[b]Bio:[/b]

Dr. Peadar Browning was born into one of Tirna-Sorset’s upper middle class family, a family of social strivers. Peadar was taught how to read and write at an early age and soon amassed an impressive library that contained everything from plays, treatises, works of fiction, and political tracts. He had dreams of one day becoming a writer, but he was pushed by his father to practice medicine. He acquiesced to his father’s wishes, but continued to write on the side as he studied.  

Under the pseudonym of E.G. Rathais, Peadar published the best-selling adventure serial [i]The Bowrocker.[/i] Further successful Rathais works followed. There was the sweeping epic [i]A Kinsman's Journey[/i], the romantic and bawdy [i]Tales of a Country Wench[/i], and the runaway successful novel [i]The Life of Callum Creag[/i] that was published in several languages across the world. While the name Rathais became an international celebrity, it didn't provide much future so Dr. Peadar Browning quietly continued to practice medicine by day and write at night. 

Among his closest patients were a duke and his wife. The duke and duchess were part of a small group of nobles who were beginning to grow disenchanted with Aenda’s regency.  They invited Browning to meetings where they discussed the rights of nobility, the aristocracy, and who should rule. Motivated by these discussions, Browning wrote a series of essays under the pen name Publius, the essays were titled [i]Thoughts on Constitutional Monarchy[/i]. The works called for making the royal family powerless figureheads while a governing council made up of the nobles ran the country with evenly divided power. The duke and duchess provided the seed money for publishing. The essays, published during the height of Aenda’s war with the gentry, sent shockwaves through the nation. The followup pamphlet [i]Thoughts on Self-Determination[/i] was even more radical and called for a mixed government of nobles and commoners elected directly by the kingdom's land owners. After the brief civil war's end the duke and duchess were arrested by the army. Under duress they confessed that Browning was Publius. The good doctor was arrested and served six agonizing months in a dungeon before he was shoved on a ship and sent across the water to Uponhill. 

Browning was party to the hellacious first year the colony suffered. Like the rest of the town he suffered disease and starvation. As a doctor, he did what he could for those in need of his help. Those he could not help he helped bury. The first year is now over and Browning, emaciated and constantly sick due to his weak constitution, serves as just one of two doctors the town has. He helps the people of the colony where and when he can. In his free time he continues to secretly write political tracts that concern the radical ideas of self-governance hoping to one day find an audience that is ready for his ideas.
