Vorud is the name of a star reported by the ancient which they thought signaled the advent of various prehistoric cataclysms. The word Vorud is attested in Midretassene records (Vorudos, Vorudonos). It has corresponding names in the Jathya-Dhumi Language, the Ithradic Dwarven Language, the Amandal Dwarven Language, the Gorcorumbese Language, and the Ancient Hœrnectian Language. Some scholars believe that it was recorded among the ancient Sungotines. Dwarven legends report the star glowed with a deep, violet or purple cast during this time. Astronomers have sought to identify the particular star among modern constellations without consensus. The term Vorudian has come to mean anything of immense antiquity, but not so old as the Great Flood, and often associated with cataclysm.
