Orkenspade Sopho

Orkenspade the Great of House Sopho was the founder of the Mountain Tribe from 1200 C.E. to 1233 C.E. (100 - 133 A.E.). He was a miner in Phoenixia and eventually submitted a request for secession. His daughters Larkspear and Moon-Arrow helped gather supporters in their mining districts. His follower amount grew large enough that King Eru Ithlandiel I allowed their group to become the third Tribe of the Elves. He led his Tribe into the mountains of Siphonea and founded the city of Siphon, as well as House Sopho, in 1203 C.E. Their mining quickly made him the single richest Elf in Cyclandia, but he shared his wealth to his citizens. His mountain hall in Siphon was said to be on the scale of Dwarven grandeur. His twin sons Sylen and Teyrin were the first Elvish children to be born in the city. Contrary to popular belief, Orkenspade was his birth name, and it was only coincidence that his last act was beheading the Orken king Tyr II during the Orcs' attack on Siphon in 1233 using his enormous battle-axe. He was slain directly after by an unknown Orken soldier. Orkenspade was known to be an excellent fighter and warrior. He was mourned for three days following his death, and his successor, Queen Moon-Arrow, conquered the Orken city four years after to avenge her father. As she was underage during the time, she reigned in Orkenspade's name until 1239, when she ascended as the first monarch of the Mountain Tribe.
