King Brandan of Mahorg
Christina Weigand
I am a prince of Crato, King of Mahorg and Master Wizard
Brandan.
What is your biggest regret?
Missing out on the love of my family, especially my brother
King Joachim and my son (It would be a spoiler if I gave you his name).
What makes you angry?
As a child, what did you aspire to be when you grew up?
Supreme ruler and wizard of all of Ramajadin.
Describe your family.
The first thing I shall share with you is that I am a twin,
Joachim is my brother. We are the sons of King Theodric and Queen Lilia of
Crato.
Tell us something about the religions and politics of your world.
Each of the four countries, Crato, Mahorg, Grillwood and Imherp
is ruled by a king. Crato has an Council
that serve as advisors to the king. Mahorg is ruled by the king alone and
recently I have served in that position.
Describe how your system of magic works in your world.
Magic and religion are tied together. Our god is Asha and the
rules of magic serve to honor him. Magic performed by the followers of Asha is
only performed to as a last measure and only for the purpose of healing the
people or the land. And even then healing of people is only done if the illness
or injury cannot be healed by human measures and threatens the life of the
person. I personally prefer the magic of
Sidramah. I suppose you could call him Satan. His magic has no rules and is fed
by negative emotions such as hatred, anger and jealousy. It can be used anytime
the wielder feels the need to use it. Definitely my kind of magic.
Describe what it was like for you growing up
Not a pleasant experience that I care to dwell on. Suffice it
to say that my twin was the favored son and in my father’s eyes I never
measured up. Everything came easily to him while I although not struggling
excelled at things that did not appeal to my father, like fighting and dark
magic.
Do you feel like you have a handle on your destiny or do you and your author constantly argue over it?
I think it’s a little bit of both. Most of the time I am in
control. I recall a time when she wanted to write the story one way and my
brother and I didn’t like it. So we went on strike until she threw her ideas
out and did it the way we wanted. There was another instance where she had some
plans. I didn’t care for them, but knew it had to happen. In the end she
compromised and we both got some of what we wanted.
What's more important to you; to live in a world with a family who loves and respects you OR to live in a world where you get to experience one intensely emotional and physical romantic relationship?
Having had an ill-fated marriage that ended in a way that I
would prefer not to discuss that a romantic relationship is not high on my
list. I spent many years trying to make my family love me only to discover that
I really didn’t have to try so hard. My twin brother always loved me no matter
what I did. I am sorry that it took me so long to realize that.
