Oran Wulk

Oran Wulk (a.k.a. The Blue King)

Arguably the first Western King, Oran of Clan Wulk began the Western Rebellion that would lead to the Rule of the West, which separates the first and second rule of Clan Ainros.   Despite his role in the war and the fall of Clan Ainros, Oran is oft forgotten, since he died before the Wulks took command of Revellia Canton. More than anything, he is remembered for Oran's Folly, wherein he invited Khabarese warriors across the Triangle Sea to help him fight the Leante, which would eventually lead to the taking of Berleigh, a fight that weighed heavily on the rule of his son, Otgam Wulk.   Called the Blue King for painting his face in blue dyes, Oran was said to be a magnetic personality who commanded armies through charismatic speeches more than force. Many Westerners still worship him as a rebel hero, despite how little is known of him.
