Whitney: A couple of the younger men in the camp, obviously attracted to you and your courtly manner, try to strike up a conversation by disclosing rumors and tails of the mad Hurazrod. Apparantly, he served as a mercenary with the King's army in the east, fighting the barbarian heretics there. In those dark lands, he came under the corrupt influences of a tribe of demon worshipers. He performed so well in battle and had the loyalty of so many warriors, however, that he was given the command of the local royal garrison in these parts, despite his debaucherous ways. It was at this point that he began to sieze serfs off of the King's lands and experimented in sacraficial rituals to call upon demons. He made alliances with the Crooked Tusk orcs, and was said to be building an army in support of the coming Usurper King, who is known to be of Southern stock. Hurazrod was stopped by the intervention of the Paladins of Lothar, who attacked his keep and murdered all those who rebelled against the rightful King. These included multiple peasents who served the fiendish warlord as well as sever local Southern Lords, causing widespread local discontent.
