Braestaig
Braestaig is a town situated in northern Scosglen, situated in the Wailing Hills region.
Lore[]
The town is overseen by Chieftain Asgail.[1] It is (or at least was) considered less upmarket compared to Cerrigar.[2] Its people hunt the wilderness outside the town, but this is a dangerous endeavor at best.[3]
History[]
After the Days of Ash, Knights Penitent were garrisoned at Braestaig at Donan's request/command. This led to tensions between the Knights and Asgail.[1]
In 1336, Lilith passed by Braestaig as she headed north in her search for Airidah. Not long after, fog swept down from the uplands, with maddened spirits emerging from it. The fog blanketed the roads around the town.[1] This prevented the townsfolk from hunting as they once had—it had been dangerous before, but now, it was deadly.[3]
