Yurts

Yurts Gristle was an aspiring goblin wizard and apprentice to Assylis Tehreman for a brief period during the late 1440's OCA. He participated with his master during the War of the Horn and was killed by an arrow during the Battle of Ardento Rock. 
==Biography==
Yurts was born in Saltmarsh, Dorthellond. Orphaned at a young age, he traveled briefly along the Lordly Highways with a wizard from Mageport who inspired in him an interest in magic. Yurts hitchhiked to Mageport where he intended to apply to Wintermark University.
Yurts attempted and failed the famously difficult entrance exams, which happened to be observed by wizard Assylis Tehreman. Assylis took the young Yurts under his wing, seeing an immense potential in him. He trained him in combat magic, noting an affinity for fire magic. He affectionately referred to his young apprentice as "Firefly."
From 1446 to 1450, Yurts participated in the War of the Horn alongside his master. Despite his young age, his skill in combat was formidable and his magnetic personality proved to be an excellent morale boost for the troops.  
Tragedy struck during the infamous Battle of Ardento Rock, a rock formation a few leagues south of Mageport. Yurts was struck through the chest with an arrow during the ambush and later died of his wounds. Fellow soldier Roman d'Argon, who had become close to Yurts, was devastated.
