In the year 342wr, the first Golric was born, when a Goliath man and an Orc woman fell in love with each other and had a child. Since then, small amounts of Golrics have popped up in the world. Being a half race, most Golrics don't have much of a history on their own. However, in 2090wr, a Golric settlement appeared in Drandar called Youlg. This settlement is considered a Bandit encampment, meaning that going near it is a bad Idea and all creatures that come from the settlement into a nearby town or village are arrested and questioned. However, it only attacks larger targets, such as large military caravans or Hoards being transported by Umber Hulks and mind flayers.
A Golric named Morden Nosebreak Youluaka had accidentally resurrected an old warrior in 1066wr. The old Warrior and Morden created a special Warpick called Negeria.
