Many strange stories have been told about Dawan Horseskull, an
Orc of the
Horseskull clan also known as the Hunter's Curse for his sabotage of sporting hunts. Some say he was raised by beasts, and that's why he protects them. Others say he's a simple-minded brute who knows no other life. Still others believe that he doesn't exist at all, and he's merely a superstition created to scare strangers away from the wilds. None of these stories are true, and many of them were designed to belittle the fearsome druid, because few hunters have ever found any other way to defeat him.
