About this image
"Before Bravil was established, the Heartland Elves settled in the general area and during this time had a flourishing settlement that was much larger than Bravil. This settlement became the trading center of the Niben Bay area. During the second century of the first era, the Alessian Slave Rebellion began when Alessia rebelled against the Ayleids and sacked multiple cities, including this settlement.
The Alessian Army advanced south towards the Nibenay Valley and into the area around what is now Bravil. This resulted in a siege lead by Teo Bravillius Tasus, a centurion in the Alessian Ranks for whom the city is named."
I like how they don't give an actual crap about the guy who succesfully invaded one of the Ayleid's most important settlements in history ever. Like there's not even a statue.
Also there are zero traces of the previous ayleid occupation. I'm not sayin there has to be a second white gold tower but maybe some architectural details, or an artifact. Regulus Terentius probably selled everything for skooma, problem solved.

I do agree that there should have been a bit more hint as to the city's past in vanilla. The only real indication are the nearby Ayleid ruins- as that one scholar at the Mage's Guild chapter notes, there are a lot of them in the area. But more crumbling remains of the city's glory days would have been cool. As it it looks like a shantytown that sprang up only recently.
I am not much caught up in lore, but it seems unjust when it comes to modding = I would really like to see some pointers to the past every now and then.
Nice info by the way :)
