death (circa 2,045 BR), Khardovic had converted over<br />

a million savages to the worshipping of Menoth.<br />

The priest-king’s bloodline endures to this day;<br />

indeed, the people of his nation’s origin are called<br />

Khards. Fierce loyalty to his ideals and the ideals of the<br />

nation he called his “motherland” have instilled what<br />

is now Khador with a nationalistic pride back to the<br />

time of his reign. Some records suggest that Khardovic<br />

may have lived <strong>for</strong> over 150 years, and other chronicles<br />

show that he fathered over 30 sons and daughters<br />

to eight different wives during the span of his life.<br />

Because of this, almost every Khadoran noble claims<br />

some connection to the ancient priest-king.<br />

The Fall of the Molgur<br />

The Warlord Era closed with the extermination of<br />

the Molgur. The tribes had fallen into decline beneath<br />

the arrows and swords of Caspia and Khard. Ogrun<br />

and trollkin separated into their own clans while some<br />

ogrun fled east eventually settling in Rhul and <strong>for</strong>ming<br />

kinships with the dwarves. Others fled south and across<br />

the sea, eventually embracing the teachings of Lord<br />

Toruk. The trollkin developed their culture and took<br />

what attributes from the Molgur that were unique to<br />

them. Kith and kriel became vitally important as well<br />

as the worship of Dhunia. Goblinkind, both gobber<br />

and bogrin, also began <strong>for</strong>ming independent kriels<br />

with some taking to Dhunia worship. As the Molgur<br />

faded, so did the structure that had once unified these<br />

races in mad savagery.<br />

The Warlord Era was a time of great strife, and<br />

stability increased as the constant warfare subsided.<br />

New innovations introduced such weapons as<br />

crossbows and steel blades and production facilities<br />

like waterwheels and mills. With the passing of that<br />

age the world grew more civilized, less driven by<br />

nature and the need <strong>for</strong> survival. It was a world where<br />

the privileged could now control the populace around<br />

them and build success <strong>for</strong> themselves and a legacy<br />

that would endure with time.<br />
