House Urathinor

House Urathinor 

Urathinor was originally a major city situatied on the east coast of the southern spur of the northern continent of Illyria. It was mirrored to the west, on the far side of the Theus mountains by Illiatu and this positioning was maintained when the city states moved off Athenoi.

Urathinor was well placed as a trading hub between Illyria and Attika with the long and deep river Apaestus cutting through the continent and meeting the sea at Urathinor. The thickly forested Illyria and mineral rich mountains nearby helped to develop Urathinor into a manufacturing and commercial sector. Urathinor was never able to rely on the vast agricultures of the western and southern Attikan cities like Vathuargale and Kanturi.

Like all Koriri cities Urathinor suffered heavily when the Asahinai rose up to slaughter the affluent complacent Koriri. Uticles Urathinor, then a police sergeant, is credited with orgainising the defence of the city to repell the genocidal attackers. Uticles rallied the battered and stretched police forces and populace and mercilessly exterminated the insects within the city. He is also reveered by House Illiatu for leading a relief force to break the Asahinai siege of Illiatu thus begining the centuries old alliance between the two houses. The Ihm Kha Vator landed on Illyria and was rescued from attacking waves of Asahinai by the soldiers of Allekorg. The people of Allekorg were hesitant about offering help to the giant reptile but ultimately decided that being an enemy of the Asahinai he may be able to provide intelligence and assistance. Once the Ihm Kha Vator recovered he took on the role of advisor to the Allekorg army and began to devise numerous weapons and genetic manipulations to improve the performance of the Allekorg army. Illatu soon joined the Ihm Kha Vator's army and was shortly followed by Urathinor. Urathinor produced 60% of the equipment that the Ihm Kha Vator required for his push south into Attika.

Shortly after the push south Urathinor became the first city to adopt the Ihm Kha Vator's genefarm process and begin the process of turning caputred Ashahini into the living machine helots that would power the Koriri economy.

Urathinor's soliders fought in most major battles of the Vengence war and the comemorative statue of Uticles of Urathinor, Arges of Vathuarglae and Horkos of Illiatu depicting the 3 Heirarchs battling the last Asahinai hive queen is reckoned one of the great Koriri artworks.
