Brace Splitbark was a man who played a part in the tale known as the Legacy of the Green Regent, as told by the bard Teseryne Truesilver.

Description
Brace was a short, stocky man with tan skin, blue eyes, and long brown hair. Though he was handsome enough, he rarely was seen to smile and thus had a grim, stoic look and came across as rather standoffish. Brace was usually dressed in the clothes of a simple tradesman, with a belt full of vials and potions.

Relationships
Brace was the brother of Korrlan Splitbark, an Ilmatari priest from Neverwinter.

Brace seemed to relate to Blaz Merrymar, one of the merchants in a caravan heading from Zelbross to Loudwater before Shieldmeet, since that halfling appeared to have suffered a great loss and only faked happiness for the benefit of his fellow travelers.

When Brace first saw the halfling Juniper Churlgo, he mistook her for a spectre of his young daughter, Silifrey.

History
When the Wailing Death struck the city of Neverwinter, it decimated the city and also the Ilmatari hospital there where Brace's brother Korr had worked. Brace's children and wife died in the plague, as did the head of the Ilmatari Church. The hospital even ran completely out of supplies. The two brothers were forced to leave the city as refugees, and they found themselves in a merchant caravan heading east away from the Sowrd Coast.
