The Empire of
The Two Lights
Bram von Nottgard,
Prince of Nottgard Kingdom
Lord of House Nottgard • Little Crow of the south
Overview
Bram von Nottgard is the youngest son of King Alaric and Queen Sigrid, and the most beloved child of Nottgard’s people.
Unlike his siblings—each shaped by destiny, duty, or divine calling—Bram exists in a fleeting space untouched by the burdens of rule. He is not yet forged by war, nor weighed down by succession, nor bound by political design.
To the North, he is a reminder of something easily forgotten:
That even in a land of iron and night,
there can still be lightness.
Biography
Birth and Lineage
Born on Sarab 8, 88 AH, in the cold shadow of the Wall, Bram von Nottgard entered the world not with prophecy or expectation—but with something far rarer in a royal house:
freedom
Early Life
Where his brother bears the weight of inheritance,
and his sisters walk paths carved by prophecy and politics,
Bram walks freely.
He is too young to be shaped by the expectations that define House Nottgard. No betrothal has been arranged, no command placed upon him, no role demanded of him beyond simply being.
This absence of burden has made him something unusual in a royal court:
genuinely loved.
Among the people of Nottgard, he is seen not as a future ruler or symbol—but as their prince in the purest sense: unguarded, unshaped, and untouched by the games of power.
The Spákona
At the age of two, his sister Nyx carved a name into the stone of his bedchamber:
ᛚᚢᛏᛁᛚᚺᚱᚨᛒᚾᚨᛉ (Lutil-Hrabnaz).
When questioned, she spoke simply:
“He is our little crow.”
To the people of Nottgard, the crow is not a trivial creature. It is sacred—a watcher, a messenger, a silent guide in the service of Vetr, Lord of the Night.
What Nyx saw in Bram remains unspoken.
Whether it was a vision
Or a sister’s affection
Or something in between
She has never clarified.
And in Nottgard, silence is often more meaningful than explanation.
Symbol of the North
Bram’s titles—Little Crow, Little Raven—are not marks of authority, but of identity.
They place him within the quiet symbolism of the South:
The crow that watches unseen
The raven that carries truth across the dark
The small presence that moves between greater powers
He is not yet the storm.
He is the sign that the storm is being watched.
Faith of the Night
Bram is raised in the faith of Vetr, Lord of the Night, as all of House Nottgard.
Yet his connection to that faith is not defined through doctrine or devotion, but through symbol and story. Through names given, rather than vows sworn.
Where others prove their belief through strength,
Bram simply exists within it.
Legacy
Bram von Nottgard stands at the rare edge of possibility.
He is the son of a king, yet not bound by kingship.
A child of the North, yet not hardened by it.
Named by a seer, yet untouched by prophecy—at least for now.
Whether he remains the Little Crow,
or grows into something greater—
is a question the North has not yet answered.
But if the crow is truly the messenger of Vetr,
then one day,
when the Night has something to say—
it may speak through him.
