Painlord Gorrak & the Tribes of Pain
The world of Thranok is not without its dangers and many of these wander
the outskirts of inhabited areas or lurk in the desolate places that people
avoid when they can. These creatures are driven by hunger or greed or even
the sheer pleasure they derive from causing pain and misfortune. Until recently,
these monsters and beasts of the wild were largely solitary and posed
little threat if one chose to avoid venturing into lands they claimed as their
own. Now a new threat has surfaced in the form of Gorrak, a terrible creature
bent on world domination. Wielding the magical abilities of a Master
Summoner and showing an intellect that is both keen and inventive, Gorrak
has set about organizing the solitary creatures of the world into a terrifying
army of bloodlust, the Tribes of Pain. Naming himself Painlord, he has
offered these creatures their darkest desires...power, chaos, wealth, destruction,
and indeed the slavery of the known world in return for their allegiance
to his banner. Gorrak himself is a terrifying creature and even the most
fearless monsters shudder at his presence. He is a tall, thin creature with
coal black eyes that stare out with malice from behind a mask of leathery
skins that have been stitched together. Just who these skins once belonged
to, or what Gorrak looks like beneath them, is a whispered mystery. Though
he clothes himself simply in fetid rags and animal skins, Gorrak wears upon
one of his fat claws a great ring of silver with a large emerald set into it. This
is his focus and he is never without it as he fears what might happen should
his chaotic band of fiends turn against him. Having discovered the location
of the island from an intercepted letter meant for Karras, Gorrak is racing to
the island with his strongest bodyguards to take the Shezarian Stones and
use their power to ensure the lasting glory and absolute rule of the Tribes of
Pain and their new Master Summoner-King! |
