Torge Uldidrin

Torge Uldidrin (440 VE-2 CE) was a leader of the Uldidrin Tribe and a Yiergashi revolutionary who started and led Torge's Rebellion (475-478 VE) to secure independence of the Yiergashi tribes from the Verenian Empire. As the son of a clan leader, Torge spent his childhood learning the arts of war and reading on the history of Yiergash, where he began to grow supportive of a Yiergashi independence movement against Yorosi control. Torge's revolutionary thoughts fully manifested after his tribe was denied aid during a harsh drought and pestilence, despite the Uldidrin Tribe's assistance to Yoros in putting down several uprisings. This pestilence resulted in the death of Torge's father and older brother, leaving him as the tribal leader of the Uldidrin, despite having no formal home due to crop failure in the drought. It was during this time that Torge claims he was visited by a ghost of an ancient Yiergashi king who gave him an ancestral bracelet from its time and commanded Torge to lead the Yiergashi tribes in revolt against the Verenian Empire. After recruiting several tribes to his cause, Torge began his uprising, dragging the Verenian armies into a tiresome campaign in the Yiergashi mountains which would culminate in a Yiergashi victory following the destruction of Linares and eventual collapse of Verenia in 478 VE. Despite positioning himself as the new independent Yiergashi king following independence, Torge did not get to oversee the building of an independent and centralized Yiergash due to his assassination in 2 CE, which resulted in the breakup of his alliance and the collapse of any hope of a unified Yiergash after their independence.
