Urguan, also known as Urguan Silverbeard and regally as Urguan I, is the father of the Dwarves and the third-born of the four brothers birthed by The First Man and The First Woman at the start of time, according to the works of the Wandering Wizard. He is accounted for as the first King of the Dwarves, being given a tribe of 7,000 other Dwarves like himself to rule over after the fall of Iblees. Urguan's eight children would go on to found the eight elder clans: Irongut, Frostbeard, Ireheart, Grandaxe, Treebeard, Goldhand, Starbreaker, and Ironborn.

Biography

Urguan was one of the Four Brothers, the younger brother to Malin and Krug and the older brother of Horen. In the beginning of time, Urguan was like his brothers tempted by the Archdaemon Iblees with promises of wealth. Like Malin and Horen had done, Urguan too fell into his temptation. Even so, Urguan fought alongside his three other Brothers in the great war against Iblees. Yet, when the war was won, Iblees dealt a curse unto Urguan to be suffered by both his person and all his descendants. This curse turned Urguan's greed insatiable and furthermore made his stature stunted and his physical features ugly comparative to his Brothers. Even so, Urguan did not despair, for after the war the father of the Dwarves was given 7,000 Dwarves to rule over, each sharing his curse of greed and shortened stature. Yet, to balance out Iblees' curse, Urguan and his people were made to be hardy, strong-willed, and resilient at all times.

In the aftermath of the great war against Iblees, Urguan mirrored his Brothers and led his new tribe into the lands of Aegis. There, deep in the mountains and caverns of the first continent did Urguan and his people found Kal'Urguan, the first capital and city of the Dwedmar race. From there did Urguan rule for centuries, leading his people into an age of wealth and stability. Urguan, in his time as King of the Dwarves, would go on to sire Eight sons; Yavok, Dwain, Tungdil, Bogrin, Kaz'Ulrah, Gloin, Gotrek, and Velkan. The children of Urguan's offspring would go forth and create the Eight elder clans of the Dwarves, who still maintain their presence in modern Dwarven society.

Yet, after many years of governing his Dwarven kin, Urguan would disappear from view and from the records of time. Many believe that Urguan has since perished, but others hold true the belief that Urguan still rests in the great caverns and mountains of the world, simply awaiting to be awoken once more by his descendant kin. Since Urguan's disappearance, he has since been named a Paragon by the Dwarven faith.
