House of Urulien¶
The House of Urulien was "a noble high-elven family that ruled over the city" of Anoth-Urulien, on the edge of the great elven kingdom of Arne'Athosia. Its members were "magic-users and master artisans", and its seat was the Urulien Citadel (S057, repeated in S054-S056). The city fell in the War of the Moradrim, long before the kingdom itself; "Anoth-Urulien was already in ruins in the latter ages of the Kingdom of Arne'Athosia" (S054).
The Urulien Citadel¶
The Citadel was the "seat of power of the House of Urulien". In the Fifth Age "it now serves as a den for a corrupted wolf pack. The wolf pack has quite a set of spoils from its kills" (S057). The ruins' haunting draws the living toward it: "Haunting melodies fill the air, an ethereal choir of the elven citizens. Those who listen too long become entranced, walking deeper into the heart of the city (towards the Urulien Citadel)" (S057).
The Order of the Golden Hand¶
The city's mages had their own house. The Tower of Urulien was "once home to the Order of the Golden Hand, a high elven mage association. Abandoned during the fall of Anoth'Urulien during the War of the Moradrim" (S057). The tower is now "one of the less-spoiled ruins", but its dead are not at rest: "Many Mages from the Moradrim were hastily buried here and their spirits have been corrupted by Teneb'Vari. These dark ghost mages now wander the ruins (esp at night) and will kill any living creatures they come across. Destroying them is only a temporary solution as they will respawn after a few days" (S057).
In Play¶
The party of the Proturan Campaign came to the ruins for the Shrine of Kae'Ferrel, "once located on the outskirts" of the city; the Tower and the Citadel are among the ruins' "other accessible places" (S054-S057).
Gap
No member of the House of Urulien is named, nor any master of the Order of the Golden Hand. The sources do not say what title the House held, whether it answered to the kings of Arne'Athosia, or whether any of its line survived the fall.
