Uroh Soader
Uroh Shoa Soader /'ʃwɑ 'swɑdər/ (c. 1505 - 1611 SR) was a Jeen of Delavire and Lora, Jeenor of the Lora army, then a courtier at Dyfy Toarlameek's court, notable for supervising her personal entourage and having obtained longevity through the powers of the superhero warrior Lotyfa. He then played a role in the Gonne slave uprising led by Mon Lon Dōrs.
Military career
Uroh Soader served in Delavire and seen action in campaigns against Darfe Goldoor, the Lorians and the Kippies. During the campaign of 1549-1550 that saw the defeat of Goldoor's toor, Uroh Soader was appointed Jeen and became friendly with Tos Toarlameek and his Jeenor, Uroh Sōgra.
He returned with them to Lora and then served in Lora's army. He led several successful battles against the Lorians between 1552 and 1557, including the 1556 battle on Quoon West which saw the warlord of the Mos tribe Hoton Dorva killed, ending the dominance of the Mos and leading to their decisive defeat one year earlier under Lora. This cemented Uroh Soader's reputation and he was appointed Jeenor or Lora's army by Uroh Sōgra. In 1559, however, Uroh Soader resigned his position and retired from the army, although he was only in his early 50s at the time.
Courtier to Dyfy Toarlameek
Uroh Soader was appointed by Dyfy Toarlameek as head of her guard in 1567 SR, almost immediately when she took power. He was given the title of Uroh then. Two years later she moved into one of Kopchungoh's keeps, which today is known as Dyfy's Keep. Uroh Soader and the rest of the personal guards moved into the keep, as well as a number of courtiers and messengers. Lotyfa was kept in a secret room.
Over the next 30 years Uroh Soader would serve as the main representative of Dyfy Toarlameek on the international stage, leading many of the negotiations and traveling across Qep and Mantar on Dyfy's orders. Due to the erratic ideas of Dyfy, Uroh Soader's image suffered over the years and he was regarded as a nuisance, since whatever he would come with would be mostly useless and something that the court at Lora would usually quietly override.
Role in the abuse of Lotyfa
When it was revealed that Dyfy's longevity was due to the Wildling, as Lotyfa was known to the Kopchungoh's inhabitants, it became obvious that Uroh Soader had been around for a long time as well. According to the reports, he looked dramatically younger than his 100+ years and was as active and as strong as ever. Moreover, unlike Dyfy, who quickly aged and died after no longer being sustained by Lotyfa's powers, Uroh Soader seemed to have retained his relative youth and health, as well as gaining regeneration powers that made him almost invincible.
It was thus concluded that, one way or the other, but Uroh Soader was affected by Lotyfa's powers and that he had to know about the imprisonment.
Personal life
As a soldier, Jeen and later Jeenor, Uroh Soader was known as a brave and honest person. Straightforward, very candid and a bad politician. His rise in the army came through his acquaintance with Tos and Uroh Sōgra who were impressed with him, and he later solidified their trust by defeating the Mos. When he retired, he was considered a mage, an experienced and respected general who had seen and won some of the most glorious battles of Qep.
His image, however, began experiencing a continuous decline during his service as Dyfy's Head of Guard and then a courtier. Even without the knowledge of Lotyfa's imprisonment, Dyfy's Keep was considered a dark place and Uroh Soader became firmly associated with it.
When Lotyfa began to be known as an important force in Heran and made a strong impression on Moon King V, the story of her life became known and Uroh Soader instantly became a pariah. By this time Dyfy had already passed away and Soader returned back to Delavire. He was immediately asked to leave.
Uroh Soader did not have a family and his relationship with Dyfy did not seem to be of a romantic nature. Davi the Heranian writes that "he exhibited an almost filial devotion to her". The nature of his loyalty is not well understood, but is usually attributed to his closeness with the Toarlameeks, and a possible promise given to Tos before he disappeared.
Alongside Mon Lon Dōrs
On his way to Gonne, Uroh Soader was captured into slavery. He managed to flee Gonne alongside a former slave trader Mon Lon Dōrs, who then formed a gang of runaway slaves. They began raiding Gonne and freeing more slaves, slowly turning their gang into a several thousand-strong army, after which reinforcements from Ernele pushed them into Maird.
After several years of raids on Gonne, Mon Lon Dōrs marched on Delavire with a mere 4000 army and managed to defeat the city, with Uroh Soader fighting by his side. Two months later Mon Lon Dōrs led his now 7500-strong slave army on Gonne, but was defeated with the help of Moon King V. Mon Lon Dōrs managed to flee, but Uroh Soader was captured and executed, along with a number of others. This was discovered only later, to the great disappointment of Moon King V, who wanted to personally punish Soader for his treatment of Lotyfa.
