Birth of Ugdrasil

Another significant alliance between humans and Orcs happened centuries after Nathan and Walcure died. The human Sylvia and the Orc Urzark were two magicians who fell in love and lived together quietly in the small village of Serend. They had a son named Ugdrasil, meaning “Star of the East.” He was a very smart boy and very gifted with magic, but most people in Chantra disapproved of interbreeding between the races. So the only other person who knew about Ugdrasil was the family friend and great magician Kaliur. He was the guardian of Walcure's magic and had inherited the staff Gaiahon.

However, secrets can't be kept forever, and when Ugdrasil was 2 years old he was discovered by a corps of human knights led by a magician. They attacked the family. Sylvia had time to use her magic to hide Ugdrasil. Urzark magically summoned Kaliur to come to their aid. But when he arrived, both parents were already dead. He discovered where Ugdrasil was hidden and took the boy as his apprentice.
