Lourem Werthan

General

Lourem Werthan ['ɬu:ʁəm vɛɐ̯θan] is a half-Dragon and protagonist in the Iron Gate Saga. He is the son of Ceñua and thus one of the last Magotho. His only sibling is his twin brother Len.

Appareance

Unlike his brother Len, Lourem has a Dragon physique. His scale coloration is light green, not black like many Magotho's. His eyes are also green. Being a half-Dragon has caused him to have a growth disorder. At the age of 24 he is about the size of a Steller's sea eagle. His size gives him certain advantages, for example during flight manoeuvres.

Personality

His small size burdens Lourem. Since Dragons also settle social conflicts and tensions through fights, he had to learn early on to avoid such situations or to solve them differently. Occasionally, Lourem compensates for his size with his cheeky and often sarcastic manner. Underneath this, however, he is an extremely empathetic and gentle person.

Unlike his brother Len, Lourem had more contact with his mother and uncle. Therefore, with their ideas for restoring the Old Empire, they had a greater influence on him and instilled this idea into him. However, that all took a backseat to Lourem when he found out he has a twin brother. But it was above all he who then convinced Len to travel to Draco to intervene in the war there.

Lourem is closely linked to his brother. Len often calls him "Lou" [lu:] for short.

Life

Lourem was born in 8988 A.I.D. on the Thorntoll, along with his twin brother Len.

Trivia

The "O" in Lourem's name is a devoiced vowel. The emphasis is on the "U".
