Ear Bardur

Ear Bardur, Son of Brain Bardur is a builder from the town of ForgeGuard. Helping found the town under the name of Emberguard in his first days. He came to be the Master builder of the town and most of the town has been built with his implication in one way or another. Ear is now the count of Dejuria, a duchy(province) of Vulperium. The duchy has 2 main cities; Winterose the mega city, and Ost-Helm the trade center to the East.

The Founding of EmberGuard
Born shortly before the official founding of the town, Ear would help his Grandfather and Great-grandfather in the resurrection of the town. Once known under the name of name of Veanor, the ruined town lacked a builder. Building houses for the first settlers of the town Ear laid the physical foundation for EmberGuard. EmberGuard has since changed names multiple times and also merged with the preexisting town of FrostGuard to it's south.

The RatKing Incident
With the town well established with a dozen members, the young Bardur took upon fishing in the nether. Having heard that the task could yield greatly he took off in the fury depts. Ear having gone nether fishing multiple times with no incident let his guard down and brought all his valuables with him.

That is when it started. With his back turned, RatKing robbed him of all his valuables. Most notably his 3 pickaxes. Without his enchanted tools he could not continue any of his construction, most of the town with many unfinished buildings. This pained him, consequently he became aggressive and paranoid. Later, attacking a new neighbor thinking he was being robbed again.

The RatKing would eventually agree to return his Bars of “Turdice“ after much begging, and a few unsavory favors. After this exchange, Ratticus would befriend Ear who had by then rebuilt his prized collection of pickaxes. However, Ear would turn to a phase of alcoholism to cope from his trauma.

Did Eye Bluff?
Having now grown up and made his impact on his town and family, he was still not included in the family tree. Regulus the king was the keeper of the Kuton and Olmero tree and had failed to include Ear in the Family trees. Having requested multiple times to be added to the trees Ear finally snapped.

Having lost all his patience in the negotiations with Ratticus, he showed his dark side. Ear, inspired by a similar threat made by his father; THREATENED TO TAKE HIS EYES OUT! Unfortunately for Regulus, Ear had already felt great trauma, he was naïve to call his bluff. Ear sculpted his eyes out with a spoon and left his wide eye's open for anyone to see.

It took a week of convincing not by Regulus but by his Grandfather Sesam to finally bandage his face. He later put one of his eyes back in and gave the other away to his nephew Berry Kuton. Berry would not respond to Ear's attempts at reclaiming his eye back, so instead he put a spider eye in, the likes of which would never properly bond leaving him with a white eye and poor depth perception.

Count of Dejuria
Sometime now past since his last great accomplishment, Ear was now a count. After the purchase of the Rasterian mainland, many of the Dejuria elders moved back to their homeland lost to war a long time ago. Being the eldest permanent resident of the Vulperium duchy, he was named Count of Dejuria by Regulus and Scroll.

Ear was eager to take hold of the position previously held by his father. [...]
