Old Bram Holloway
Keeper of the Grounds
An elderly man with moss-covered boots and a lantern staff. Kind, strange, and deeply connected to the natural world. Tends the magical forest, cares for creatures, and repairs damaged grounds. The trees whisper to him. "The forest remembers things the school forgets."
About Old Bram Holloway
Bram Holloway tends the academy grounds as though they are a conversation rather than a property. He prunes argumentative hedges, negotiates with nesting creatures, and walks the forest boundary each evening with a lantern staff wrapped in living vine. Doors that ignore most people have been known to open for him.
He teaches creature care by observation and patience, never by force. Students who help without being asked may earn a story about the oldest parts of the campus. Those stories are difficult to verify, but the trees often lean closer while he tells them.
