Introduction
The age-old battles between the Dwürden and Murdrū of Vulmùra are legendary. Among the most retold of the legends are the stories of Irzzik the Ortor warlord who was blinded at the Battle of High Table in the latter part of the Second Age. The stories of Dwürden and Ortor diverge following the blinding of Irzzik, but both people agree that he was blinded by the Spear of Feldündurn. The Ortor account of the battle tells that Irzzik, enraged by the loss of his eyes, struck out at the Dwürden hero with his greatsword Magârzul and ran the crimson blade through the enemy’s heart. The Dwürden legend tells that Irzzik, pained and despairing, fled from the Battle of High Table to crawl and hide within the mountain crags where he plots eternal revenge.
The stories of Irzzik are renown among all Ortor for they are among the oldest surviving tales of the barbaric mountain people.
