Maugun of Ording, also known as "Maugun the Unicorn Knight", was a famous hero of the War of the Sorcerer-King and first of the House of Ording.
Maugun was born a lowborn in 982. During the War of the Sorcerer-King, he server under Paol, a Lorentish seargent, and the two grew close. Paol was slain during an ambush by soldiers of the Sorcerer-King around Rosefield in the year 998.
The death of his commander and close friend sent Maugun into a deep depression, and he deserted. Distraught by the death of his friend, and unwilling to return home for the shame of having deserted, he wandered the Redwood aimlessly. During this period he encountered one of the most beautiful creatures he’d ever seen: a Unicorn. With a new purpose in life Maugun set about taming the beast. He stalked the Unicorn for a year before he managed to gain its trust, and during this period Maugun learnt many things about the forest; and killed many invaders.
Blessed with his new mount, and a refocused purpose, Maugun returned to his home of High Ording. He returned to his home in flames. Without a moment's hesitation Maugun rushed towards the besieged town, barely dodging the fireball thrown his way. Moving fast so as to avoid a second fireball Maugun flew toward the man, killing him in a single strike. Fortunately the force was a small one and with the help of a few volunteers they were easily routed.
In the following year Maugun fought hard to defend his home and lead a group known as Maugun's Band during the War of the Sorcerer-King. Growing popular with both the locals (who coined the name “The Unicorn Knight”) and Rewan VIII Lorentis, King of Lorent, who granted him a knighthood and revived the Duchy of Great Ording for him after the previous lord of the High Ording had died during the war.
After the arrival of the elves, Maugun fought with the League of Free Realms, slaying Venac the Arrogant during the storming of Vertesk and being granted a knighthood in Adenica, before finally participating in the Tourney of Grand Victory, but not in the Battle of Trialmount.
