The Empire of Viktorya's most prestigious institution, the Brom der Waals State Institute of Tiberia, derives its name from the Duchy of Tiberia's greatest folk hero, Brom der Waals.

Legend holds that Brom der Waals was born from the fruit of the tallest oak tree in the Hoernwaal, the tallest (if not longest) mountain chain in Viktorya. His father was the wind, and his mother the mountains. In his infancy, he cut down the tree that birthed him and built the first longship to sail to the Kraylings, an inhospitable yet mineral-rich island chain off the coast of the Tiberian peninsula. On Sorengard, the largest island, he sang to the soil and brought forth Ingotherung, the Sword of Godsfire. (An artifact thought to be Ingotherung currently resides in the Dammerhurst Museum in Hoernberg, the capital of Tiberia.)

With Ingotherung, Brom was fabled to have united the warring tribes of Tiberia and sailed forth to the lands of Myndrach across the Northern sea, where he led the Tiberians in many battles against the ethnic Serdragi enemies of the Hoernish (native to Tiberia) people.
