Ur

Ur, the First, Master of Masters, formerly known as Gehorod, is the eldest of all the Masters of Tumiun, the guardians of the domains of this world. He was the first child born of a union between the two Highborn races, the Hirumai and Silaman. Ur sits at the head of the council of Masters, overseeing the world.

Biography
It was many thousands of years ago when Gehovar the Explorer, the First Silaman to reach the shores of Berenost, took a Hirumaian woman as his own and forced his child upon her. This act of utmost cruelty was balanced by the creation of a being of beauty and light. While Gehovar had hoped for the child to be a loyal son and heir, he was gifted something far more powerful. The child was born deep in the night, a boy as his father had hoped. Gehovar named his son Gehorod, Walker of Night, though his mother did not live to hear that name spoken.

Gehorod grew slowly as a boy, and spoke only in short sentences soft as whispers. His hair was mostly dark with locks of gold here and there, and he was described by Gehovar as having eyes with light of both sun and moon within. It wasn't long before the boy began to realize what power he had in him. He had a way with words like no other being, even if those words were few. It is said that one night, a young Gehorod was able to talk the Silaman at his father's side into following the boy into the woods, where he then convinced them all to rid themselves of their own lives. What happened to Gehovar is unknown, nothing was heard of him since that night.

Gehorod went on to search for others like him, those who called themselves the Quantar, Halfborn. Many among them were imprisoned by their fathers, bred and used for their unique powers. Gehorod succeeded in freeing the others in what is now known as the Great Uprising. Those with powers fled the Silaman camps in the western mountains of Ambaronau, and went into the world to use their skills for good. Now, thousands of years later, the Masters govern the whole of Tumiun as best they can. And still they are led by Gehorod, whom they now call Ur, the First, Master of Masters.

Powers
Ur oversees the Masters, and all their actions. It is said that from his high seat he watches over the world, seeing and hearing all that goes on, in all lands. The Masters look to him for council and advice, and take his word as final. Some even say that Ur is able to see things that have not yet happened in our time, and that he is often known to speak in riddles and prophecies.
