Udora

"I tend to not work with udoras and the likes, heard that they ate babies !!!"

— Eddie The Coward.

History


According to ancient legends, the Udoras were born by accident. Formerly an ancient clan of High-Elves, devoted exclusively to a worship of Olbium, the god of mischief and change.

But Kione, the goddess of torture who wanted worshipers of the cult, fomented a trick to take the place of Olbium in the elven cult, and thus be able to convince many elves to worship to her.

Kione devoured Olbium, who in the intestine of this filthy God was transformed, then digested before being defecated. These remains then gave birth to Azros, god of hatred, a tortured and monstrous being, who then got banned from High-Elves beliefs.

The ruse of Kione only deceived a small group of Wood-Elves, who became the Dark-Elves, who let themselves be duped and made themselves known and followed her in the Underdark.

Guided by their prophet Nymzyr Godearn, the Dark-Elves initiated themselves to the worship of Kione and later became the Drows. Those who remained faithful to Olbium remained, underwent a similar mutation to represent the lost and transformation of their god, and became the Udoras.

The Udoras then created small bastions nestled in the mountains of provinces while others formed communities, where most of the udoras now live.
