Sror Branuk

Sror Branuk was a Ferrarian nobleman who served the Oboror royal family for much of his life. He was the second son of the Lord of the Lake, and his brother Mlor Branuk became Lord of the Lake. Sror sought to take power for himself, scheming for much of his life control the monarchs and then tried to take the crown itself, sparking a civil war. He lost this war, and was executed for treason.

Sror manipulated the brothers Vikud I and Ferran II against each other, forcing Vikud to abdicate and then sent him into exile. Ferran II spent much of his time as king fighting wars against the Changelings and other factions on Ormantella, leaving Sror to rule in Ferran's Hold. Sror used this position to make himself very wealthy at the expense of the rest of the kingdom. Sror was responsible for building some of the foundries along the shores of Lake Yekar, which led to its pollution when waste from the foundries was allowed to drain into the Lake. Years later, special pipes had to be built to safely dispose of the waste. When Ferran II died at war, Sror kept power until it could be transferred to Ferran's son Nilom I. However, Nilom was ill for all of his reign, so Sror ruled alongside Nilom's brother Geoth. When Nilom finally died, the crown was supposed to pass to Geoth. However, Nilom had privately expressed wishes for Sror to rule instead. This led to a war of succession, which Sror lost when Geoth marched on the Branuk family keep and killed Sror's wife and children. Sror surrendered and was drowned in Lake Yekar for treason.
