Virtos was a wizard who ruled over a small, ancient nation in the time of Arnd of Tdon.
Home
Because Arnd's time was before the Great Migrations, Virtos presumably ruled in the Oeridian homeland in the central plains of Oerik, west of the Flanaess before the long migration into what is now Ull.
History
Virtos was a feared tyrant, stripping the people of their rights and their wealth. All of the champions set to free them had failed, so the priests and great craftsmen worked together to create an Invulnerable Coat in order to endow a new champion with the strength and courage needed to defeat their oppressor.
They prayed for a champion and a humble priest from the south, Arnd, arrived and agreed to don the Coat and lead the people into battle. The victory was complete, and Virtos was defeated utterly.
Publishing history
Virtos is only mentioned in the Book of Artifacts (1993).
