Biography[]
Shadows of the Dark Crystal[]
UrVa was a hermit that lived in the Dark Wood, having separated from his brothers a long time ago. When trying to heal Oyeka-Staba, the Cradle Tree, that served as the keystone of the forest from the effects of darkening, he became trapped. He was eventually rescued by Gelfling travelers Naia and Kylan after Naia was able to dreamfast with the tree to try and discover the source of its pain. UrVa lead the Gelflings to his hut to stay the night and would lead them down to the Black River to continue on their journey.
Age of Resistance[]
During the events of Age of Resistance, urVa summons Aughra to him via arrow and helps her regain her connection of Thra.[2] However, Aughra warns urVa that his destiny is a final confrontation with his Skesis counterpart skekMal. While he fatally wounded skekMal at the Circle of Suns, they survived due to Aughra allowing her essence to be transferred into skekMal to renew his life. But this also revived urVa as he commits suicide to free Aughra's essence and end skekMal.
