THE 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.
