Uru the Unfortunate

Uru Eglius better known as Uru the Unfortunate (57 BRT - 0 HE) was a king of the Kingdom of Cheqa. He was born before recorded history, and his death sparked the beginning of recorded history in a yearly basis. His death sparked the High Era, which lasted 4,772 years.

Reign
Little is known of his reign and life before 4 BRT. He is known to have had a son, Uru Selvic, the last member of the House of Uru.

Cheqa Wars
In 4 BRT, Uru chose to follow a path away from traditional Cheqan culture and began to rebuild the military for an all-out invasion of the southwestern part of the continent. Beginning with the Battle of Fort Heg where his forces stormed the warlord Opahn Fedepes' entire county, which fell to Cheqa after the battle. From here Uru began to quickly conquer land, thus many nearby nations in banded together to defeat Uru. Cheqa's final defeat came in late 1 BRT, and less than 5 months later Uru would be assassinated while in exile, with the rest of his family being hunted down shorty thereafter.

Assassination
Uru was assassinated while in exile on the Isle of Partatum. His assassin or assassins were never caught, but it is widely believed he was killed by a group of conspirators in retaliation of the Cheqa Wars. This is heavily supported with the assassination of the rest of his family shortly after and thus resulting in the entire bloodline being killed off.

"The Unfortunate"
Uru's title comes from the fact his attempts at creating a grand empire failed, and that his death catalyzed into the beginning of recorded history, as people realized events like the Cheqa Wars should be catalogued for future generations to know about.
