of company. Many human tribes learned to tap into a
destructive force that knew no bounds—the Devourer
Wurm. Through sacrifice, ritual, and ordeal, barbarian
shamans learned how to supplicate and harness such
power, and the sacrificial rites of these tribes involved
cannibalism, mutilation, and all manner of depravity.
Eventually the tribes began to take on a new shape.
Some of them, led by shamans wise in the ways of the
Wurm, began to take ogrun, trollkin, and gobber
slaves. These tribes amalgamated into a complex tribal
society, sometimes led by humans or at other times
by bogrin or trollkin, and this eventually led to the
formation of the Molgur.
The Molgur were unlike anything seen before
or since. “Molgur” is an ancient word with a lost
meaning, but many say it is synonymous with ogrun,
for they still speak a variant of the original dialect.
In the past, however, the Molgur were perhaps the
most frightening sight a warrior-priest of Icthier could
face. Imagine a thousand fierce warriors tattooed and
painted with the blood of captured slaves and fallen
foes, frenzied all the more after having feasted on
the hearts of their enemies. They were referred to as
half-man and half-beast which coincides with historic
evidence that the Tharn also existed among their
number. Side by side, ogrun, trollkin, human, and
Tharn charged towards the spear and sword-wielding
men of ancient times like a wave of darkness against
the bright light of civilization.
Unexpectedly around 4,000 BR, storms and a vast
bright light erased the night in the lands surrounding
Icthier. From all accounts, the night sky became as
day with light shining in all manner of baleful colors.
The very earth opened up to swallow entire towns
and settlements while a rain of fire lasting sixty days
and sixty nights blasted the verdant plains of the
Bloodstone Marches. The shape of the land changed,
and overnight the northwestern lands of the Marches
became incredibly hostile. Lakes dried up, livestock
became barren, and the storms washing out of the
plains forced aggressive, dangerous creatures to roam
into human lands. The Time of the Burning Sky, as the
sage priest Angrund named it, scattered the Menites
of the northeast plains and forced the dwellers in
southern lands into the region near modern Caspia
and Sul. The proud city of Ancient Icthier, the first city
of men, was abandoned, and it would remain so for
several millennia.
