Backstory: At the start of the Orc revolt Slugoth joined up with a group of Orcs that began to pillage and rob nearby settlements and eventually set up to rob travelers going through the forest, declaring it a tax. On day a message arrived with a job offer to assassinate a noble in exchange for a hefty sum of coins. It would take a few days to travel to where the noble would be. During Slugoth’s watch shift he began to stare at the stars and became mesmerized, the stars then began to speak to him and told him that it was not the nobles time to die and that he must save him, this happened each night during the journey. And when the time came Slugoth saved the nobleman who asked what he would like as a reward. Slugoth told the noble of how the stars warned him and asked if he could help him learn more of the stars. The noble agreed and set up tutoring with scholars in Astrology who taught him to read a bit. When he learned what he felt the wise old men could teach him, he thanked his tutors and the nobleman and set off on his own, unsure of what to do but believing that the stars will guild him.

During his travels he joined a caravan to Fletcher’s Rest but before they could arrive they were attacked by bandits. Joining with a band of survivors they continued the journey to Fletcher’s Rest on foot. Along the way they had many struggles, the savage wilderness, a haunted tower, and a final showdown with the bandits who had attacked their caravan. From there they continued on to Cheqwood, where they were entangled in the mystery of missing boys. An Elf they called the Bonesmith, for his crafting with bone and wood, accused the boys of stealing his wares. While chasing down clues the group came across a den of beastmen Fomor led by a Warg named Kuthuk, who was in possession of the Bonesmith’s Goreblade, the cursed weapons made by the elf to drive the wielder into murderous madness. Sadly during the confrontation with Kuthuk, Slugoth was immolated by a blast of careless magical flame cast from a scroll by a travelling devotee of the New God.
Slugoth received a burial with all the rites and prayers awarded to a warrior of a faith not his own and his spirit did not rest easy, the stars were not through with him yet. On the next cloudless moonless night the stars looked down on his grave and beckoned him back to the realm of the living.
