The Kwythellar Elves - Goblins of Kresh
by Jeff DalyTHE KRESH
Descended from a long ago horde that sacked Davanian northern
realms, this group was split as a result of Kwythellar interference
in "local politics". The original group still seethes with hatred
and plans toward the day when they will once again be the terror of
the north.
The second group is known as "The MarKresh", which in the goblin
tongue means "The Reborn Killers".
They are descended from goblin slaves who were transformed by elven
magic. The purpose was to produce a strong, tall, disciplined slave
stock that would be superior to both human (Tanagoro) and goblin
stock.
What was produced instead was a race with goblin stature and
strength, human health and intelligence, and dwarven loyalty.
In an action that went down in Kwythellar history as the single
most disastrous folly ever, the MarKresh and a group of dwarves and
humans, escaped from the elven laboratories and into the dwarven
caves of the Duargor.
The Duargor, being reclusive and "not wanting to get involved",
sent them away just as elven ambassadors arrived demanding the
return of the fugitives.
The MarKresh and their dwarven and human allies, settled beyond the
gateway mountains in a sheltered valley. For decades the Kwythellar
conducted raids, attempting to either recapture or destroy their
failed experiment.
