Urthwyte the Mighty



Urthwyte the Mighty was a male Badger Lord of Salamdandastron and the successor of his late brother Urthstripe. He was also the grandson of Loambudd and Urthclaw, and the son of Urthound and Urthrun. Urthwyte was an albino badger, covered in snowy-white fur and missing the characteristic black center stripe. His primary weapon was a large oaken war club. Like his brother, he was born in the autumn in the Southwest Lands and went on to be orphaned by the weasel Ferahgo the Assassin, who murdered his parents after promising to speak reasonably with them.

Ferahgo left the twin badger infints to die, as winter was approaching, but the hardy little beasts managed to survive. The were separated by unknown circumstances, and Urthwyte grew up with his grandmother Loambudd and her squirrel friend Ashnin on the island in the center of the Big Inland Lake. When the young badger Mara found him many seasons later, he traveled with her back to Salamandastron to help his brother in the final battle against Ferahgo and his horde. When Urthstripe died, taking Ferahgo with him, Urthwyte succeeded him as Lord of Salamandastron.

Urthwyte was known to be a bit slow and simple-minded, but extremely kind and gentle - when, of course, not affected by the Bloodwrath.
