Gregen the Strong

Gregen the Strong was a human warrior and leader. He is a popular folk hero among some southern human cultures, but particularly in the Thronelands. Around the early 1500s pre-Common Age, he participated in the Great North Wars and proved to be decisive in uniting the scattered human tribes of the time into a powerful standing army. Dozens of songs and folk tales have been written about him and his supposed exploits. 
==Life==
Gregen was probably born in one of the dozens of human villages in pre-Common Age Varakadak. According to many legends, his mother was a human but his father was Tag, the god of strength. 
Arguably Gregen's most celebrated act was smashing open the helmet of the orc warlord Gilagraf the Invincible, who had previously defeated over a dozen human champions in combat. In battle, Gregen wielded a huge two-handed sword called Ograbin. 
==Legacy==
Dozens of Gregen's alleged exploits are catalogued in popular folk songs, most of which originate from the earliest years of the Common Age. It is extremely common to hear at least one song about Gregen when dining in a tavern in Corgana or the Thronelands. The most popular by far is called "Upon Standstone," which describes the event of Gregen defeating Gilagraf the Invincible.
