The Urdar were descendants of the Mornerim or men of the Farthest north and close relatives of the people of Bór and the Forodwaith.Their ancestors were a number of primitive tribes of Trappers and Mountaineers, led by matriarchial clan-mothers and with partially friendly contacts to the Hwendi, an Avari people of the utter north.This however changed with the rise of the North-King.The North-King forged the Urdar into a warlike-coalition.He replaced the older matriarchial tradition with a patriachic hierarchy and led the Urdar-Alliance to form the first great mannish-kingdom of the utter north.The Urdar's descendants remained formidable Warriors who built large awe-inspiring wooden-cities and revered shadowy spirits and the sacred Ovir or great Northern bears.
