       Thorax the Impaler, Exarch of Grummush (Deceased)
       By: Okakouta Date: May 12, 2014, 3:58 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Thorax the Impaler acts as a commander of the orc forces of Thar
  HTML http://dndgurnee.createaforum.com/thar/
       and one of its leaders,
       "elected" purely due to his immense strength and alleged
       recognition by the orc God Grummush.
       Despite being one-eyed Thorax has absolute confidence in his
       skills - in fact, having one eye brings him closer to his deity,
       whom Thorax represents by slaying all who would oppose them as
       an Exarch.
       The message that Thorax the Impaler was responsible for leading
       the orcs in the take over of the Monastery of the Yellow Rose
  HTML http://dndgurnee.createaforum.com/lore/monastery-of-the-yellow-rose/<br
       />and personally defeating Dik, the master of the Monastery, has
       spread throughout the region of Grand Halen
  HTML http://dndgurnee.createaforum.com/grand-halen/
       and Damara
  HTML http://dndgurnee.createaforum.com/damara/,
       leading to concerns
       of invasions.
       After rallying his forces at the Monastery, Thorax led them on a
       march through Damara, nearly destroying
  HTML http://dndgurnee.createaforum.com/misc-lore/the-miracle-at-helgabal/<br
       />the capital, Helgabal, in their wake.
       Thorax was next seen just outside of Calaunt, Grand Halen's
       largest city, barely alive. His right arm had been severed above
       the elbow, and it was obvious that the wound had not received
       proper treatment, and that he had not eaten in quite some time.
       He was taken prisoner and transferred to the dungeons of
       Bardertown. He claimed that he had resurrected the orcs' fallen
       god, Bane, but that instead of leading them to a new age of
       prosperity, Bane corrupted Thorax's warband, turning them into
       hideous demonic creatures. When Thorax attempted to stop this,
       Bane destroyed his arm, and sent him fleeing for his life.
       The party, seeing a common enemy in Bane and the demonic orc
       horde, released Thorax from his prison during the undead attack
       on Bardertown.  He followed the party to Dragon Falls, and then
       through the Earthspur mountains, before finally turning towards
       the Monastery of the Yellow Rose and his people. He bid the
       party farewell, and thanked them for their assistance.
       During the Battle of Bloodstone, Thorax and his orc warriors
       came riding from the south upon the backs of great boars, and
       charged into the Fel Horde's flank. Thorax then fought his way
       to the Cormyrn forces, allowing them to escape encirclement. The
       combined forces of Cormyr and Thar then split the Fel Horde in
       two, before making a combined charge on Bane and his demonic
       orcs. Though Bane was forced to flee, and though many demonic
       orcs were slain, Thorax fell in the fighting.
