Karthog Shalog

== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Karthog was born in the Shalog clan village to his loving parents Olur and Dulug Shalog. Life in the clan for Karthog was simple. His time was spent training to join the raiding partys when he came of age, and reading books. At age 15 Karthog would be given the village role of "book bearer", and he would be in charge of protecting and maintaining the clans library. However shortly after Karthog turned 16, things would take a dark turn.
=== Loss of the Shalog ===
Two weeks after Karthog's 16th birthday, Elves launched an assult on the Shalog clan. This battle would last 3 hours, with every member of the Shalog fighting hard. In the end, only Karthog would remain. The place he had called home reduced to ruins covered in green blood. Karthog was sent to flee the village during the raid, and he would wander for many days. Karthog would eventually find some small ruins in Eldham he would call home for the years to come. This would peak Karthog's intrests in history and ruins for the rest of his life.
After the lose of the Shalog, Karthog's time would be spent all over Eldham. From exploring ruins to reading in some of the biggest librarys he could find. For many long years he would see the many sights Eldham had to offer, drifting from town to town. Rarely he would return to the small camp in some underground ruins he called home. This cycle of explore and come home would carry on for six years, untill one day inside the vally's of Rodinnbrok.
=== Life as a nomad ===
While exploring in the deep forests of western Eldham, Karthog would have a chance encounter with some ruins in a hollowed out dead tree. On the tree was a small opening filled with tiny wooden spiral staircase, each step more rotted than the rest. Heading down Karthog would find the stairs lead to small dug out rooms, each filled with wood to look like a cabin rooms. Each piece of wood had the carving style of wood elves. Pressing on Karthog would find nothing of importance, until the last room. A fair sized library lied at the end of these ruins. Sadly this library seemed to be completely empty. Only in the very back shelf was Karthog able to find something, a single old book. Opening the book reveled it to be a spell tome, filled with hexes and curses. Karthog would quickly shove it into his bag and leave the ruins, hoping to hurry home and add this book to his collection of books.
During Karthog's many years of exploring Eldham he came opon a ruined door inside the vally's of Rodinnbrok. Karthog over the spand of 1 year decided to excavate the ruins, with the blessing of the lands owner. Karthog would discover it to be the ruins of a lost dwarven city. When his excavation was complete, Karthog made a choice. He decided to rebuild the Shalog clan, using these ruins and the land around it as their home. The call for all Orcs, Goblins, Trolls and other great races was sent across Eldham. Now while the message travled, Karthog would begin to visting nations all over Eldham looking for potential kin.
Karthog would begin work on a weapon to kill elves in battle in revenge for his clan. Using the strongest metals in his possesion and the strenght of his harted, a sword of legends would be forged. The forging process would take two long days of on and off heat treatment. Clanking from the anvil for ring out into the underground of Duln Boldahr for hours on end. Once the blade was forged, all thats left was its name. This blade would be dubbed "Elves Bane", the sword to kill all elves. Karthog would plan to hunt and slay many elves using this blade. For his brothers and sisters of the Shalog may be gone, but they will not be forgotten.
=== Piratcy ===
After many months of trying to rebuild his clan, nothing has worked. Karthog was only able to find a few orcs, and none would stick around. The sad reality that Karthog was just not ready to rebuild the Shalog clan would set in. With this he would ponder what to do for a weeks time, then a decision would be made. He would leave Duln_Boldahr and serch for a new calling. With his love of treasure, combat, adventure and many pirate friends the choice was obvious. Karthog would set sail to a small Rodinnbrok island dubbed Grog Grotto and become a pirate. With this the Greenblood Pirates were born.
