The Tale of Orog

The Tale of Orog is the story of the mythical first hobgoblin, Orog. It is a cultural origin story of the hobgoblin people. The story is largely an oral tradition, though versions of it have been recorded in several documents and manuscripts.

Description

According to hobgoblin myth, they were born from an ancient god who struck a great red mountain with a divine axe. The stone cracked completely, like an egg, and emerging from the rubble came the first hobgoblin.
According to hobgoblin stories and myths, this first hobgoblin was named Orog, from whom the mountain chain takes its name, and the two halves of the cracked mountain are said to form the Orog Pass, now known as Hezrou Pass.
Some of the stories involving Orog speak of engagements he had with an urskan camp.
