Glaard the Goblin King

Glaard the Goblin King is the exceptional king of goblins. Legend has it that Glaard is a unique birth, one that comes once a millennium. Though abandoned soon after birth in a deep, dark ravine, Glaard showed great talents. His strength dwarfed that of an orc's and his life force surpassed even spirits. Glaard's malice took root within the fortress like ravine and he sought to destroy others. Applying his incredible intelligence and power to unite the goblin's, Glaard's malicious conquest began. Slaughtering indiscriminately, he spread terror among other races far and wide, whilst bringing large hordes of wealth to the goblin race. Many rare and powerful pieces of equipment has come to be in his possession throughout the years, luring many to challenge him. Renowned warriors one after the other attempted to slay the despicable Goblin King, though they were all unsuccessful in their attempts, except one.

Many centuries ago, a Hero lead the human armies to the vicinity of the unified goblin tribes. In the dead of the night before dawn broke, the Hero caught the near immortal Goblin King off guard. The Hero slashed Glaard's right eye and cut the King's left foot, nearly overwhelming the powerful Glaard. However, while the Hero moved in to cut down Glaard, a hail of arrows rained down upon the Hero and the Goblin King. The impatient and greedy humans intervened on the fight as an opportunity to take out both the Hero, rising in fame and influence, and the problematic Goblin King.

The Hero was hit and wounded by the arrows of allies and the cries of the humans woke the sleeping Goblins. A large battle broke out between the humans and the goblins and in the confusion that ensued, the Goblin King took the chance to grab the wounded Hero by the shoulder and stab them with his prized great sword.

In the battle, the humans overwhelmed the goblins who were caught off guard and decimated their numbers. Aiding the wounded Goblin King a handful of goblins escaped the battle. They fled to the deep, dark ravine that started the Goblin King's evil ambitions. To this day, that is where the Goblin King remains.
