Chapter 1

Kharthak comes from a small fire giant enclave deep underground, far from the
brilliant fires of Kiadana-Rah.Named Bahal-Rah, it exists next to one of
the many sprawling lava pools known to exist throughout the Underdark.

Its founding dates back to the coming of The Teacher and magic to the pits of
the giants ancestral home. Kharthaks ancestors, along with a decent number
of followers, were sickened by the ways of this Teacher, scorning his petty
words and spells for the pure physical prowess that had ever been the giants
way. Thus, after a brief but bloody conflict, they left to found a new home
where the One Law was truly that, and Strength and War were the only words to
live by.

As Kharthak grew to manhood, he lived like most of the other young men in the
village. When he was not out on a raid, he was training. He is the third
son of the Warlord, and as such is not in line for succession. Knowing this,
he focused all his energies on the ways of war.

Though the village had been isolated for centuries, in recent years some of
the youth had been caught drawing runes. Though they were suitably
punishedtheir tongues cut out so no spells could they speakthe cause of the
insurgency had to be determined. Kharthak investigated and found that the
lady of the village, his own mother, had obtained a tome from a nearby
duergar Clanhold and was attempting to learn the ways of the teacher. In his
disgust, he broke her neck.

His father, though secretly pleased with his sons strength and resolve, had
no choice but to order his death. Though a ghastly proclamation, such was
their way, and Kharthak was thrown into the arena with three hardened
warriors. Though he does not remember what ensued, it is said he went truly
berserk, fighting the three off and slaying them, though they had their
blades and he naught but his fists.

Winning his freedom, Kharthak left Bahal-Rah. He now travels the lands
seeking to destroy all disciples of the Teacher. The One Law still weighs
heavily on his mind, and he has no respect for those he views as weaker than
him. He is likely to challenge any that disagree with him, following their
decisions only if they best him in combat.
