Ound (Of Question) was born in 380, to a small group of migrating Easterlings. His father went by the name of Burg, he was the leader of the "horde". Ound was born somewhere in the far western portion of Eridador, in a large forest, in a cave, near a pond. On the night of his birth, three Shamans visited him. One went by the name of Dagûr, another by Sliu, and the last by Skenî. The first Shaman, Dagûr, prophesied that the boy would grow up to become a great warrior, conquering many lands of the west, raising mighty armies to fight his enemies, and gifted the child a mighty sword, engrained the symbols from the lore of the Shamans. The second Shaman, Sliu, prophesied that the boy would grow up to become a wandering shaman, travelling the lands of Eriador, and Beleraland, spreading faith to all creatures, and gifted the child a helmet, engrainded with a pheonix on the top. The third Shaman, Skenî, prophesised that the boy would grow up to be both a warrior, and a wandering shaman, a ''Uglí. He said to the mother and father of the boy "His name will be Ound, and he will travel all of the lands of the west, fighting evil, forging himself in light, and spreading faith to the  believers and unbelievers, and becoming a man of power, strength, cunning, intelligence, atheletiscim, and might. Take thy gift, for you have been given a Uglí by the Gods! Raise him in reason, doubt, and purity, he will always doubt the ways of old, and of new, he will question everything, and his downfall will be stomach of doubt that he fills, until he has to much doubt to do anything, but do not threat! He shall live many years! ''He gave the boy a staff, engraved with every story of old, of the gods, of spirits, and of men. The three wandering shamans left.

In the teen years of his life, Ound was a very strong boy. He had golden hair, and skin of bronze, he  could tell every story of old, and could pierce the heart of every creature with his sword. On the day before he and his tribe celebrated his day of birth, he was sent out to protect a shepherd's flock. On the way there, he encountered a raging bear. It charged at him, and he laid his great sword upon the beast's head, and wiped it clean off it's body. All of the sudden, he heard the roaring of fire, and the smell of smoke. He ran back to where his tribe had set up camp. Upon arriving he saw nothing but burning yurts. Everyone was gone. He went to his father's yurt. In there he saw his father's gift to him, armor engrained with runes of old, and pheonixes. He sat down, and wept for three days. He asked the gods why they had allowed this. On the third day, he came to realisation. The gods were calling him to do their will, the shamans will. He put on the gifted armor, the engrained helmet, grabbed his sword and staff, and any remainder of food left. He set out into the forest, travelling to Elven, Mannish, Dwarven, and even Orcish camps, learning, sharing, and teaching.
