| Ulim remembers his first years fondly. While he was not living in the lap of luxury, he did not want for anything. As a child he was known among other parents for being exceedingly polite and friendly, and was quick to make friends. He was not universally loved though; he became known for vehemently protesting any bigoted behavior on the part of the noble families higher in stature than him. While not making him or his family any less influential than they already were, it became clear that he was not interested in the snooty habits of those in power. | | Ulim remembers his first years fondly.
