Lost to the rolling green hills of Ireland is the very start of our history. Fighting against a force that sought to intimidate and destroy those of different views, Miranda Branson and Morgan Doyle met, fighting for the same team. Battle after battle they form allies, strong friendships and fell in love. The day of their wedding the same force they fought against stormed the Branson estate. During the battle many were killed, but Morgan could not find Miranda. Continuing to search despite hope, he and several others who fought along side him relocated to Rhydin. Years went by and he gained access to the old lands of Bristle Crios. Building a place where everyone could feel accepted no matter their abilities, race, or history. Through the nexus Miranda Branson came to Rhy'din and once Morgan found her the pair began to pick up where they had left off. (Link)
On several acres of pristine lands in the central northern woods above the Marketplace sits several mansions which serve as the place of residence of many. The houses provide large libraries in which to study, as well as great work spaces for craftsmen and scientific minds. Though Bristle Crios proudly supports their open door policy, there are many seen and unseen guards protecting the grounds to maintain safety. Each "house" is devoted to those with a certain specialization to allow for continued support. The House Leaders each report to Miranda Branson since Morgan's death. (Link) In his honor, his mansion, the largest house on the grounds, is used as a Welcome Center and doubles as a meeting place for coven gatherings.
Bristle Crios remains active in the Rhydin community. They hold many events all year long, though their annual moon events hold strong. In February, the Snow Moon event hosts fun winter activities. In June, the Rose Moon features summery fun flowers. In October, the Blood Moon holds entertaining fall games. Food, drinks, activities, and fun songs are featured at all events. Many events are done in conjunction with the Rings of Honor, such as pillow and jello fights. (Link) Bristle Crios has also been known to include charitable events to raise funds for many causes in Rhydin, especially the Rhydin Orphanage.
Offering even more to the community, in September of 2012, Bristle Crios founded The Academy of Bristle Crios. (Link) Its mission is to provide education to all despite age, race, or reputation. Classes are open enrollment and a seat is always available for all classes. Classes are available during the day and nights for maximum convenience for all schedules. Costs are minimal and financial assistance is available for all who apply. The Science Wing focuses on natural science, social sciences, formal science, engineering, and technology. The Mage Hall focuses on elemental magic, body controlling magic, mental-based magic, and other forms of magic. The Physical Principles Center focuses on non-combat physical skills. The Combat Annex focuses on melee fighting styles, melee weapons, and ranged weapons.
