Branwen was a cleric of Tempus who lived in the mid–14th century DR. Although she was from an island chain to the southwest, she spent some significant time adventuring the Sword Coast.[2]

Powers[]

Branwen possessed the unique ability to summon a spiritual hammer.[2]

History[]

Born in the village of Seawolf in the Norheim Isles, Branwen was reviled by her fellow villagers for pursuing the traditionally male-oriented profession of priest. She wandered the Sword Coast, eventually falling in with a malicious adventuring troupe.[2]

Some time during or around the Year of the Banner, 1368 DR, Branwen realized the troupe engaged in banditry. She rebelled against them but was turned to stone by the mage Tranzig and left at the Nashkel carnival.[2]

Branwen was buried in the Lower City Graveyard of Baldur's Gate, next to the Durinbold Mausoleum. Her gravestone was etched with a single inscription: "*Mighty Branwen. The Foehammer grants you honor in death." Her grave may had been accidentally desecrated, and body risen as an undead by Nina Dortmell, a talented child with the Gift, who was trying to resurrect her recently deceased brother.[1]
