One thought floats across the mind of the hobgoblin in between the flashes of pain and anger. "Karilan", these thoughts are accompanied by an image of a bull-headed creature, which you know is a minotaur, a creature of great strength and possesses the ability to charge using its horns, which can skewer a wild boar. They also possess a thick hide, great fortitude, and a natural cunning, despite their low intelligence.[sblock=stonegod]Additionally, you recall the tales of a keep located in the Witchwood of the Elsir Vale. For centuries the soldiers stationed at Vraath Keep were the primary defenders of the region. During the reign of Amery Vraath he laid claim to the whole of the Witchwood and sought to rid his realm of any evil influence. His chief targets were a tribe of forest giants that dwelt deep within the woods. The were known as the Twistusks and kept mostly to themselves but raided merchants on the Dawn's Way on occasion. Amery gathered together an impressive group of mercenaries and adventurers with great promises of wealth and glory and led them against the Twistusks. The battle was furious, but in the end the humans won the day and forced the giants to flee into the mountains. The soldiers burnt the giants villiage and returned to the keep, victorious. Yet, their victory was short-lived, as less than a week later the surviving giants returned and launched a surprise assault on the keep during a tremendous thunderstorm. The giants bombarded the keep with boulders and poisened javelins, which were less affected by the heavy winds. When the sun rose, and allies came to the keep to aid the defenders, they only found a few corpses of the giants, but none of the inhabitants of the keep were found. Rumours abound that Amery cowered in his vault after he was hit by one of the javelins, slowly perishing due to the poison. He is said to still haunt the ruins.
