Morrgath the Harbinger

Born under a blood-red moon to an exiled orcish clan, Morrgath grew up in the desolate wastes of Korlan, where only the fiercest survived. As a child, he witnessed his family fall to betrayal within their ranks, leaving him to fend for himself in a brutal, unforgiving land. He hardened quickly, carving out his survival with sheer determination and brutality. By the time he reached adulthood, Morrgath had already earned a reputation as a ferocious warrior and cunning tactician, forging a warband from the broken remnants of scattered tribes. His ascent caught the attention of The Lady of Shadows, who saw in him not just raw strength but a calculating mind capable of leading her forces in the lawless regions of Korlan.

Under the Lady’s tutelage, Morrgath’s ambitions grew. She bestowed upon him the title of Harbinger, entrusting him with control over Khrodreg Grul, a vital yet volatile port town. It was here that Morrgath’s leadership was tested. Uniting the town's monstrous inhabitants—gnolls, goblins, drow, and others—was no small feat, yet Morrgath succeeded where others had failed. Through a combination of brutal enforcement and strategic alliances, he established order within chaos, ensuring that Khrodreg Grul became a hub of commerce and a stronghold for the Lady’s influence. His iron rule solidified the town’s reputation as both a haven for outcasts and a deadly trap for the unwary.

Despite his allegiance to the Lady, Morrgath is no mere servant. His loyalty is rooted in pragmatism, and he harbors ambitions that extend beyond Khrodreg Grul. Aware of the Lady's shadowy plans, he views his position as a stepping stone to greater power. Still, his rule is marked by a fierce, almost paternal care for the monstrous races under his command. To them, he is both protector and punisher, a figure who ensures their survival in a world that seeks their destruction. While outsiders see him as a ruthless warlord, those under his banner know Morrgath as the unyielding force keeping the chaotic tides of Khrodreg Grul from consuming them all.
