Uruth

Uruth, also known as Uruth Ukrypt, was the first king of the orc realm of Uruth Ukrypt of the Sword Mountains and led the orc invasion of Nimoar's Hold (which later became Waterdeep) in the Orcfastings War of 936 DR.
==Description==
Uruth was a massive tusker who was not too bright. He wielded a mighty sentient weapon known as the Ettin Axe of Uruth.
==History==
Uruth was an orc chieftain until 927 DR, when the shaman Wund crowned him king in an effort to unify the tribes of the Sword Mountains in the wake of the Blood Plagues. A mighty magical throne was crafted for him, known as the Bloodbone Throne of Uruth.
His orcs instigated the Orcfastings War in 936 DR, and he led them to victory in the Battle of Whirling Blades, the Battle of Sarcrag and the Battle of Withered Fields. His long siege of Nimoar's Hold was broken at the Battle of Burning Cliffs. Subsequently, Uruth was killed in the Battle of the Westwood. He was laid to rest in a crypt somewhere in the Sword Mountains, and it was rumored that he was buried alongside his spoils, including an artifact known as "Galen's Key" said to be associated with the red dragon Karrnsyrrl.
