DELBOR OF GURTH

Delbor of Gurth, son of Mumbar, son of Goobar, was the father of Barbel of Gurth and one of the two closest advisors to Lord Dimwit Flathead (770~789 GUE), the other being Lord Feepness. More subservient than the lord, Delbor was much more favored, as is clearly displayed in the following letter:

To my King and my God, the Lord Dimwit Flathead the Ever-Subtle:

 

Swiftly the winds blow to me the blessed news of your eternal and sweeping mercy. Truly Quendor counts itself amongst the most lucky of all worlds to have none other than your Holiness and Beneficence as its sovereign lord. Even in my most distant and frigid northern retreat, made ever worse, my Lord, by its distance from you, even in these grey mountains the sounds of your royal summons bring life to the very snow and ice. Truly, your word, my Lord, can do all things: the ancient Westlands break their fast on Antharian granola at your whim. The malodorous surmin smells as roses at your decree. My Lord, no mighty steed, no magical spell, nor even the shortest route across the magnificent mountains that bear your name can return me to your side as quickly as my heart would beg. Your servant in grateful humility,

 

Delbor of Gurth


After the death of Dimwit Flathead in 789 GUE, the infamous Delbor Telegram (which some suspect is a forgery) was sent to Loowit Flathead in the Westlands to urge him to voyage across the Great Sea to Flatheadia and claim his kingship.


To Loowit Flathead:

Statue of Dimwit annoyance to residents at Fublio. Stop. Annoyance revealed by

Megaboz at dedication banquet. Stop. Dimwit dead. Stop. Brothers and sisters all

dead. Stop. You king. Stop. Empire to collapse in 94 years. Stop. Come quickly.

Stop.

Delbor, son of Mumbar, son of Goobar, for the Regents of Quendor.
