Originally from [[Gordohse]], Mortel lived in [[Barudse]] and served as the commander of a number of expeditions to the far east. The goal of the expeditions was to provide [[Emperor Hun]] with intelligence regarding possible expansion. Mortel managed to reach the ocean, but the expedition did not discover any human settlements. It is after this that Emperor Hun felt it safe to claim the lands east of the Quoon river, although historians typically ignore this claim and paint Barud's borders strictly to the west of Quoon. | Originally from [[Gordohse]], Mortel lived in [[Barudse]] and served as the commander of a number of expeditions to the far east.
