Gordug Smasher was a Black Orc Warlord of the Dark Lands, who had, not long time ago, invaded Tilea with a great army of Orcs.[1a][2a]
His army was defeated in the Battle of the Long Knives by the Tilean mercenary general Giovanni Giuliani.[1a][2a]
History[]
Battle of the Long Knives[]
Gordug managed to build a massive army that began in the Dark Lands and followed the Silk Road to Tilea in the west. His raids met their end during the Battle of the Long Knives, as Gordug's Orcs were all but annihilated when Oglah Khan's Wolfboyz, a band of Hobgoblin mercenaries hired by the warboss in the Dark Lands, betrayed him and joined his rival, the Tilean mercenary general, Giovanni Giuliani.[1a][2a]
Aftermath[]
Barking Ripear, one of Gordug Smasher's Black Orcs, managed to survive Oglah's betrayal at the Battle of the Long Knives. He has formed a band of brigands just to kidnap members of the family of the last patron of Oglah, a Tilean duce. He hopes to use this leverage to lure Oglah into an ambush.[2a]
