Urist

Urist Goblinbane was the only child of Üdul, and father to Malvik, Alrik, Thorek II and Melvig. Urist was the twenty-second King-In-Exile, inheriting the title from his granfather, Urin, who had raised him due to his father being murdered prior to his birth. When his first child, Malvik, was slain by a troll at the age of eight, Urist was rightfully upset, and began a hunt for the beast. When he discovered that it was, in fact, a 'pet' to a group of goblins, whom had purposefully set it on the child, Urist became enraged and slayed them. However, Urist did not stop there, and for this reason he is well known.

As Urist, alone, set out into Goblin Country, and there slayed goblins onmasse. He left entire villages in ruin, and scattered the beings. He even made his way into the home of the Goblin King and did there slay him, decapitated him, and brought the head home as a trophy. It is for his feats in these lands that he was given the title of Goblinbane.

Upon his return, Urist found that his only living child at the time, Alrik, had been kept and raised by his great uncle Thorek. As thanks, Urist named his next child Thorek II, whom many have said also has the Goblinbane blood running through him. Finally, Urist had one last child, Melvig.

At some stage in the late Fourth Age, Urist gave up his title of King-In-Exile to his son, Alrik. It is theorised that after this, Urist was recruited into the Hariel Knights for his skills.
