Matthues Ur

Matthues Ur (Born Matthew Harding, 1769) is one of the key figures of Bemton region. One of the six "Ur", or saints, of the D'Vowchanian branch of the mainstream Krumboism, he is a divisive figure in Bemton. According to D'Vowchanian Instute of History's Fourth Yearly Review, Matthues was granted Urhood by General Lochest in the year 1784 for his wonderful Invention, the Flechette Grenade, and how it helped the oppressed D'Vowchanians escape from the Tyranny of the Krumboians in the Krumboian-D'vowchanian War

Early Life
Matthues was born in 1769 in a small farming town. He saw how the ravage beasts, both animal and Krumboians, would steal and destroy his crops. An interview published in the D'Vowchanian Journal for Pious Insight, Matthues said "Every time I saw some sick, deformed beast come for my grain, I just had to beg our glourious god D'Vowchan for a way to destroy the human plague that set upon our land."

Invention and Sainthood
As the war between the ruling Krumboians and the oppressed D'Vowchanians raged on, Matthues was struck with genius, granted by D'Vowchan. He combined the cutting power of blades with the explosive power of grenades.

This struck D'Vowchan well, for he prizes both innovation and more efficient methods to murder his foes. Matthues was struck by divine inspiration to make this most holy of devices, D'Vowchan claimed on Matthues' ascension day. The nomination was done by General Lochest, a High Priest of D'Vowchan.

Wards and Realms
As an Ur, Matthues holds ward over a certain segment of society. He is most revered by grenadiers, artillerymen, foremen and farmers: Those who benefit directly from his invention. He is also very kind and given to those harmed directly from his invention, a trait many see as a strength, but D'Vowchan himself looks upon with disgust.
