Ren’Kyreth Tribe
The Origins
You’ve heard the tall tales of Damun, Hammerhand Slaughtergutt, and Valkyr Soulrend. But there is another ancient troll whose legendary deeds rival the aforementioned, but her purpose was not to be known, to be adored. It was to purify. Ren’skall The Eternal believed creation cannot just spawn from nothingness, that the aether was once part of The Void itself, just reshaped, changed, and evolved. She believed that the world itself was just one large shard of The Void, and such that every soul that resides in this universe is simply a void shard waiting to be purified and returned to The Void.
Ren’skall carried no weapons, nor armor or shield. Yet she could walk through a battlefield unscathed. Taking lives of her opponents and purifying their souls, without ever wielding her own sword.
She made many enemies of all kinds. Other trolls, other monsters and even griks wanted her dead. So they began to band together, fighting her on the field 2 against one, and then 5 against one, then a hundred. It took 1000 fighters to subdue Ren’skall. The trolls who took part in that battle spanned all races, and so the Ice Trolls took her heart, and buried it in the depths of their frozen caverns. The Mountain Trolls took her head and hung it at the highest peak, as a warning to not follow in her footsteps. The Forest Trolls took her legs, and they sprouted into giant trees, to undo some of the damage she had caused. The Hat Trolls took her arms, the females took the right and the males took the left, so that her hands may never cause harm to another again. Finally, The Void Trolls took her legacy, and made sure in the future that none would know the name Ren’skall The Eternal.
Membership Requirements You must enter fights completely unarmed and kill 5 people with their own weapon. These purified souls must be recorded in some way. Whether it’s scratched tallies on a piece of leather or a full written record of the kills.
The Toll of Purification
Purifying these souls takes a feat of great strength and willpower. Eventually the toll of this process will start to show. Many followers of the Ren’Kyreth Tribe mark down every soul they purify by marking a tally somewhere on their garb. These signify to other trolls a sign of great strength, but those with more tallies are often less than sane.
Who are the Devo’kyr?
The members of the Ren’kyreth Tribe act as heralds of Ren’skalls return. Oftentimes they are considered heretics, traitors, and villains. This great opposition creates obstacles in our quest to bring about her resurrection. Those who believe their strength to be worthy of this quest may declare themselves a Devo’kyr Acolyte, and may attempt a set of challenges to liberate the different pieces of Ren’skall. A series of 5 challenges, one for each piece that has been guarded through the ages. Upon completion of all 5 trials, the acolytes are granted the title of Devo’kyr.
