Iorek Ursabane

Iorek’s life was born into content. His mother left her home in a village of Rausumea to wed a husband in the nomadic tribe of Wo-Kyrr. As a child Iorek was treated as an abomination by the people within his tribe, they looked down upon him for not being a pure blooded Wo-Kyrrin. When he reached the age of 12, Iorek suffered a great tragedy. An epidemic had wiped out half of the Wo-Kyrrin tribe and his parents were among the many casualties. Iorek then lived with one of the Wo-Kyrrin families whom were forced to take him in. After another few years Iorek realized that no matter how hard he tried to fit in the people of Wo-Kyrr would never accept him. Iorek packed up what he could of his personal belongings and before leaving Wo-Kyrr he stole his father’s hammer from a shrine built in his father’s honor. One day during his travels of solitude, while preparing a recently killed deer, Iorek was attacked by the Bloodfury tribe of the Uruk-Hai. After fighting fiercely with his father’s hammer and killing two Uruks Iorek was taken into captivity. As a slave Iorek was once again treated as an outsider. The other slaves feared him for being a vagabond and often separated him from the rest of the slaves. A small group of the slaves had been going around and stealing food from the other slaves and when they saw Iorek they decided to take his rations as well. The small band sent their best fighter to attack Iorek during feeding time, but Iorek saw the attack coming and after a great struggle, in a fit of rage, Iorek killed the other slave. Talic the head uruk of Bloodfury had witnessed Iorek’s fighting skills the day he was captured and once again when he had killed a fellow slave. Thinking that Iorek might serve the tribe better as a warrior than a slave Talic gave Iorek the chance to be an Uruk-Hai soldier. Talic put Iorek under the ownership of Dune, one of Talic’s most trusted uruks and entrusted Dune with watching over their new recruit. Iorek was by then trained the barbarian Madog who had sworn allegiance to the Uruk-Hai. Unbeknownst to Iorek, Madog was also the Jarl of Rausumea. After months of service in the Uruk-Hai Iorek decided it was time to challenge Dune for his freedom. Although he had lost the battle against Dune, Dune decided to grant Iorek his freedom that he had fought hard for. Now free to come and go as he pleases within Bloodfury Iorek was pondering what to do with his new found freedom. Should he go visit the people who hated him his whole life or stay with Bloodfury and hammer his own path amongst the uruks


Origins of the Ursabane Name

I have not been witness to these events fore they had transpired before my birth. My father before marrying an outsider and creating an abomination, before becoming a village hero, he was an ordinary citizen of the Wo-Kyrrin. My father Ivoryn Krempach as he was called back then was your average nomad of Wo-Kyrr. He would hunt and farm like everyone else and when it called for it he would fight to protect Wo-Kyrr. One day a large bear, much larger than any bear the Wo-Kyrrin had ever seen, attacked the village of Wo-Kyrr. This was the first of many attacks by the bear that left many people injured and huts shattered. Ursadamon or “demon bear” as the Wo-Kyrrin came to call him attacked at random always doing massive damage during his rampages. Ivoryn growing sick of the bears constant assault on the tribe rallied together some of Wo-Kyrr’s best warriors and devised a plan to slay the gargantuan beast. He armed himself with a dagger and a war hammer and led the men out of the village in the direction that Ursadamon normally came from for his attacks. It wasn’t long before the bear happened upon the small group of warriors and caught the men off guard. The bear’s massive paws immediately crushed two of the warriors and the other warriors panicked. Flailing their swords and spears at the bear the warriors quickly forgotten the plan that Ivoryn had set out for them. No matter how loud he yelled to his fellow warriors none of them listened. It was not long before Ursadamon overcame them and Ivoryn was all that was left. Ivoryn realizing that his odds had quickly decreased grabbed a nearby spear and threw it at Ursadamon. In a rage the bear chase Iorek on his horse that led the bear to a nearby gorge. This small gorge was where Ivoryn originally planned to lure the bear to and with the help of the other warriors slay the demonic bear. After abandoning his horse Ivoryn climbed down the rocky ledge into the gorge knowing that Ursadamon was not far behind. Once Ivoryn reached the bottom Ursadamon cleared the top slope of the gorge and barreled down the ledge his bloodthirsty heart set on killing Ivoryn. Prepared to stand and fight Ivoryn began swing his hammer in large arches trying to keep the distance between his and the bear. As is to crush Ivoryn’s hopes Ursadamon caught the haft of the hammer in his jaws and shattered it like a small tree. With his hammer gone Ivoryn sprinted to the far ledge behind him and drew his dagger. When the bear charged him Ivoryn threw the dagger into the goliath bear’s left leg. Tumbling from this sudden strike Ursadamon collided into the side of the ledge. Ivoryn seeing his chance to escape ran back to the ledge he climbed down from, but he was not quick enough. Ursadamon recovered from his fall then furiously charged forward towards Ivoryn. Seeing that the bear would reach him before he got to the ledge Ivoryn changed directions and dove for his broken hammer. Gripping what was left of the haft with both hands Ivoryn hurled the hammer at the on coming Ursadamon. With the combined speed of the bear’s charge and the hammerhead, spinning through the air, the hammer shattered Ursadamon’s skull killing the bear mid charge. The now limp body’s momentum carried it forward pinning Iorek against a nearby rock face. When the rest of the Wo-Kyrrin had finally found Ivoryn and freed him from Ursadamon’s dead body they praised him as a hero. He was no longer known as Ivoryn Kempach he became known as the champion, Ivoryn Ursabane.
