Red Horde Campaign

Military action

A large horde of Hobgoblins begins to form along the north-western coast of Wosterhiem between Grabloff and Bulvirk. Conrad Hackon was made a provocateur, tasked with leading a team of specialists to deal with a rising warband. The mission almost ended in fatal disaster when his camp was ambushed and he alone managed to escape. Rather then return with news of failure, Conrad began to look for allies amongst the folk who dwelt in the lawless land, Fisher folk who lived on the rocky islands off-shore, and tiefling tribes that had built small enclaves in high valleys. He spent the next five years organizing a capable resistance against the growing horde, coordinating with smugglers who would deliver weapons and supplies to him and bring back reports from behind enemy lines. In the spring of his sixth year he led the coastal resistance on one front, while Bulvirk simultaneously attacked the horde on the other. It was a pitched battle, but ultimately the Hobgoblins were defeated and driven into the mountains.
