Lord Perth was an ancient Warlord of Mid-World, and is recounted by the people of Mid-World through poetry. The poems recount how he was a giant of a man who went forth to wage war with a thousand strong men. However while he was still in his own country a young boy threw a stone at him which hit his knee. Lord Perth fell and broke his neck, dying instantly. Outlaws to this day maintain his story as an omen of bad luck, as it shows them that even the mightiest of men can fall.
