Duôr Bright-helm

A man from Dul-Ünin of the Elder Age, Duôr was born in the city Lorn, center of Dul-Ünin, the northern region of Naren Vale.  Duôr was the son of Luôr, lord of Lorn and king of Dul-Ünin, Duôr was also the brother of Nuôr and Yllesa.  Duôr was tall, and strong, with blue eyes and and sandy brown hair, like most people of Dul-Ünin, while his older brother was shorter and stocky, like his father's people, the Northern Wilders.  When he was sixteen, Nuôr was killed by orcs at the Sirdua River, the border between the Vale and the Davanian Wastes, but before Duôr could avenge his brother's death, his father sent him away to war against the men from Rith.  There Duôr proved his prowess in combat by defeating the Rith in battle.  After that, Duôr traveled around, far from his home; he went to Turthulion, Mount Thärheim, Arkicum, and the Numinean Wilds.  After his travels, Duôr came home and became lord of the Dul-Ünin after his father's death at the Sixth Battle of Naren Vale.  He married Korinë from the city Kel, she was the daughter of Hadrac, the lord of the city.  He had children and lived as lord in Lorn for many years, but then Nulcarn the Blighted, the Fallen One, raised another great host after his defeat at the Sixth Battle of the Vale, led by his servant, Tyris the Black.  The Telnar allied with the elves and marched against Nulcarn's invasion.  Duôr led his army from Dul-Ünin to Baragrond, the dread fortress of Nulcarn.  There, at the foot of the Iron Citadel, the Alliance fought the Battle of Sorrow, where 70,000 men alone died; Duôr, during the battle, killed Guargamauth, Lord of Bogloths, who had killed his father and he maimed Tyris by cutting of his right arm and gouging out his left eye.  The Scourge marched to Lorn, where the remnants of the Alliance army were forced to protect the city and the Vale from the Underborn army.  During the Siege of Lorn, Duôr killed the four monstrous bogloth guards of Nulcarn and wounded the Fallen God himself.  Duôr was then brutally slain by the bleeding god, though the forces of Lorn drove away the scattering Underborn horde while Nulcarn fled.  Duôr had a grand funeral, all of Dul-Ünin attended along with tmen from around the Vale, elves from Lorthori and the dwarves of Thärheim.  He had three sons; Hurmbar, Nuôr, and Donan.  Donan's great-grandson Kollanus was adopted by Ascerean VIII, had a son of his own, Kallen, Magus Imperator after the short reign of his father.  Kallen defeated Nulcarn, bringing peace to Mundus and the Theden Empire.
