Attributes
NotesDeath h-335. Killing blow by Faust — politically significant: the contract chain (Griva → Sildwell → Faust) means Gorefist was ultimately killed by a shadow operation, not an honorable battle duel. Anton was present but did not land the kill. Grakar was also killed by Gorefist in the same battle — both blood enemies died in the same fight. Warstones clan fate post-Gorefist unresolved. Primary antagonist. Descended from his mountain home in search of an army. Seized control of orc tribes through raw strength. Currently holds: Relic of Ice (own), Relic of Wind (from Racheal Glass), Relic of Power (from Harlow Stormmaster), Relic of War (from Bethany Fey).
TitleWarlord of the Warstones; Orc-King of the Eastern Reaches
FearsIrrelevance — losing a battle was survivable, but losing the war of reputation was not.
Death Year H335
MotivationsAnnihilate the Bloodmound Orcs (Grakar's clan), secure all relics of power, and turn west toward Starfall and the wider lands.
PersonalityRuthlessly ambitious — conquest was never enough; he needed acknowledgment of dominanceTactically pragmatic — used prisoner leverage, trade-house deals, and assassins as readily as armiesHeld a warrior's code just legible enough to make him dangerous in negotiationsNamed Anton Galund personally as a worthy trophy — rare respect from a rare enemy
