Ulas

Ulas the hairless was the proud compassionate Lord of the Fosír-Tasír in Dír.He ruled the forest Realm for two centuries around the end of the first Millenia of the third Age, imparting power and plenty to those around him, yet he was weak in arms and possessed no strongholds.The only protection he could offer his followers was the dense, tree-laden landscape of Dír.Still Ulas and his Umli Warriors broke the minions of their enemy, the Ringwraith Hoarmûrath three times in TA 1051, forcing the ulair to undertake a long and very hard siege.Hoarmûrath preferred not to wait, however, for he had only recently reentered endor ofter his long slumber.While time was on the side od darkness the Ringwraith felt the pangs of impatience and realized that Sauron wanted the campaign resolved quickly.Thus Hoarmûrath enlisted the aid of the powerful Lassaraukar.He awakened the leaf-demons during the Winter of TA 1051-52 and the creatures struck the Umli the following spring.Ulas recorded the Attack in his journal:”They came as six and siyty, led by one standing some ten feet in height.Anf they were cruel beyond hate.Utter evil omplied them and death followed intheir wake, as their cool green coats blended among the boughs of the great trees.Few of out people fled, all them died.The leaf-demons, they were the instrument that slew my land altogether, sparing no one.In three days my army, a host that so proudly stood fast for nine long months cried their last calls od freedom.The silent wift “wind in the trees” that shook great warriors like a gale from the mouth of Óla passed, leaving nothing but a blood-stained wood, and the disemboweleed corpses of heroes whose deeds are too many to be recorded, yet too great to be forgotten” The victim of a leaf-demom´s sharp missile, Ulas supposedly died after inscribing this entry. His son and daughter perished earlier along with their mother and their protector/companion, the great north-bear Olvûsi.Hoarmûrath´s Urdar Warriors arrived only a day later, but they found no trace of the umli lords´s body.Some say he lived to wage a never-ending war against the ulair who dared to call himself the north-king. Others say he was eaten by the pitiless and ever hungry Lassaraukar.
