Fintorf Oxway

Fintorf Oxway, Fintorf I is described in the Oxway Chronicles (ox. "Oxway Chraneclos") as the leader of the Central Human tribe settlement of Oxway, being the founder and first king of Oxway, which was named after him, reigning from the year 0 to 11. Subsequent kings of Oxway were each claimed by the Chronicles to descend in some manner from Fintorf and they all originated from the first dynasty in Oxway history, House of Fintorf.

Background
The Oxway Chronicles provide a pedigree tracing Fintorf's ancestry back to Lorfea and the Four Creators. This pedigree resulted from a process of elaboration upon a root pedigree borrowed from the leaders of several Fingunque tribes, and hence before Fintorf himself it has no historical basis.

First king of Oxway
According to the Oxway Chronicles, Fintorf and his people landed in what is today Firlonia. Humans living in the Ancient Age inhabited many small villages very close to Oxway Woodland, which was home to the Fingunques, ancestral race of Humans. He is said to have fought several other leaders of tribes, such as Jartend and Griffth. The Jartend tribe's chief is commonly identified as Pandor of Jartend. The conquest of the area in today's Central Oxway county is mentioned among his campaigns.

Fintorf's tribe founded the colony of Lorfea (present-day Town of Oxway) on a glade inside the outer areas of Oxway Woodlands, a vast wooded area. This makes it Oxway's oldest city. At the same time, other members of tribe penetrated parts of central Oxway, gradually spreading through the rest of the country throughout Fintorf's entire reign. The concept of Oxway emerged during this period, corresponding to the territories of present-day counties of Firlonia, Green Swamp, Springton, Macwyd and Bobiken on the East, and Andrenn, West Oxway, Lamprey, Deliteford and Hare Woods on the West. Oxway was then a prosperous country, of which the central part was heavily subject to Fintorf's cultural and economic influences.

The colony of Lorfea was initially a motte-and-bailey castle town with stone fortifications and a timber Lorfea chapel raised as a tribute for guiding the Humans on the sacred land. Fintorf established the title of king of Oxway during his coronation in January 1, of the year 0. According to Human culture, the coronation marked the official end of the Ancient Age, therefore the calendar and year-counting begins from this very day. During his reign, he expanded Oxwayan influence in the outer regions of his kingdom.

Fintorf is said by the Chronicles to have died in the year 11, succeeded by his son Toirdelbach.
