Listen, it’s been -checks- 28 pages since Brand got some form of naked. He was due, my shameless warrior.
Fun Behind the Scenes fact for ya: There’s an original draft where at some point Riven questioned Brand’s general lack of clothing given the weather of Edgemere and Brand responded that he just doesn’t like wearing too much clothing. As touched on in chapter 2, Fargloam has a much warmer climate than Edgemere, which generally facilitates running around in nothing but trousers.
