Warherd of the Worldbreaker

Overview
Something is wrong within the Drakenwald forest. The winds of magic stir and the accursed trees shift once again. A warherd is rallying, and the thirsting gods are calling for slaughter. The Beastlord Dramaug Brayfather has erected his herdstone for all the children of Chaos to attend. Planning an assault to bring the constructs of man to a final end.

Yet there is dissent amongst the herd. Dramag's very own Lieutenant seeks to undermine him. The young Wargor Varthrak, known as an upstart whelp by his peers. Believes himself to have been granted a vision by the gods. It is not the Empire that should be their target, not this time. Instead his kin need to seek lands further, the shores of Lustria. He knows not for what reason why, only that he is to bring carnage to those exotic lands.

Ambitious he may be, Varthrak is not stupid. He knows he lacks the strength to openly challenge his Beastlord. Thus in secret he gathers those of his kin who believe him to be chosen by the ruinous powers. In a bloodthirsty surge, they leave the comforts of their forest home and begin their travel to Lustria. Varthrak swears to return soon, to carve out Dramaug’s heart and consume it.

Varthrak Worldbreaker - Beastlord
Having severed himself from the command of the Beastlord Dramaug and proven himself capable of leading his own herd, the Wargor Varthrak has managed to ascend himself to the stature of a Beastlord. Also known as the White Stag. He is a Beastman of rare heraldry and bizarre mutation. Born not with the head of a bull or a goat, he instead walks as a man with the head of a mighty stag, a crown of antlers proudly displayed as a challenge to those who would face him. His fur is a pale white, setting him apart from his braying kin. None know why he is known as Worldbreaker, as Beastmen rarely commit their histories to writing, and any enemies present were reduced to a river of blood.

Varthrak exhibits a cunning wit and sense of strategy not usually seen within the ranks of the savage Beastmen. This does not make him any less fearsome of a combatant however as he takes great joy in fighting strong opponents. He makes a hobby of adorning his antlers with trophies of his kills. Currently he is leaving room for the head of Chaq'ax.

Granorg the Blind - Bray-Shaman
An elderly Bray-Shaman. Weakened by time and long since left blind by its wiles. He was abandoned by his herd and has wandered the land of Lustria for an unknown many years guided only by what he believes is the will of the ruinous powers. He has offered his loyalty to Varthrak as he believes the Stag to be blessed.

Manflayer - Warhound Alpha
Varthrak’s personal warhound. It is said the Beastlord spent many weeks earning the loyalty of this unusually large Chaos Hound. And in doing so also gained the loyalty of the Beast’s pack.

Katarg Gorehorn - Bloodkine
This Minotaur Bloodkine leads the small cohort known as the “Heralds of the Stag.” Unusually calm by Beastman standards, the hulking warrior is only seen to truly go berserk when overcome by the Bloodgreed of battle. It is unknown why Katarg gives such loyalty to the young Beastlord, but the Minotaur seems to become distinctly enraged when the Stag is threatened.

Kessthrisk - Preyton
The screeching Pretyon accompanies the herd not by the will of the Beastlord itself. The monster seems drawn to the anger and hatred that floods the air around the herd’s battles, and enjoys feeding upon the corpses left in the wake. Like all Preyton’s it despises its existence, and thus seems to have no concern for its own safety.

Rivalries
Chaq'ax - Varthrak received a humbling lesson in combat from the experienced Saurus, who left him battered and bloodied after their brief skirmish. Varthrak feeds on this spite and thirst for vengeance, and has sworn to mount the Oldblood's head upon his Antlers.
