The people of the Dividing Plains do not know exactly
how many Slaughter Lords command the Ravagers. Some
reason that there are four major arms of the barbarian
horde, and that each arm is commanded by one of these
monsters. Inside the walls of the margrave of Westruun’s
keep, however, Margrave Zimmerset and his council-
ors worry over a graver matter: the Ravagers are too
well-organized to be led by war-crazed, drug-addled orcs.
Who, or what, is commanding the Slaughter Lords from
the shadows?

raVager sta BB y-sta BBer

Tales of the bloodthirsty Ravagers have spread from
Kymal across Tal’Dorei. Most adventurers and merce-
naries take up arms against the Ravager after hearing
stories of muscle-bound orcs terrorizing the free people
of the Dividing Plains. They are prepared for single
combat with great foes. They are not prepared for the
Ravagers’ most terrifying weapon: the stabby-stabbers.
Fresh-faced warriors from Emon laugh at the name
when they first hear it in Kymal’s taverns, but veteran
mercenaries close their eyes and hastily bury their face in
their tankards.
Goblins only join the Ravagers as slaves; spoils from
orcish raids of goblin nests. Those that show excep-
tional skill are brought before their Slaughter Lord
and forced to drink a terrible brew the orcs call
skullfire. The concoction burns what little reason

the goblins had away, turning them into perfectly obe-

dient, flesh-hungry monsters. In battle, stabby-stabbers

swarm like rats, eviscerating fleeing innocents and war-

riors alike in seconds.
