Malentor

Malentor (1972-2037) a noble of the royal line his
grandfather was brother to king Manalotos father to the king Melenotros that
fell with his two sons and only heirs to the orc hordes in the siege of
Voriator in 2010. Being the last male of the royal line he helped Orfeolan
widow of Naleon brother of the king that also died in the siege of Voriator and
queen of Nemeator. Being an able leader he gathered what forces he could and
defended Nemeator from the beastmen who had taken advantage of the havoc the
appearance of the orcs caused and rose. In 2012 with a small but experience
force he attacked and massacred the beastmen around the capital. He reinforced
the walls of the capital sent south all women and children and prepared to face
the orcs. In 2013 a great horde arrived and attacked the city. The siege lasted
well into 2014 but the defenses were damaged and Malentor saw that they
couldn’t stand long. He burned the city as a diversion and retreated further
south many orcs were trapped in the flames. By 2015 the retreating army reached
the southern outpost of Notiator. He built many fortifications taking advantage
of orcs fighting beastmen in the plains of Nemeator. But the orcs prevailed and
although weakened their numbers were still great and attacked notiator. The
winter of 2016 was heavy and the besieged hoped that the orcs would be
decimated by hunger and diseases but in the spring a new horde arrived.
Malentor still unshaken by his many defeats saw again that they could not hope
to prevail against the multitude of orcs. His army was barely a small force
from losses and years of wars and he decided again to retreat. This time they
had to abandon their beloved plateau of Nemeator for the lands beyond. He sent
the queen and the three young princes with the townsfolk and druids in the
blessed island of Tron Troi and himself with a small band of veterans run to
the hills to hold the orcs. Skirmishes lasted until 2017 when the small band
met a colony of dwarves that lived in those hills for centuries and were
troubled by the orcs. A reluctant alliance was formed and goods and
military help was exchanged. A first change of luck and fortunes was seen when
two orc hordes with two ambitious orc warlords fought each other. Seeing the
opportunity in the spring of 2018 forces of Nemeatorians and dwarves attacked
the scattered orcs and massacred them. The first orc wars were finished and
Malentor became one of the most famous generals of all times. The army named
Malentor king and wanted to dispose of the queen and her sons but Malentor
being king and just rejected the proposal although he accepted the crown. The
druids proposed that two royal lines should be established so Nemeator would be
better protected from adversities in the future. Malentor and young prince
Neleon accepted and by 2020 they were crowned kings. Malentor chose as his
seat the destroyed town of Notiator and tried to rebuild the town and region
now that the war and threat of the orcs was over. He continued fighting orcs
and beastmen but with the help from dwarves the small town was slowly rebuilt.
When he died the people held a ceremony that lasted seven days to honor him.
