Personal history
Gruntok grew up in an Ogre warband that roamed the wastes of northern Droaam, pillaging and plundering as they saw fit until the Daughters of Sora Kell conquered the land and demanded fealty.
While his brethren refused to bow down, Gruntok felt it was prudent to embrace change rather than face oblivion and after the inevitable death of the rebels, Gruntok moved on to find his palce in the new Droaam that didn't involve violence. Studying under the tutelage of a Medusa diplomat named Casssandra in The Great Crag, Gruntok became a skilled orator and negotiator.
When the Glimmerstone rush began, he saw an opportunity to make use of his skills in a less crowded place as the growing city was becoming too cramped for him. Not long after his arrival to Brightrock, he proved himself so valuable to the running of the town that they elected him a councilor.
