Ilhohore

## Ilhohore, Tulkon XXVII

**Ilhohore** was a male Elf who served as the 27th Tulkon. He was born in L'Dona, A'Roastad, in 2093. He was raised in a Tulkonist family, and was named after the concept of the *Ilho*. He was a quarter-Human from his mother's side.

Like his two predecessors, he trained under king Amorim. Ilhohore, like many young Tulkons, had trouble accepting his identity as the Tulkon and often questioned if it was truly his destiny. When he was an adult, he travelled the world, spending many years in the Keghotogh Ascendancy and studying at the Temple of the Tulkon, where he came to terms with his duty, especially after studying the lifetime of his predecessor Eoonanone, also a reluctant Tulkon. He became close friends with Ascendant Queen Uhagh, and was present when the Queen died of an illness in 2129. Scholars believe the pair had a romantic relationship.

Upon his return, Gogeget declared war on Nodal, and A’Roastad and Honsin came to its defense. Ilhohore joined the fight, but found himself unable to take any lives and was appalled by the violence on both sides. When his platoon left back to A’Roafana, Ilhohore remained behind to help the affected nations rebuild. He relocated to E’Deonadi afterwards. He eventually realized he was immortal. Again, he grappled with his status as an immortal Tulkon, and questioned if it was fair for him to be the Tulkon for so long. During this period, he spent much time at the Cave of O'Sahal.

Decades later, Ilois IHS once again attempted to conquer A’Roastad. Ilhohore pleaded with the leaders of both nations to stop the fighting, but neither listened. He was forcibly conscripted and put on the front line. The violence shook him; in a rage, he killed king O’Odosore of A’Roastad and ended the fighting. However, his actions led to unrest in A’Roastad, which became torn by civil war. Without choice, he fled E’Deonadi and resettled in Eoodo Ynofora, where he commanded the rebellion, which also included Ygasa L’Donorene. The latter city was nearly destroyed in the fighting. Ilhohore gave in to the violence and gained a reputation of being unforgiving and cruel.

When he turned 100, he realized what a monster he had become, and ended the war. He went to Onor to seek guidance from Amorim, who gladly welcomed him as a friend. Amorim reminded him that as the Tulkon, he had to do what was necessary to maintain balance, including violence, but he must seek amends for his actions. He returned to the site of his final battle and used his abilities to heal the people of A’Roastad. He was forgiven by its people and returned home. He embraced Tulkonism, and for the rest of his life he would be a benevolent spiritual leader. He relocated to E’Deonadi once again. On the 1,000th anniversary of Yaaamemon’s sacrifice, he visited the Rock and used it as a conduit for healing energy that spread across the world. Peace prevailed for the rest of his days. When he turned 300, Ilhohore felt that he was ready to die. He reincarnated as the Dwarf Osnerime.

Ilhohore's life is among the most studied and controversial of all Tulkons. Supporters claim that he did what was necessary for his homeland's political situation and sought amends, while others believe that his action sonly destabilized the Elvosphere even further.
