Triamlavar ruled the Aymhelin as King of the Latari Elves during the First Darkness. It was his leadership that built the first alliance between humans and elves, a tradition that was carried through history whenever their lands were threatened by the Ynfernael. He was extinguished on the field by Kul the Serpent during the Battle of the Locust.
The Siege of Thelgrim
When the Uthuk Y'llan began their destruction of Talindon in earnest, The Elf King Triamlavar pledged to fight alongside King Falladir's forces. An elite army was hastily assembled, combining the best of the fast and hard-hitting troops that they could muster. They force-marched through mountain passes and fell upon the rear of Llovar’s forces, to break their siege of Dunwarr.
The Humans and Elves threw the Uthuk into disarray and forced Llovar to retreat and regroup. Falladir and Triamlavar were able to relieve the Dwarven fortress of Thelgrim and entreated the Dwarves to join the war, but the Dunwarr Deeplords were unwilling to commit to military action. While they did promise the use of Thelgrim to the new alliance, they stubbornly refused to allow their own troops to be risked in battle, claiming they would fight only in self-defense.
Timmorran Arrives
In 483, the great wizard Timmorran came to the allied force's aid with an army of Sundermen. With the consent of Falladir and Triamlavar, he ordered the allied army to split into two contingents, one commanded by himself and the other by the famed Sunderland general Waiqar Sumarion.
Timmorran’s enchanted army, now joined by Falladir and Triamlavar, sought out the Uthuk and their allies. At the Battle of the Burning Hills, they baited an army of Orcs into attacking their strong, elevated position, leading to a conclusive victory in which Timmorran struck down Chief Lukosh with his magic. The Orcs soon began to desert the Ynfernael cause and by 486 Llovar would no longer be able to call upon a single Orcish regiment.
Battle of the Locust
In the battle of the locust at the end of the war, Triamlavar defended Timmorran from a vicious Uthuk assault led by Kul the Serpent. Scything bone blades slashed at Timmorran, but King Triamlavar leapt before the charging Uthuk. While Triamlavar was distracted, Kul punched an envenomed arrow through the Elf king’s belly. The Dwarven Deeplord Halgir and the Sayr-Savim Elder Ashan also fell protecting the wizard that day. Their sacrifices allowed Timmorran to finally triumph over Llovar Rutonu and vanquish the Uthuk from Talindon.
