Uraloabus

Uraloabus is named in The Dictionary (4th Edition) as the most prominent champion of Sphenics. His reputation is tied to a classic dialog that bears his name, in which he opposes Thelenes; accounts summarize that, after Thelenes’ dismantling of his position, Uraloabus publicly takes his own life. See the dialog Uraloabus for details of that portrayal.

As a Sphenic advocate, Uraloabus stands for positions associated with that current: disputing the views of Protas and, broadly, treating theorics as occurring “between the ears” rather than depending on external realities. The sources that name him do so to exemplify Sphenic thought in contrast with Thelenes and his intellectual heirs.

No direct biographical detail is provided beyond these attributions. Uraloabus endures in references as a memorable foil in the dialog tradition and as a shorthand for the Sphenic stance, rather than as a documented historical life with dates and places. His legacy is the cautionary example preserved in summaries and invocations of the classic dialogs.
