The Black Herald

History

During the time of exploration into an unknown forest, a group of a camp was found dead, the land about barren and tainted. The mountain above this forest tore itself apart, spewing flame and hot lava flowed, burning the woods. Walking in the burning trees was The Black Herald. Believed to have been the leader of the unnamed expedition of explorers, his mind is as twisted as his figure is gruesome.

Appearance

Monstrously standing at 9 feet tall, the Black Herald is robed in black and grey robes, with a helm of steel. His robes are wrapped into his helm. The crown of his helm covers his eyes, or what is considered to be where his eyes are, for he lost them in his servitude to Gholoth (The Mountain God of Thollgund), with inscriptions of arcane meaning. Perhaps the most drastic feature being his grotesque and massive mouth, splitting his lips as he speaks. His priest-like robes demand a respect as he sees to Gholoth's will, and meeting any who wish to enter Thollgund. He holds no weapons or blade, opting for protection in words.

Purpose

Through means of sorcery, the Black Herald will serve his master with in giving him sacrifices, and granting him servants in succesfully completing the will of Gholoth has granted him unnatural long life, and strength tenfold of what should be deemed rational. His position as High Priest of the Black Cult has lifted him to perhaps the greatest stature in Thollgund that is possible, his prominent role letting him a demeanor of both terror and knowledge.
