Brownsword Piper

"Brownsword". Is this a name of person, or an artifact upon which a story revolves?

Story (or back story) idea:
Piper on a hill, warned that enemy is coming so takes his listening group of children beneath the hill in tunnels. No survivors are left, so no one tells them it's safe to leave. They are left to legend. Eventually a castle is built on the hill,... it degenerates and becomes ruins... but flute melodies are still sometimes heard.

  1. My dad says...

    Brownsword: One of the tunnels opens up into a vast cave system with strange luminescence 1,(and other "magical" properties). Plants grow there. (food) the people age little or not at all. Or 2. Many generations pass and now there are many living in the caverns.

    The piper had previously lived in the opening of the tunnel system and had his deed for the hill top with him and eventually when he or his descendents emerge he/they try to lay claim to the land which had by now been developed into ?...

    Hey I think I'd be good at this kind of stuff.
