Driven from the Old World at the end of the Goblin Wars
many of the Goblins, Orcs, Hobgoblins and other allied creatures fled
into the Dark Lands. The Dark Lands were then, as now, truly dark: ceaseless
volcanic activity, steaming tar pits and terrible, natural pollution shielded
the land from the sun. Little could grow in such a place, and very few
creatures could tolerate the barren landscape, the gloom and the choking
air. Throg, however, quite liked it.
From his armed camp on the eastern side of the World's
Edge Mountains, Throg gathered his seasoned warriors and began to carve
himself out a little empire. Soon a goodly chunk of the western part of
the Dark Lands were under his control, and he began to extend his power
deep into the mountains themselves. Here he and his Champion, Grunmunter
the Beast, fought numerous battles in the valleys and passes of the mountains,
and eventually within the Dwarf fortresses. His enemies were mostly Dwarfs,
and the Hobgoblins soon acquired a taste for the flesh of these creatures.
What became of this renowned fighter is a mystery, some say that he disappeared
whilst leading a mixed force of goblinoids into the Dwarf Fortress of
Raven's Hold. Others link his disappearance to treachery on behalf of
the ferocious Grunmunter, a callous individual.
| EQUIPMENT |
Sword and Shield. The sword carried by Grunmunter is
a heavily serrated weapon, forged specially for him. |
| BATTLECRY |
The strange and animalistic battlecry of these creatures
is in the Goblin Tongue. It means , 'Mark your target well and eat
it' |
| DEEDS |
Of all the many bloody and violent deeds of Throg the
most often remembered is the so called Feast of the Dwarven King.
On this occasion the Hobgoblins infiltrated the underground fortress
of Boran Fireheart a powerful Dwarf lord. The Hobgoblins secreted
themselves in the kitchens until the night of a feast, subdued the
servants and disguised themselves in the aprons and other clothing
of the waiters. That Boran Fireheart failed to notice until far too
late that his kitche n staff were all over 6' tall and incredibly
ugly, can only be put down to the general level of intoxication. The
feast went ahead as usual, but instead of the planned proceedings
the Hobgoblins ate Boran and his guests, while Throg entertained by
torturing a troop of Halfling Juggler s unlucky enough to be passing
through. |
| SHIELD |
The shields carry the emblem shown drawn in the blood
of their enemies. Colours will therefore vary from bright red to darkish
brown or black. |
| UNIFORMS |
Clothing is mostly made out of leather or fur, and is
of various shades of brown. Grunmunter wears a huge fur cloak, and
around his heavy belt he keeps his latest trophies - the heads of
his victims. |
