King Uth Myrmoran I was a human of Illuskan descent who constructed Uthtower and became the self-proclaimed king of a small port settlement on the Sword Coast North in the Year of the Risen Towers, 146 DR. The realm was named Uthtower after the newly built seat of power.[1]
Relationships[]
Uth I's consort was Queen Sarlani and their eldest son and heir was Ornoth Myrmoran I.[2]
History[]
Uth I was a Lord of Tavaray until he was exiled. He moved to a small port settlement in the region south of Leilon and, in 146 DR, he built Uthtower on a rocky hill near the coast.[3] He brought a company of Shoon mercenaries with him, and proclaimed himself king, intending to build a great realm from this first settlement. He had brought with him a great deal of personal wealth from Tavaray and used this to pay off anyone who was opposed to him seizing power.[1]
Uth I began to feel the effects of age around 158 DR and allowed his eldest son Ornoth Myrmoran to run the government. He died a decade later in the Year of Scattered Stars, 168 DR.[1]
King Uth I's and Queen Sarlani's crypts were located below the ruins of the Uthtower in what eventually became the Mere of Dead Men.[2]

Notes[]
- ↑ Tavaray was settled by Illuskans from Ruathym and Uth I was a lord of that city before his exile. Therefore it is assumed he was of Illuskan descent. See The Grand History of the Realms pp. 59 and 63.
