Urdos Thunderhammer | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Urdos is almost always clothed in brown, supple leather or cloth. Noteworthy is the fact that he almost always has a small drape with a bird-stand on it pinned to his right shoulder, so that Occolo can rest at his side. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Biography | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
Urdos was born in a small village at the edge of the mountain range of Pirra, as the son of the local horsesmith. The village lies in an otherwise inaccessible valley, surrounded by the icy tundra's all the way except for the north where the mountains begin. The village itself was a peaceful one, with many traditions, most of which where invented over the years to keep everybody happy during the long periods of winter in which there was not much to do besides survival. One of these traditions was that the village "Okranna", the eldest and wisest person (be he male/female, dwarf/human/elf, or otherwise), every 5 years chose two of the children that had come of age that year to serve him/her for the next 5 years. Invariably, these chosen ones came back with more knowledge of nature and sorcery than most in the village, and while some of them left the village to become Okranna somewhere else, most stayed and bestowed their wisdom on the village in turn. As it turned out, Urdos was chosen along with a female dwarf named Kurena in the year that he came of age. Of course they had known each other before, and they already had a special sort of friendship between them (although they were never lovers, nor did one of them declare that intention). Both Urdos and Kurena were very happy to be chosen, and gladly joined the Okranna in his home just outside the village, on a hilltop overlooking the valley. Four years passed in peace. Both Urdos and Kurena turned out to be excellent students; because other than most of the chosen ones, both of them turned out to have some innate ability to shape magic. Kurena was best at this, though not by much. Conversely, Urdos was best in the physical activities, mostly the bow (which was a village tradition also), though not by much. In these years, Urdos learned a bit of the arcane, most notably how to summon his own riding wolf. He also gained the trust of a small snow owl, which he named Occolo, after the sound the little owl made when hooting. Then an unfortunate incident happened. While on a spirit-quenching journey that the Okranna had them make, to "embrace survival in the tundra as an art", they had wandered too far and gotten themselves lost on the icy plains. Shivering around a small campfire they tried to warm themselves in the cold night, when all of a sudden a regiment of strangely clad and very long humans attacked them. There were too many. Both Kurena and Urdos fought bravely but they did not stand a chance. Urdos got knocked out, his last vision that of his friend Kurena surrounded by the men. On some strange stroke of luck, Urdos awoke the next morning with a headache amidst the battlefield. The men had left him there, probably to die on his own on the plains. They had probably taken Kurena though, because Urdos did not find a sign of her in any direction. Doubly unfortunate was the fact that Kurena was always the better tracker; however he managed to pick up a faint trail with the help of Occolo, and began to follow it, knowing that the Okranna would not have it otherwise. After three long days of traveling, the climate seemed to change a bit. And after yet another day Urdos found himself in the middle of a thick jungle, staring at a distant hilltop on which some sort of castle was visible. As far as he could tell the tracks ran straight on to it. Determined, he made his way through the unfamiliar territory and arrived at the gates the next morning. Just as he was deciding on his next course of action, the gates of the mighty castle opened, and a carriage and a cart came out. On the cart was Kurena! Bound to a pole, barely dressed and at least severely wounded, but Urdos did not think to stop to see if she was dead or alive -- she had to be freed! From the covered location that he was sitting in, behind one of the many thick trees in the jungle, he began to fire his deadly arrows. Each one of them hit their exact target; each one killed one of the horses that bore the carriage and the cart, until after merely half a minute of firing both carriage and cart had ground to a halt. None of this appeared to have any effect for a while, which seemed strange to Urdos; just as he was about to approach the carriage however, one single elf stepped out of it. He was dressed in a robe, covered with many strange and some familiar symbols; clearly this was a great wizard, and he did not look very pleased with this turn of events. Urdos knew he did not really stand a chance; nevertheless he aimed his bow straight at the wizard's heart. At the exact moment that he fired however, the wizard looked straight at him; and his image seemed to grow in Urdos' mind, and he could do naught but stand there, clinging to his sanity while he listened to his Okranna's voice draining away, his childhood memories fading... At that moment the arrow hit the wizard, for all of the magic disappeared suddenly. Urdos felt very faint, but managed to scramble away from his discovered hiding place. He dare not go back to the wizard that nearly killed him, even though he did not know Kurena"s fate; all he knew was that he needed treatment soon or else he would still die... He walked for about an hour in a random direction before he collapsed. When he next woke, he found himself in a strange bed, in a strange chamber. Scared, he gathered his stuff and was about to get away when the door opened and a halfling walked in, exclaiming 'oh you're awake! please don't go yet!'. As it turned out, Urdos had the fortune of being rescued by the local village's huntress, Li-esa, who was curious about the dwarf lying in 'her' woods with an obviously magical bow. Urdos had slept for about 7 days before awakening. Each day she had treated him with her knowledge of the forest herbs. She had saved his life. Urdos stayed at Li-esa's place for a while until he was completely recovered. Then, he bade her farewell, repeating that he owed her his life, and that one day he would be back to exact his revenge from the elven wizard. They parted on friendly terms. Since then, Urdos has not dared to go back to his Okranna. He believes he must free Kurena before he can go back. He secretly hopes that the Okranna believes him and Kurena dead, and therefore he does not want any of his village people and or relatives to know that he is alive. This is why he is very untrusting of strangers until he gets to know them better. All of the events above took place about one year before. Urdos still hasn't found out anything else about the wizard, but he does know that he will have to gain much in power before he has a chance to beat him. Which is why he is traveling throughout the land, doing the occasional mercenary job to hone his bow-skills. One day, he swears, he will get his revenge! |
