[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 5586013, member: 16069"] Ah-shahran shares his thoughts and knowledge- The Red Hand... over a century ago an army of mainly Orcs, but also Goblinoids, invaded the Nentir Vale- they destroyed most everything in their path. Fallcrest itself was reduced to a pile of rubble... it was the beginning of the points of light approach to the vale- very little survived. The symbol of the Red Hand was a Bloody Right Hand/Claw. The Hand held some areas within the Vale (Hammerfast) but for the most part was content to overrun and destroy most places. The Hand was lead by... well, that depends on who you listen to, favourites have included- Demons or Devils- they get the blame for most stuff. A cruel Dragon- see above. A Lich- again. The Hand were defeated by a group of adventurers, with help from a small but dedicated resistance movement, the adventurers were a mixture of local heroes and those from outside the vale. A lot of the events at the time of the Red Hand are unrecorded, the Vale- in the course of a year or two went from having a population approaching 150,000 to a population of 5,000-10,000. There were very few people around to witness the fall of the Hand, those that were around were generally hiding in order to stay alive. The Markelhay (the family that rule Fallcrest) were part of the resistance movement, as were several other prominent Fallcrest families. Fallcrest still has a little museum attached to the Temple of Erathis, run by a doddery old geezer, where the school kids are taken to learn about 'the past' and see some of the relics and remains of the time of Red Hand- mouldering old junk. Sinruth... you've never heard of him/her, clearly not a deity, so probably the name of the Goblin Chief or Commander. [/QUOTE]
