Lleuwen Orsingheim

Lleuwen Orsingheim, also known as Lleuwen the Raucous, was a 6th Century Flennish footknight and a member of the Guerr-en-Exile. He is famous for figuring out how to cross the hostile Westforest.
All that is known of Lleuwen's early life is that he was a footknight hailing from the city of Landningen. He joined the Guerr-en-Exile sometime during their travels through Cyclos. When they came to the borders of the Westforest the Guerr-en-Exile decided to make for the Clouded Peak, a vast mountain in the centre of the Eastforest - the problem was travelling through the Westforest, inhabited by creatures as mysterious as they were feared.
Lleuwen was the first to discover that the creatures of the Westforest, and later of the Eastforest as well, were deathly afraid of horses. The Guerr-en-Exile were footknights, not using horses at all, and thus he formulated the plan to use hollowed coconuts from the Jurnevian Islands. They would clack the coconuts together to imitate horses' hooves and trick the creatures of the Eastforest and Westforest into thinking they had horses. The plan worked and gained Lleuwen the epithet of 'the Raucous', being a popular synonym for 'loud' at the time.
Lleuwen the Raucous stayed with the Guerr-en-Exile right up until their alleged final stand at the Clouded Peak - the Tol d'Gadfreuy states he was run through by the same Eastforester spear that also killed Hardulf the Pure.
