Askor

Askor was a male wolverine member of royalty from the Land of Ice and Snow. He was the brother of Gulo the Savage and the son of Dramz. When Gulo went to murder Dramz, who advised that he and his brother share the power and the throne, Askor stole their symbol of power and departed in a small boat.

He arrived in Mossflower Woods ahead of his pursuers. Askor hid the Walking Stone in the area shortly before he died. A giant tree had fallen on him during a very large thunderstorm and pinned him, breaking his back. Wandering Walt and Hitheryon Jem found Askor as he lay dying, and the proud wolverine wouldn't accept help from any creature. Instead, he advised them to eat him before he went bad. The pair were shocked at the suggestion and refused. The last words of the wolverine were a riddle, in which the location of the Walking Stone was detailed.

Walt and Hitheryon could do nothing for his back or even attempt to move the huge tree as Askor lay dying. Amazingly, however, Askor gathered his last strength to push himself up and lift the tree. It wasn't enough to free him however, and he died right after the tremendous physical feat. Still, the pair could not lift the tree, so they covered him in leaf loam.

It was later mentioned by an old fox that Askor treated those under his power better than Gulo, and that it was less harsh serving under him. fr:Askor
