	Before officially receiving arms, someone erroneously called him “Lord Bran”. It sounded and felt so viscerally discordant that he immediately went looking for something better, and found “Hlāford” (pronounced HLAH-ford; the H is a puff of air before _lah_). It was perfect. Early period, Old English, with an implication of service that really resonated. He'd found his title.		Before officially receiving arms, someone erroneously called him “Lord Bran”. It sounded and felt so viscerally discordant that he immediately went looking for something better, and found “Hlāford” (pronounced HLAH-ford; the H is a puff of air before _lah_).
