Igor Werba
Tzar Igor Werba (a.k.a. the Bear)
Tzar Igor had been a great leader in his time. Perhaps he was best known for his faithful companion Ursun, a great brown bear. It is said that in his youth Tzar Igor had gone deep into the Hinwald in order to prove himself in the depths and wilds of the forest. There, as he fought the monsters of the forest, he was stalked by a great bear. This continued for weeks until, after Igor's sword had snapped in great duel with a stonehorn and his armour was sliced apart in a fight with a bull wyvern, the great bear emerged from the forest to face Igor. The two fought hand to claw for a day and a night until both fell dying in forest clearing. As Igor told it, the morning snow had woken him, its chill had filled him with life and as he rose, he saw that the bear too pushed itself to its feet. An understanding had bloomed between the two and Igor had run his hands through the matted fur of his new companion. He had ridden the great bear that he had named Ursun out of the forest and back into the lands of Moskav.
In the Loxodon invasion Tzar Igor and Ursun had stayed in the mountains to prowl the frozen mountains for enemies and keep safe the shrine of Aurillia. No one has seen the Tzar or his bear since that fateful time near a decade ago.
