Guide to Grimsburgh

Shards colony.
Lord shard, half-orc and apparent Longstorian, has established a well-known colony of non-humans, lepers and outcasts within Bradley forest. He and his people have often aided Grimsburg against their many enemies, because of this, it is illegal to refer to them as foulspawn. They are considered citizens of Ithron and have full rights and privileges as such.

Public enemies

Red mask orcs A tribe of local orcs involved in banditry and murder, mercenary by nature and enemies of Lord Shards colony, recognised and named after their red coloured bandit masks.

“Lord” Weelsby

The former lord of Grimsburg was executed during the Storveggan invasion in 996, on the day of the battle that restored Grimsburg to its rightful owners, lord Weelsby returned as an undead creature at the head of a skeletal army. He is currently raising another army to attack Grimsburg and take it as his own. Most believe him to be some sort of lich currently.

Nathaniel

This witch specialises in demonology and has been a thorn in Grimsburg’s side for over a decade. His most recent plan was the Storveggan invasion which almost resulted in success, until the adventuring community defeated him once again. Cursed by his demonic master he remained on the Weelsby estate with his arch nemesis Weelsby unable to die or leave the area. Recently he seems to have recovered some of his power and freedom as he was seen near Killinghome with armed locals bearing enchanted weapons.
The two were once at war but now seem to have joined forces against Grimsburg, the last encounter on the fields outside the town consisted of Weelsby’s undead and Nathanial’s demonic allies. Both have incorporated the aid of “red mask orcs” and human mercenaries as their mortal allies.

[Sigmund] Bloodaxe

An axe-wielding Storveggan bandit left over from Nathanial’s big raid and follower of the nameless one (1). He promoted himself as a folk hero amongst the farmers out of town defending the peasants from foulspawn, who in all probability he had paid to make the attacks.
In recent events he was wounded by a werewolf known as the Linshire beast and escaped, ironically a priest of Longstor then cured the Linshire beast of Lycanthropy but blood axe remains at large. His last movements were rumoured to be away from Grimsburg to the south

The Linshire beast

was a werewolf that stalked the lands around Grimsburg attacking nameless one followers and the cult of the new dawn. It was discovered that “the beast” was in fact a Longstorian who sinned, was excommunicated and cursed. The werewolf was cured through a ritual of atonement carried out by the chaplain of the Grimsburg church. He is now restored to full rank and his sins are washed away with the blood of his penance.
