Olvin was a fair-haired king from Archenland. In 407, Olvin fought a two-headed Giant named Pire who was a threat to Archenland. Olvin managed to defeat Pire and turned him into stone, which was from then on called Mt. Pire. By this feat, he won the hand of the Lady Liln. The story was often told by minstrels, including a famous recital after the Battle of Anvard.
