a specific chieftain was in control - of Vortisar and Makaror, and of course the appointing of the cunning new consul Cecilos. Vortisar at this moment is the chieftain of the biggest city in Breasia - Tracabra - so logically he has the most men to put into battle, but Makaror has the most loyal and brutal fighters in his posse.

In this Wiki Wednesday we will tell you about the start of the conflict between their tribes and how it all started.

So, lets start!

--------------------------------------------

Background

The problem for the Brear in heritage matters would come when a chieftain had no son’s and only daughters. In the past, it was customary that a second or third son of a neighboring tribe would marry into the family without sons and leave his own family behind. But due to Cecilos' changes in inheritance law, this would no longer be possible.

Cecilos heard of the marriage between the two children and he knew about the old laws and traditions of the Brear. Cecilos, cunning as he was, already knew about the dispute between Vortisar “The Unfar” and Makaror. Makaror accepted the new laws from the realm, except for the marriage between his oldest daughter and a younger son of Vortisar. He persisted in the fact that the old laws were still valid for this marriage. Vortisar first accepted the wishes of Makaror but he was eventually swayed by Cecilos to ignore the old laws. Cecilos also promised him that he, if needed, could call on the help of the mighty Erosian armies if Makaror disputed his rule in the region.

Vortisar played along with Cecilos, because he would become the newly appointed representative of the realm. Cecilos was probably never intending to give Vortisar this honor, but he could use the wedge between the people to weaken their powers. The reason for this increased interest in the region of Breasia by the erosians was the finding of gold in hills belonging to a warbrother of Vortisar named Ottaram. The Brear themselves had no interest in the gold deposits because they saw gold as a weak metal which was easily bent and couldn’t be used in weapons.

Makaror eventually wished for a court under the supervision of the Brass’ hags and underneath the old Brear laws, after he heard of the opposing thoughts of Vortisar in the matter. In these special courts, it were the Hags who had the final verdict, like in old times. Vortisar accepted the trial, thinking the hags would choose for his side in this conflict, but in the end he came out defeated because the Brass’ hags voted for the side of Makaror. Vortisars son now belonged to the hide of Makaror and the verdict was final.

Vortisar, unfair as he was, waved off the final verdict from the hags because he tought he had the erosians on his side.

Vortisar send out a rider to Hellisia to inform Cecilos. Cecilos answered that he wished to remain neutral for the time being because he would not want to interfere in Brear business, but he gave his blessing that if necessary the Erosian troops would help Vortisar.

Makaror, who heard of the unwillingness of Vortisar to accept the outcome of the verdict, called for his warbrothers to come and fight for his name and honor. Vortisar on the other hand also called out for his warbrothers and two camps began to form. The two camps roughly conferred on the northern, more mountainous regions, and the southern, the more hilly regions.
