Harztil

Harztil was the twentieth King of Poros. He tried to conquer the lands of the Noldon, and almost won, but was driven back by Spino, son of Spido.

History
When Prince Spino was 16 years old(Spiro was 29), Harztil and Sortil led a huge army against the Noldon. Spido put up a good resistance, but the Porosians landed in Minas Etheir(the only port in the western Noldon lands)and took it. Spido immediately rode with an army(led by Spiro, Raptoro[who was the same age as Spino], Spido and Raptoro's uncle). Spido told Spino to guard Minas Eldan. Spino, who didn't like Eldan very much, rode to Minas Dino, his favorite fort, instead. He then sent Pternos, Lord of the Pterosaur Section in the Noldon Army, to Minas Eldan to guard it. Spino himself guarded Minas Dino nicely and went to read The Battle on the Ardinian Plains by Spitestor (the nephew of Crido) in the royal library.

Meanwhile, Spiro had led his section of the army to Minas Etheir to drive back the Porosians. As they were fighting him, Spiro killed Sortil, prince of Poros. Full of anger, Harztil and Harfark marched towards Spiro. In the process, they left only 200 men in Minas Etheir and took all the other men. Quickly, Raptoro formed a plan. He asked Spido to go help Spiro, while he and his uncle would go into Etheir and kill the soldiers inside. Then Spiro and Spido could enter Etheir and close the gates. From inside, they could fight better. Spido agreed and rode off. Raptoro and his uncle rode into Etheir and attacked the 200 soldiers. They gave a signal and Spiro and Spido came in and closed the gates. But unfortunately, 200 more soldiers had been hiding deep in Etheir. Before anyone could stop them, they opened the gates. Chaos followed. The Noldon were losing as the Porosians attacked by sea AND land.

Just then, the sun rose. And far off, a horn could be heard. It was Spino, who had come with reinforcements(after placing a bookmark in his book)!! He had got bored and so had come to help. Now the tables turned. the Porosians were losing. Spido and Harztil had a duel and Hartzil died. Raptoro fought and badly injured Harfark, but Harfark escaped from the battlefield. The battle was over.
