Zuvilriun

When Soular Power first encountered Zuvilriun, he was next in line to be the chieftain of the Mau orcs.¹ He seemed like the embodiment of pure strength, dual-wielding two massive jagged pieces of metal, larger than they had any right to be - and more like crosses between a club and a sword than a true sword - as if they weighed nothing. He was sent along with Soular Power on their mission to reclaim Malzrog's Temple, and held some animosity towards Fritz for being the chosen wielder of Volendrung.

He quickly proved himself to be a coward and an incompetent fighter, insisting that the party enter the temple ahead of him and cowering behind them at any sign of danger, and proving to be more a hindrance than an asset in combat.² Upon taking an unconscious oni prisoner, the party left him behind with Zuvilriun near the entrance of the temple in an attempt to keep Zuvilriun from hurting himself or others.

When the oni regained consciousness, it was a panicked Zuvilriun who found the party and warned them, sending them fleeing further into the temple - into the inner sanctum of Morpheus' Cult - for a short breather.³ In his brief attempt to be useful in combat, Zuvilriun was petrified by a stone giant, and had to be dragged back into Mau on a sled. The Chieftain and tribesmen were furious upon seeing this, but the appearance of Malzrog himself, furious at the chieftain for sending the weakest of his blood to reclaim his temple, allowed the party to escape the wrath of Mau for the moment.⁴

Zuvilriun had not yet been un-petrified when the party fled Mau, and as his claim to power in Mau, his father the Chieftain, was cursed and disowned, his current status is unknown.
