Brandon Zimmerset

Brandon Zimmerset is the former Margrave of Westruun, Tal'Dorei. He was appointed after the Chroma Crisis and held the position until 822 PD.

Personality
After his appointment as Margrave, Zimmerset planned to restore Westruun to his former glory and had worries he shared with his councilors about the level of organization of the Ravagers.

History
Appointed after the Chroma Crisis, in the peace that followed, Zimmerset wanted to restore Westruun to its former glory, a plan resented by some rebellious Westruunian students and traders who believe Westruun was never "glorious" under the rule of a margrave. Zimmerset resides with his family in the Margrave's Keep in Westruun's Opal Ward.

At some point in 812 PD, in the Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting adventure hook Counter-espoinage, Zimmerset was nearing the end of a three-year investigation into the Clasp's headquarters in Westruun, with information on Spirelings Gholesh, Oalan, and Fetch. However, unbeknownst to the margrave, he has been given misinformation by secret Clasp plant Winston Destwiler and the Clasp leaders, aware of his investigation, had set into motion a plot to ambush and assassinate the margrave. Seemingly, as neither the Spirelings were caught nor was Zimmerset assassinated, neither of the plans were successful.

Durin his time as margrave, he also authorized hundreds of reconstruction bounties in order to rebuild the city's damages following the Chroma Conclave and Herd of Storms' destruction. These bounties were fulfilled by the League of Miracles in only a few years, leaving Zimmerset unable to pay the debt.

In 822 PD, Zimmerset, having come to be regarded as a tyrant, was overthrown by a group of idealists called the Retrievers, with the aid of adventurers and mercenaries. The Retrievers instated their leader, Lysandra Kallos, as the new head of Westruun, who abolished the postion of Margrave in the city in favor a new democratically elected position, the Lord Mayor.
