Raised on the Blood Isles Üden showed his greatness from an early age before becoming an adventurer and carrying out many an epic quest. He was then noticed and acknowledged by his father Kord who took him to Ysgard and trained with as a godling.

Üden found his father hard to deal with due to Kord’s boisterous nature and constant competitiveness. He set out on his own heroic trials where he experienced and learnt much by listening and learning. From the goddess Ehlonna of the Forests he learnt of the animal domain and found her goodness pleasing. He even spent time with his father’s enemy the goddess Wee Jas from whom he learnt magic, though her love of death and tendency towards evil drove him away in time.
