History
Vadim Halforcen is an half
Orc half
Hobgoblin, born from the
Redfang clan, his green skin set him appart despite his impressive build. Outcast from his own clan, he formed a band of mercenaries, the Ivory throne.
Under Vadim’s leadership, the throne has grown to over a hundred strong, mostly half orcs and hobgoblins outcast, and now they handle multiple contracts simultaneously, occasionally banding together to fight as a single unit in battle.
Vadim runs the throne from the Hanging Tree, his tavern where he plays the role of barkeep. Here, clients in the know can discreetly indicate their desire to hire bounty hunters, cutthroats, or thieves by ordering a boiling oil, a mundane blend of whiskey and rum that appears on no menu. Once the drink is ordered, Vadim himself appears at the table, ready to do business. He prides himself on remaining politically neutral and treating all potential customers as equals, something that chafes a few of his clients.
Hidden beneath the Hanging Tree tavern is the true headquarters of the Ivory Throne, a base with deadly defensive measures and lavish ornamentation. Here, Dohma Raskovar plots new jobs with his mercenary band and stores his treasures.
