Overview
Bragansas, colloquially but somewhat inaccurately thought of as the Tombshadows of the Shaarara Tlar, are actually a phenomenon recognized by many cultures. And, like other gwomes in Aoselke, they were excellent makers of texture flags.
Access
Plaque is very close to the Kennington Tube station, at the corner of Braganza and De Laune Street (on the De Laune side).

Text of the Marker
The part of the story installed here:
Bragansas
This two-dimensional form is a bragansa, a Cognate word which can be crudely translated as “spirit door” or “tombshadow,” but really meant something a bit more playful and mischievous. The Sharaara Tlar, the people of this area, which was an island before it was a river’s side, believed that you shared your home with the spirits of the children you didn’t have by the person you didn’t marry. In fact, in some sects, you did not exist, but they did.
