The eastern reach of the Bluff Hills was largely conceded to Tenh after that nation invaded the northern Combination in 578 CY. This effort to end the rampant banditry along its western border worked for a while. But when the province absorbed the Fellands through marriage between the ruling families in 581CY, the problem surfaced once again. Before Tenh could act on it, however, the armies of the Fist invaded its northern border. In 583 CY, Iuz’s armies swept into the Combination of the Free Lords and claimed the disputed lands for itself, along with much of Tenh.
Settlements and Locations within the Grand Clans of Grosskopf:
Narleon
Senningford
Stroun
In 583 CY, with the troops of Stonefist crowding Tenh and demon-led orc and hobgoblin armies rapidly approaching from the west, Grosskopf capitulated to Iuz. (Some men fled into the Bluff Hills, where they hold out yet.) Many Grosskopf raiders with cavalry skills elected to take Iuz’s suggestion that they relocate to the Barrens to fight the Rovers, with whom Grosskopf had clashed for many decades. The raiders live now at the Barrens’ regional capital, Grossfort, forming the basis of a sizable army known as the Marauders of the North. Other Grosskopf troops work with allied orcs and goblins at Senningford and Narleon, fighting Stonehold skirmishers and supplying Iuz’s troops in Tenh. Grosskopf and Fellands are both now controlled from the regional capital at Free City of RookRoost.
Bandit Kingdoms
-------------------The eastern Bluff Hills and lands south to the Zumker were held by Grosskopf, long friendly with orcs and their kin, Grosskopf was invaded by Duke Ehyeh Ill's forces in 578 and forced to restrain its banditry. This warrior realm absorbed the Fellands in 581, following a marriage between their ruling families, and raids into Tenh began anew late that year. In 583, with the troops of Stonefist crowding Tenh and demon-led orc and hobgoblin armies rapidly approaching from the west, Grosskopf capitulated to Iuz.
