Starcrag Foothills

The Starcrag Foothills, like the nearby Starcrag Range, fall outside the dominion of the great mountain dwarf clans who rule over the balance of the Stoneheart Mountains.
Instead of dwarves, roving bands of hobgoblins infest caves burrowing into this range of hills, some of which are oddly shaped. Some scholars speculate that the strange configurations may not be of natural origin. The most prevalent theory implies they are Hyperborean or Hundaei burial mounds, though several excavations in the region have yielded no evidence of any ancient tombs. The hobgoblins inhabiting the area pay titular fealty to the masters of Exor, Smashed Skull, and Bone Hollow in the nearby mountains. Although a handful of hobgoblin outlaws still roam the area seeking recruits to further their ambitions to reclaim their former glory or establish a new hobgoblin dynasty, the vast majority of these individuals are the descendants of deserters, fugitives, and mutineers. An aggressive and slightly unbalanced hobgoblin named Hroggar currently seeks recruits for just such a cause. The traitorous Hroggar foolishly attempted to stage a coup against King Teth Khan of Exor. The ill-conceived plot quickly unraveled and left the rebellious hobgoblin and his loyalists in a tricky spot. Hroggar fled in the aftermath of the catastrophe; his followers were not as lucky. The last sensation they experienced was the executioner’s cold steel blade slicing through their outstretched necks.
