Imimorûl
Imimorûl is, in the Nonman tradition, the progenitor and father-creator of the Nonman race, from whom all Nonmen are descended. He is named in The Chronicle of the Tusk as Father of the False . In the Chronicle of the Tusk Imimorûl is presented as a once-glorious God who was exiled from the heavens and entombed far below the earth for the crime of teaching sorcery to the Nonmen. This is disputed by the Nonmen, who claim that Imimorûl sought refuge in the "Deepest Deeps" as a way of evading the eyes - and thus the judgement - of the Gods. According to Nonman scripture, Imimorûl fell in love with the beauty of the World and fled from the "starving sky" to live in the deeps. He cut pieces from his flesh and implanted them in the wombs of lions, which resulted in the creation of sons and daughters. In the legends of Siöl , Imimorûl founded their Mansion directly and died of advanced age, succeeded peacefully by his eldest son, Tsonos . This account was heavily disputed by Nihrimsul , which instead claimed that Imimorûl founded and ruled their Mansion first. Tsonos and his sister Olissis , who were lovers as well as siblings, murdered Imimorûl in his sleep and fled in terror of their siblings to found Siöl. This disputed account led to millennia of discord between the two Mansions, leading to the Thousand Year Siege and the later conflict between King Sin'niroiha of Nihrimsul and King Cû’jara-Cinmoi of Siöl. The time when Imimorûl lived is unfathomable, except it was certainly many thousands and potentially tens of thousands of years before Arkfall .

The Psalm of Imimorûl

The World to him, who sings my song, for I am the Font, the Spirit of the Deepest Deep, and mine is the first heart to beat your blood. The World to him, who sings my song. I, Imimorul, fled the Heavens, so much did I love the brooks that chirrup, the high mountains that hiss, the myriads that bolt through this blessed hair, The World to him, who raises up rooves in the Deep. I, Imimorul, did flee the Starving [sky], so much did I fear the Heavens, the wrath of those who were wroth, who would forbid my love, of the myriads of the World. The World to her, who kindles her fire in the Deep. I, Imimorul, did cut from my hand my fingers, and from my arm, my hand, and from my body, my arm, and these pieces of me I did place in the wombs of Lions, so that I might dwell content in my own company. And I became One-Armed, Imimorul, the Unshielded. And you were as children to me, the form of Gods as the issue of Lions, sons who would father nations, and daughters who would mother the myriads of the World. And I sang to you such songs as are only heard in the highest of Heavens, and nowhere in the Hells. We did weep together, as we sang, for woe cares not for names or glory only that skin blackens for bruising, breaks for blood. The World to him, who sings my song. The World to him, who finds me in the Deep. The World to him, and woe.

Immaculate
"Immaculate Rim" The Immaculate Rim or Orimuril ("Scarp" to men) is one of the Sublime Contrivances of the Artisan Emilidis , a fabled set of armour worn by the great Nonman hero Sûjara-nin , the fabled Red Ghoul of Eärwa . The Rim is armour of the finest nimil which also twists reality around the wearer, inverting gravity itself. This can be used offensively (to throw enemies into the air or sideways) or defensively (to allow the wearer to run up walls as if they were the floor and evade attack). The fate of Sûjara-nin's and his armour is unknown.

Imogirion
"Battle of Imogirion" The Battle of Imogirion was a major engagement during the Cûno-Inchoroi Wars . It took place during the five centuries that separated the Battle of Pir Minginnial and the Battle of Isal’imial and was notable for being the only major Cûnuroi military campaign undertaken by sea.

Prelude

Following the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Pir Minginnial, the great alliance established by Cû’jara-Cinmoi shattered. Each Nonman Mansion chose to defend its own Reach , with High King Sin’niroiha of Nihrimsul and Ishoriöl unable to hold them together. Ishoriöl endured five long sieges, each lasting more than a decade at a time. During this period the other Nonmen Mansions mainly took defensive action, but distant Illisserû - the most nautical of the Mansions - realised that this would ultimately lead to defeat. Taking the initiative, Illisserû assembled a great host and fleet and sailed from the Meneanor Sea , through the Straits of Bajeda and west into the Great Ocean . They turned north for thousands of miles along the coast until they reached the Leash , the straits separating the Yimaleti Mountains from Injor-Niyas . Finally, the fleet landed on the shores of Agongorea . The army disembarked and struck for the Incû-Holoinas .

The Battle

Relatively little is known of the battle, save it was one of those counted as taking place on the Inniür-Shigogli , the plain before the Ark, so presumably the host of Illisserû made it that far. Illisserû was attempting to take the Inchoroi by surprise, possibly whilst they were still besieging Ishoriöl, but this seems to have failed. The Nonmen army was destroyed and put to rout. History records a "nocturnal slaughter" on Agongorea, suggesting that the survivors of the army were destroyed by night as they fled back to their ships. There were only one hundred survivors of the battle. Only one of the Nonmen warriors present, Moryror, survived the tempests, storms and shipwrecks that consumed them to see Illisserû again. The rest of the martial force of Illisserû was utterly destroyed.

Aftermath

The Battle of Imogirion convinced the remaining Nonman Mansions of the folly of each continuing to fight alone. Around the time of this battle, or possibly later, Ishoriöl finally broke the back of the Inchoroi besieging armies. By this time Nil’giccas had succeeded his father and, as a Son of Tsonos through his mother, was able to establish a new coalition, which finally threw back the Inchoroi in defeat at the epic Battle of Isal'imial, which finally saw the Incû-Holoinas itself boarded and sacked. Illisserû endured, but the loss of almost its entire warrior caste left it relatively defenceless. During the Cûno-Halaroi Wars it fell to the invading armies of men relatively easily. The Mansion stood empty for nigh four millennia, until Anasûrimbor Kellhus gifted it to the Swayal Compact as their headquarters, now named Orovelai.
