MOSTLY IMPERIALS, BRETONIANS, AND NORSE.
THESE GUYS HAVE BEEN ESCAPING FROM THE PLANTATIONS WESTWARD INTO THE OBSIDIAN PEAKS WHERE THEY WERE PRESUMED TO STARVE OR GET EATEN BY THE SHIT THAT LIVES THERE, OR PICKED OFF BY SHADES.
BUT THEY DON'T,
AND THEY KEEP PERAMBULATING THROUGH THE MOUNTAIN HOLLERS FOR A GOOD THOUSAND YEARS, MULTIPLYING, GETTING EATEN BY MONSTERS OR EATING SAID MONSTERS, AND PROVIDING A CONVENIENT DOMESTIC SLAVE CAPTURE MARKET FOR THE DARK ELVES.
DELVES DON'T REALLY GIVE A SHIT WHAT THE SLAVES BELIEVE, WHICH IS A PRETTY BIG BLINDSPOT IN A WORLD WHERE BELIEF CAN TANGIBLY AFFECT MATERIAL REALITY.
THREE THINGS LEAD TO MOUNTAIN MEN BECOMING A BIG PROBLEM
1. THE HUMAN SLAVES BEGIN WORSHIPPING KHAINE, ALREADY A PRACTICE AMONG LOWLIFES IN THE OLD WORLD, KHAINE GIVEN EXTRA SIGNIFICANCE AMONG THE SLAVES AS THE GOD OF MURDERING ELVES SPECIFICALLY.
MOUNTAIN MEN HAVE A WELL JUSTIFIED HARD-ON FOR MURDERING ELVES, AND THE CULT OF KHAINE IS THE THIRD BIGGEST RELIGIOUS INSTITUTION THEY HAVE.
ARGUABLY THE ENTIRE MOUNTAIN MAN PROBLEM HAD BEEN DIRECTLY CAUSED BY KHAINE NOT LIKING THAT MALEKITH SITS AROUND WITH A THUMB UP HIS ASS INSTEAD OF CONSTANTLY ATTACKING ULTHUAN.
SO THE BIG SLAVE REVOLT US BOOTSTRAPPED BY KHAINE TO CREATE A REASON WHY DELVES CAN'T BE CONTENT WITH NAGGAROTH AS A PERMANENT HOMELAND.
RIGHT?
2. SLAVES SPREAD WORLD'S BIGGEST COPE -- TALL TALES OF BOB SARDONICUS, AN ESCAPED SLAVE WARLORD WHO COMES OUT OF NOWHERE AND KILLS AND TORTURES ELVES HARDCORE.
"THE BOOT THAT KICKS IN ELVEN THROATS"
AN OBJECT OF MUCH RIDICULE BY ELVES.
MY DAD CAN BEAT UP YOUR DAD, AND JUST WAIT WHEN I TELL ON YOU.
REPORTEDLY HE WOULDN'T EVEN FALL DOWN IF KILLED, HIS DEAD BODY WOULD REMAIN STANDING.
AND IF YOU KILL HIM HE JUST COMES BACK.
THE IDEA PERSISTS AND SPREADS, UNTIL THERE ARE ACTUAL ESCAPED SLAVE WARLORDS ACTUALLY SKINNING RAIDING PARTIES ALIVE. WHO'S THE LEADER? BOB SARDONICUS.
A MAN HAD CALLED HIMSELF BOB SARDONICUS, AND HAVING BEEN HOISTED UP ON A SPEAR THROUGH HIS CHEST AND THROAT, BLEW UP HIMSELF AND HIS WOULD BE KILLER WITH A GRENADE.
ONE OF THE SLAVES OBSERVING THIS CALMLY WALKED UP TO THE SCENE, PICKED UP THE BROKEN SPEARHEAD AND DECLARED HIMSELF BOB SARDONICUS, RETURNED.
IN DUE TIME THIS ENTITY WILL HAVE BECOME A LESSER DEITY, A GOD OF SPITE.
3. THE CONTINUED TORTURE AND BACKBREAKING LABOR OF UNTOLD NUMBERS OF SLAVES OVER UNTOLD GENERATIONS, THE YEARNING FOR DEATH WITH ALL OF ONE'S WILL MULTIPLIED BY A MILLION SOULS, GIVEN A COMMONALITY THROUGH A COMMON UNDERSTANDING,
HAD RESULTED IN A MASSIVE HOLE BUSTED FROM THE MINDS OF MOUNTAIN MEN DIRECTLY INTO THE MAGIC WIND OF DEATH.
THE PARTICIPANTS REFER TO IT AS "THE BIG ONE", "THE GREAT BIG MIGHTY", "A GOD-SHAPED HOLE", OR EVEN JUST "WELL, YOU KNOW"
IT'S ABOUT AS MUCH FAITH AS WOULD HAVE BIRTHED A GOD, DIRECTED ONLY AT REACHING DEATH, WITHOUT A CHARACTER OR THOUGHT OR MIND.
SLAVES OF NAGGAROTH CURRENT OR FORMER, OR DESCENDANTS THEREOF WHO WOULD GAIN AN UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR BELONGING TO THE LEGACY OF THAT COLLECTIVE YEARNING FOR DEATH -- HAVE FREE AND READY ACCESS TO IT.
THIS IS UNLIKE A REGULAR HUMAN WITH A MAGICAL TALENT, WHERE A SMALL WELLSPRING OF POWER BEATS IN A TALENTED INDIVIDUAL.
IT'S RATHER LIKE A BUNCH OF UNTALENTED PEOPLE STANDING ON THE ROCKY SHORE OF A RAGING TORRENT THAT ROARS PAST THEM MERE FEET AWAY.
THEY'RE BY AND LARGE UNTRAINED IN THE LORE OF DEATH, AS MOST SLAVES ARE LOWLIFES AND COMMONERS, WHICH MAKES THE ABILITY TO JUST DIP YOUR HAND INTO THE WIND OF MAGIC DIRECTLY, INSANELY DANGEROUS.
NAGGAROND ARE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, THEIR HUMAN SLAVES ARE AMERICAN WHITES AND ORC SLAVES ARE NIGGERS
REALLY WANT A FACTION REPRESENTING OUR PEOPLE REBELLING AGAINST THE DARK ELVES, SOMEWHERE AROUND APPALACHIA
