Searching for the Horde

Snake River - Outskirts of the Still Valley

Ch’Truta travelled as far from his Brood's hearth, as he had ever dared dream. His life has been consumed with guiding his people to survive among the dark and twisted swamps of the Umnac. The ones that had stayed after corruption came to the land, after the Devourer in the Mist claimed dominion over the heart of Arcadia.

His people were not known to wander away from the Still Valley but some did, seeking gold, plunder or trade in nearby Rorath or Barren Top. But these were rare. As the mountains of the Black Pinnacle grew smaller and smaller at his back, Ch’Truta made his way across the Snake River and stepped away from the Still Valley for the first time in his life.

He soon realised that others from far an wide had answered the call of the Ozainae. Blood and swords were coming to join the Horde for glory and gold.

One night he came across a camp with dozens of men and women, a flag with an red axe in a field of black fluttered in the wind...

He had heard stories of the warband, even in the heart of his homeland.

The Bloodletters.
