Urruni

Urruni was an armoursmith from northern Vedania. She was killed by a Kaalokun in an Sigvoskeran arena behind the wall of Azalid. She was a former lover of Kalar, and an employer of the mercenary Saetl.

Early Life
Urruni was born to the blacksmith Vanilak and his wife in the minor port city of Kerikat, in the north-eastern province of Tanalosk. Her mother passed away before her fifth winter, leaving her father to care for her. She grew up around vast amounts of weaponry, forged by her father for nobles and officers - and at a young age took interest in combat. By the age of ten, she trained alongside the local conscripts of the army, using a quarterstaff to emulate the weighted spears of the infantry. Aged twelve, she had gone through the training with three years worth of classes, having become adept at the spear, and able to use short blades - some of the more skilled recruits showing her how to fight with nothing more than the spear's haft.

In her fifteenth winter, Urruni's father was killed by her former lover. She was the sole inheritor of his property and money, and less than a year after his death she restarted his forge and set herself to creating armour. Initially working with leather, she eventually moved onto lighter steel mail.

Khaodric Expedition
After her sixteenth birthday, Urruni planned to travel to the homeland of the Khaodrim nations. Having heard rumours of their love of alchemy, she believed they must have come across exotic metals that could further her craft. Urruni left for Chálysoña some time during the summer of 1483, using the majority of her funds to join a caravan through the Eisijar mountains. She passed through the town of Matisadé later that season, and reached the capital in early autumn. There she met the recently released Saetl and his adoptive brother Kaedt. Upon learning of them being swords for hire, and that Saetl was desperate for coin after two years imprisoned, she hired the pair of them as escorts for her journey into the south-west.

Equipment
Urruni wore a set of armour made from chainmail and leather, reinforced with steel around the shins and forearms. The armour was lighter than typical Vedanian issue, but served her preference as a mobile attacker.

For a weapon, Urruni used a shortened polearm of Madarin design, with a sweeping blade adorned with an open-mouthed dragon's head. It was a fine work of craftsmanship, and was created by her father shortly before his death.
