Saint Bragi (Japanese: 聖者ブラギ Saint Blagi), also referred to as Archbishop Bragi (Japanese: 大司祭ブラギ Archbishop Blagi), was a member of the Twelve Crusaders of Jugdral, the original wielder of the Valkyrie Staff, and the founder of both Grannvale's House Edda and the Church of Edda.
Biography
In his youth, Bragi was captured in the child hunts and was to be sacrificed, but was rescued from captivity by a Maerist Loptrian and adopted him. He was raised as a Maerist Loptrian in Orgahil, becoming a bishop of the faith. Like the other Maerist Loptrians, he sought to help the people of Jugdral, which led him to join the revolutions against the Loptrian Empire at a young age.[1] Eventually, by the year Grann 642, Bragi was among the survivors barricaded in Dahna Fortress, after the tide turned against their movement and the Loptrian Empire's forces overwhelmed the revolution. It was at this fortress that the Miracle of Dahna occurred, changing the fate of the world: Bragi was chosen by an unidentified member of the twelve dragon "gods" who descended upon the fortress, to undergo a blood-bond with said dragon, transforming him into one of the Crusaders. He was granted the Valkyrie Staff by this dragon. Afterward, he emerged from Dahna with the other Crusaders and fought in the remainder of the Holy War.
At the war's conclusion, he joined with Heim and five other Crusaders to set up the Kingdom of Grannvale, establishing House Edda with himself as its first duke; some time afterward, Bragi returned to Orgahil and found his Maerist conclave had been wiped out in his absence. This motivated him to start the Church of Edda, a structured faith which returned to the pre-Loptrian religious concepts of Jugdral, in order to help the people of Jugdral recover from the centuries of Loptrian domination. He also constructed the Bragi Tower as a memorial to the lost Maerists who raised him and as a reminder to the world that not all Loptrians were evil.[2] Bragi wished to ensure that Loptrians were not persecuted in the post-Loptrian Empire world, inscribing this message on a plaque in Bragi Tower, but his message was ignored and forgotten and the Bragi Tower message was later erased.[3]
