Ulfgar the Unending (or, alternatively, the Unyielding)[1]:985 was an Atmoran warrior from the Second Era or possibly even the Merethic Era. By his own personal account he and four close companions fought alongside the Atmoran legend Ysgramor as a member of the Five Hundred Companions. Many centuries later he and his four companions embarked on a quest to find Sovngarde. However, his companions Nikulas, Erlendr, and Hunroor were betrayed by the wizard Grimkell, who turned them into stone pillars at Brodir Grove on Solstheim. They were avenged by Ulfgar, who killed the wizard. Five hundred years later, Ulfgar was somehow still alive, and still searching for Sovngarde. In 3E 427, he met the Nerevarine, who agreed to help him find the Nordic paradise. Upon investigating, the Nerevarine informed the ancient Nord that the only way to reach Sovngarde is to die an honorable death in combat. Ulfgar challenged the Nerevarine, hoping to meet such a fate. The Nerevarine accepted his challenge, and the two engaged in mortal combat. In the end, a fourth pillar appeared at Brodir Grove,[2][3] and Ulfgar met his old friends in Sovngarde.[4][5]

Notes[edit]

  • While Ulfgar states that the events that extended his lifespan occurred 500 years prior to his meeting the Nerevarine, in further dialogue he states that he and his Companions fought under Ysgramor as members of the Five Hundred Companions. This would place Ulfgar's age far higher than previously stated, and could imply that he has lost track of time.[3]
