Purpose/focus
|
Half-orc mercenary outfit. The organization was first established Rhyshoon, Dunihk, working for the House of Amulon. As demand for mercenary services grew, the Brotherhood recruited half-orc fighters from around the kingdoms. Members of the Brotherhood have become heroes for young half-orc boys. Individual Holgl warriors can be contracted for appropriate work.
|
Character
|
"Gold pieces rule!" The organization reflects the character of the three brothers. Splitt, the elder, ensures the organization functions and is the contact point for clients. He is the controlling hand that keeps his two younger brothers in check. Raal and Henk are hot-tempered barbaric half-orc fighters; neither exhibits any fear and, if the contract is big enough, will lead the Brotherhood force personally. Raal is also known as "the bloody" - he relishes in slaughter and bathing in the blood of his victims. Henk is also known as “the impaler” - it is his preferred method of extracting information out of his vanquished foes.

Hierarchy

The Holgl Brotherhood is a flat organization. It is run from three heavily fortified locations: 1) A rambling palace in central Rhyshoon, Dunihk, from where all Dunihk and lower Nyslavadd mercenary needs are managed; 2) A foreboding keep that straddles the Broken Spine Mountains between Nyslavadd and Toroth, from where all central and Northern interests are managed; and, 3) a keep outside Grogash in northern Nyslavadd, that has become the meeting place and recruitment center for half-orc mercenaries. Raal is often found at this location.
