Urag

In the pursuit of ever-greater strength, Urag severed his own arm, replacing it with a sinister flail to show his incomparable power and innate superiority... at least, so say the rumors that have spread among the Wolfriders of Belleron. If nothing else, such rumors help to keep them in line. Born into the Fiercewind Clan, Urag followed their ancient traditions from a young age, considering himself a kindred spirit to wolves in all their ferocity. As a child, he would climb mountains in an attempt to capture his own wolf and gain his clan's recognition. But after enduring a fierce attack by a pack of wolves, the young Orc lost his arm, and almost lost his life.

Concluding that the one-armed boy would never become a Wolfrider, the elders of the Fiercewind Clan recommended that Urag's father offer him as a sacrifice at the Wolf Shrine. But his father refused. An Orcish blacksmith fashioned a crude blade to replace Urag's arm, and his father subjected the boy to a severe training regimen, turning his weakness into his greatest strength. At the age of 17, Urag conquered his own fear and returned to the mountains where he had lost his arm. Some days later he returned, riding a wolf of his own, to be recognized as a true Wolfrider.

When the Orcs waged a war of aggression, Urag and his Wolfriders rode into battle. Under his father's command, the Wolfriders launched a raid against the unsuspecting Elves. But the Elven army were prepared. Led by a pair of powerful mages known as the "Jade Twins", they launched a magical attack which took the life of Urag's father, leaving the Wolfriders in disarray. Seeing his own death on the horizon, Urag gathered every last ounce of strength and blew his father's legendary hunting-horn, bringing forth a sound that shook the heavens and stunned the battlefield into silence. Led by Urag, the Wolfriders regrouped, launching a final charge at the Elves. With a deft swing of his blade-arm, he took the heads of the twin mages clean off.

Under the terms of the Treaty of Saethmont, the Fiercewind Clan were forbidden from conducting raids in Tamaris, threatening the clan's ancient traditions. In an agreement with Wilderburg Chieftain Dattara, conducted in an atmosphere of ice-cold relations, Urag agreed to head to Belleron, where he could carry on the clan's ancient way of life. Though far from home, the freezing cold weather of Belleron provided the Wolfriders an opportunity to train and become stronger, even taking part in the great war against the Frost Dragon. As a symbol of friendship between the Dwarves and Elves, a Dwarven blacksmith refashioned Urag's arm into a terrifying flail, a weapon in his fight against the threat of darkness.
