A History
The Turik Family is young when compared to many Atamarran Families and was founded by Patrus Turik,a horsebreeder from Bolgar. Patrus was knighted for his bravery and ferocity as a warrior after banding together with an unruly group of lesser nobles and farmers to defend the borders of Bolgar from a monster invasion. Patrus fought as viscously as any Knight of Redspan against the advance of the Beastman herd, driving the gruesome halfbreeds away from a nearby town and then to the banks of the River Yuella, where the last of the beasts were finally slain.The descendants of Patrus Turik have proudly worn his name ever since.
The Turiks have continued the tradition of horsebreeding and have provided some of the best cavalry horses that Redspan has ever ridden into battle. The Turik farm has always been modest and the family has never been the wealthiest or most well known but they have always been strong and they have never strayed in their devotion to Da Way.
The Family Crest was adopted after Patrus Turik's passing. The Golden Lion is a tribute to Patrus' bravery while the heraldic blue stripe to the Lion's right represents the River Yuella. The field of black upon which the crest stands was chosen as a symbol of mourning for the passing of the Family's patriarch. The Family's motto, Ne Obliviscaris, is written in the old tongue and means "Forget Not".

Ureus
Ureus was assasinated in Old Rancagua on the east continent while on his way home to Redspan after his realm mates in Oligarch discovered that he had been a member of the underground rebellion and had plotted to ruin Oligarch even before Oligarch's fall to the alliance of Fontan and Sirion. Ureus had been manipulated into joining the rebellion by his grandfather, Joran, who had held a grudge against the Oligarchians since his younger days.
