Zoruha

Zoruha was a female Orc who served as the 26th Tulkon. She was born in Penazaduzhia, Orcanth, in 1998 AT. Zoruha's mother was an Eastern Gardenian from the island of Nen Ren, so she was raised with strong ties to both cultures.

Zoruha’s family were impoverished, like many other Orcanthi families; Orcanth in general was in disarray, as the loss of its northern territories caused a significant blow economically and politcally. Zoruha, even as a child, was looking for ways to better her country. Her identification as the Tulkon only built upon her helping spirit. She trained under King Amorim. When she was a teenager, war broke out between Orcanth and Gogeget over Nen Ren. For 13 years, the two nations fought, with Nen Ren eventually remaining under Gogeget rule. Zoruha presided over the treaty signing and helped create many of the terms of the document, understanding that the majority of Nen Ren's people wanted to live under Gogeget rule. She also argued in favor of programs that would encourage both immigration to the island and understanding of its culture.

In the years after the war, Zoruha introduced many reforms that would change Orcanth for the better and improve its infrastructure and economy, as well as promote kindness understanding that had been forgotten from their culture. Zoruha became queen of Orcanth and began a golden age for the country. As queen, she taught a young Zetopa in the ways of magic, politics, and warfare.

She died peacefully at home in 2093 AT, and was succeeded by Elf Ilhohore. She is noted for restablizing Orcanth and making it a significant power once again, although her training of Zetopa would eventually directly lead to the Immortal War.
