Ulkimash

Ulkimash originally known as Ulki, was together with Roris were the founders of Sovdal and Noxism. Ulkimash was the longest-lived Noxvraeld, in fact his mandate lasted 85 years. His life and deeds are written in the Book of Ulkimash.

Childhood
The book does not give us detailed information about his childhood, we know for sure that he comes from an important family among the Soleannen tribes, probably the son of a priest or some other important person, in fact his arranged marriage would have created an alliance between two families.

Youth
In his youth he witnesses the mistreatment of the Soleannen soldiers towards members of the Noxist tribes, but he doesn't give it much thought. Having reached the age of majority he enters the army and during an insurrection of some Noxist extremists he witnesses a massacre by soldiers which also involves other Noxists who have nothing to do with the extremists, including Roris's husband. That evening Ulki, full of doubts and uncertainties, does not know how to behave regarding what he has seen, suddenly an angel appeared near him and said to him: "peace be upon you Ulki son of Edel", with these words he could not answer because his mouth could not utter a word even if he wanted to, the angel continued by saying: "leave this land and head west where you will be directed, and remain there until you are ordered to return and lead the tribes to the land where you go now, because my lords will no longer tolerate their suffering.

Adulthood
After that evening the angel changed Ulki's name to Ulkimash, and departed before dawn that same day. He traveled for days following the directions he received and marked the route for when he will have to lead the tribes.

After weeks of travel, Ulkimash arrived in the land now called Helmia, where he settled, becoming a shepherd of flocks waiting for the next call from heaven. After thirteen years he finally received a visit from the same angel who led him to that land and told him: "the time has come, sell your herds and your home to the poorest, but keep some supplies for yourself to return to the east", and so he did, and with the remaining money he bought a horse, leaving that same morning. He traveled all day and when sunset was near he asked a farmer in the village where he had arrived if he could host him until the following morning, the man said he would but that he had no food to offer him because he was unable to plow the field due to the death of his ox and that he had used his money to be able to feed himself in recent months, but which had now run out. Ulkimash reassured him that it was not necessary to give him a meal, but only shelter for the night. Ulkimash, however, got up early that morning before dawn, leaving in the farmer's house a gold ring he had had since he was a boy and his horse in front of the man's stable.

For the next few weeks Ulkimash moved as best he could, avoiding large cities, until one day he reached a hill and from there glimpsed his city after more than a decade. Ulkimash, however, remained there all evening waiting for orders, his sleep became heavier and heavier and his strength failed, he fell into a deep sleep and saw a figure that he could not define and a voice came out of it: "Enter the city, ask for Idir the Blacksmith and when you have found him tell him that their lords are sending you". Once he entered the city, Ulkimash avoided any contact with guards and members of the sun cult so as not to be recognised, he arrived in the Noxist neighborhood and asked around there, but no one answered him.

Exhausted from the long journey, he sat down near a wall, when a child approached him and said: "I know who you are looking for." and so Ulkimash followed the child to an old structure and the closer he got to the house he heard a hammer hitting iron, there was a man there who was now advanced in years but still capable of doing his job. The old man asked him if he was looking for someone and Ulkimash answered him in the language of the Noxist tribes saying: "Idir son of Tefar, bring this man under your roof, he and the one we send you to bring you salvation.", Idir did not hesitate, he putted down the hammer and led Ulkimash inside, giving him a bed and some food. Ulkimash did not understand a word of what came out of his mouth because those words were not his.
