Emerald Claw

Thirty years ago, the young half-dragon hobgoblin warrior Azarr Kul discovered the abandoned temple and was awed by the teachings of Tiamat he read on the walls therein. He abandoned Maglubiyet, the traditional deity of his people, and dedicated himself to leading the rest of his nation to Tiamat’s worship. Over the next twenty years, Azarr Kul grew into a powerful warlord and a mighty priest of Tiamat. Early in his rise to power he struck up an alliance with the blue dragon Tyrgarun, his own sire. Aided by this powerful ally, Azarr Kul converted his entire tribe into fanatical worshipers of Tiamat. He renamed the tribes that had fallen under his wing the Emerald Claw and began to lay his plans for the conquest of the Free Marshes. Dedicating themselves to the Queen of Evil Dragons with the fanaticism of the recently converted, the members of the Emerald Claw grew strong, stronger than any Free Marsh tribe before them. Adopting the standard of the Green Dragon hand, an ancient symbol of Tiamat’s cult, Azarr Kul created an elite caste of warpriests, monks, and dragon-favored champions to lead the Emeral Claw.
Late last year, Azarr Kul and his dragon-worshiping zealots destroyed the last opposition to his supremacy over the Free Marshes tribes, slaughtering the Black Knife Goblins and the tribes allied to them in a ferocious onslaught. The survivors accepted his suzerainty and were absorbed into his realm. Azarr Kul named his new kingdom Harg Kulkor, or “Land of the Dragon.”
After a long season of rebuilding his strength, offering bribes to many of the intelligent monsters in the region, and reinforcing the power of his Emerald Claw warpriests over the disparate tribes he ruled, Azarr Kul finally turned his attention to the lands beyond the Free Marshes. What he saw whetted his ambition for power. The High Wyrmlord dreams of carving out a hobgoblin empire stretching from the The Thousand Steppes to the The Wardens Bay.
