Malung Ula, born Malung Polpaidu (388 - 415 - 722) was a [[Khutu|Khutuan]] farmer, soldier, and saint. Born into a common lineage in southern Khutu, his early years were undistinguished, as a farmer, until the outbreak of the [[Khutu-Taizian Wars|second Khutu-Taizian war]] in 414, when he enlisted as a solder and fought along the [[Ujon River]] before dying near the war's end. Awakening as a saint, Malung quickly attracted a cult of former soldiers throughout northern Khutu. During [[Eluli's Slumber]] (437-441) and thereafter, Malung distinguished Himself as a military advisor to the [[Sentinel|sentinels]], and was one of the strong supporters of the [[Great Purge]] of [[Hulti]] a century later. Malung was viewed by friends and opponents alike as brusque and intransigent, but powerfully loyal, a quality that [[Eluli Ula]] valued in Him.

In 722, a group of assassins targeted Malung during [[Romokh]] celebrations, when He was brought out to the shores of the small lake next to His cult temple. Despite Malung's considerable military prowess and powers, and despite the presence of several important sentinels, Malung was destroyed and the assassins escaped, except one who was killed. Upon questioning the deceased assassin, it was determined that she did not know who had hired her for the job and that she had no political motivations of her own. In the wake of the assassination, three theories circulated about the attack. First, it was speculated that it was [[Taizi|Taizian]] reprisal for some offense due to Malung's military role. Second, some hold that it was a Hulti attack, with various names thrown around as the potential assassin. Finally, there are those who whisper that Malung had quarrelled with other saints, and that this was an elimination of a rival by a fellow saint (again, with various named perpetrators). No one has ever been tried for the crime, and the Malungi lineage has repeatedly cried out for justice and further investigation, with limited impact.
