Personal history
As Chieftan of the Sootscale tribe he led his people through battles with Mites, Caimen, Bandits, Undead, Trolls, Giants, Fey and many other dangers in teh Stolen Lands. In early 4170 AR a newcomer to the tribe rose to a position of influence. This strange purple hided newcomer, Shaman Tartuk, was able to build a significant following with his powerful magic.
This divided much of the tribe especially when the tribe's sacred icon, Old Sharptooth, was stolen by a band of tricksy fey. Shaman Tartuk claimed this was a portent of terrible doom should the sacred icon remain in Fey hands. He did this to encourage the anger and fear of the Sootscale Tribe which pushed Chief Sootscale to a more agressive and risky approach. Dozens of Kobolds were slain in battle with the Mites. Indeed the tribe may have doomed itself in it's efforts were it not for the aid of outsiders, the Rogue Talons, who agreed to aid the tribe in recovering it's lost artifact.
When the outlanders returned to restore the idol Shaman Tartuk encouraged those Kobolds loyal to him to attack which causes a brief but deadly civil war amongst the clan. Even more of the tribes members were slain in this violent battle than had been slain by the mites.
Fortunately this low point for the tribe was followed by a period of bounty under Chief Sootscale's leadership.
