**WARNING: This may contain Storyline information of the Umarsar I: the Ulsar**

Noryin was born in Sîdh-Sotha as a son of an Beckleback Merchant, Foryin Blackwood and Oria Blackwood. His youth was helping his father by taming Becklebacks, around the age of 20, he went to the Library of Sîdh-Sotha, where Noryin learned to read, write and becoming an Forgél. After the Archforgél approved it, Noryin took his fathers Beckleback company, the Blackwood Beckleback Company together with Noryin's brother Oryin. Noryin would take missions from the Library while he was selling and taming the Becklebacks. When Noryin went on a mission to Dûr Ulsar, he left his brother with the company. And was Knighted by Weylin after the Incident of Dûr Ulsar. After Weylin's election, he was elected to be Vice President. However, he stated that *"An Forgél never could be an ruling politician"*. And instead Fidys Orhin became Vice President. Noryin returned to Sîdh-Sotha, reported back to the Archforgél, which gave him an order and said to Oryin: *"We must recruit in secret an army of Beckleback Riders, who are known as the Blackwood Company. The task of this Company is to side with the Usyr. And not to be ruled by the President. This Company will give ear to the Umarsar, and until he returns, they will listen to me, Noryin Blackwood, General of the Blackwood Company."* The Archforgél them cloned an Ulsarian called Iddys, one of the last descendants of the uncursed Blackwatch. Officialy, cloning was forbidden. And only forbidden knowledge the Archforgél knew and was allowed to use. Iddys was an formally knight of the Duke's Guard, but fled Dûr Ulsar after Ródh Ulvá's representative was killed. Iddys himself trained the Company, and was named Colonel. Noryin trained them in Beckleback Riding. At the Battle of Thâr-Bardésh, the Company. Until then a secret for both the Dwarves and the Ulsarians charged into the Ulsarian ranks, and after Ulsarian surrender, they recognized Noryin Blackwood. "Noryin, a traitor?" one soldier said, which Blackwood answered "If I am right, you are a traitor. You don't know who is in that army. Come forth, Umarsar Thréoded. I spoke with the Usyr himself, and he led me with my Blackwood Company to you. I ask of the Ulsarmen to side with the Umarsar, as is your oath. Umarsar Thréoded, my Company is yours to command." after the Ulsarmen heard the Usyr saying "Thréoded is your Umarsar, Noryin, Lord of Castle Blackwood and Black King. The rightfull Lord of Dûr Ulsar and Leader has come forth, Thréoded Ernûlín, Descendant of House Sotha. Duke Ulvá has died, Thréoded has not. He is the Lord of Dûr Ulsar. He is the Umarsar-King. Noryin Blackwood, Black King has come to the Umarsar's Aide, as his ancestors did." after that, the Armies of Ulsarians and Dwarves marched upon Dûr Ulsar. Noryin sended bird towards the Library of Sîdh-Sotha, and soon after that, the whole west of the Ulsar revolted against Weylin, and an army of 50.000 Ulsarians, 2000 Blackwoods, 100 Mages of Sîdh Sotha, 800 of Rédh's army, 50 Dwarves of Dûr Morthár, 10 Rangers of the Westland, and 80 others at one side of Dûr Ulsar and Mithuraz Army, 5000 Dwarves at the other side made Weylin surrender at the moment Thréoded came forward and showed his Umarsar powers. After Weylin's surrender and execution, Thréoded, Thréoded's true father Humlin Ⅲ of Mithuraz, Noryin Blackwood, Iddys, the Archforgél, Head-Ranger Dragír, Frógi Dzyonk, Shrýnn, the Usyr and Dín Warhammer debated over the future of the Ulsarforest and a Peace Treaty. Out this debate came out that the Ulsar Republic became Autonomous under Mithuraz, but when Thréoded was proposed as leader of the Republic he said: "Ulsarians died for the freedom of their people, for an elected ruler. If you now choose me as your Leader, all that you fought for was lost. I want to nominate Noryin Blackwood, he honoured his true alliegiance to the Usyr and the Umarsar. The Umarsar is a guide, not the leader. I accept however to replace the Vice President with me." and so on Thréoded became the first Umarsar to guide. Thréoded's second son would be the heir to the Throne of Mithuraz, his first son became the Umarsar after him, and his sons after him. Noryin ruled the Republic for 8 years, then he
