Batul Stormbringer

Batul Stormbringer was a leading 
figure among the Seven Tribes. Born 
to a human female slave of a Kainite 
war chief, her mother struggled with 
the labor of birth for 3 days before 
Batul was finally cut from her belly by 
the midwife, killing the mother. It is 
said that when Batul took her first 
breath and cried, thunder and 
lightning came from the sky. Thus, her 
father named her “Stormbringer.”  
 
Batul’s upbringing was severely brutal. 
Subjected to abuse by everyone 
around her. At the age of seven years, 
she was given to the care of an old 
orcish witch doctor. She was to be 
trained in the arts of witchcraft, but 
after only two years there, she 
murdered the old witch doctor. This 
act “blooded” her, and she was made 
the new witch doctor of her tribe. At 
some point, she found the shard of 
Tordenvaer. She affixed this to a staff, 
and it allowed her to call in 
thunderstorms. This ability added 
further to her reputation.  
 
In around 304 AK, she was tasked by 
Mogdahl’s Kainite Warlock Lograh 
with finding the Book of Baahl. Batul 

began hunting all throughout the 
Dalelands for the book. This, in fact, 
turned out to be the primary impetus 
for the Orcish invasion and occupation 
of the Dalelands - a three-year reign of 
terror that decimated the region.  
 
Batul’s purpose was discovered by 
Tyrius de Ardaran and his party, on 
the assignment of the Council of 
Korin, led by the great Wizard, 
Mythra. It was a race against time to 
find the book. Eventually, it was 
discovered that the Dragon, Quomrim, 
was in possession of it. However, the 
book was never found after the Battle 
of the Hilltop in 307 AK, and Batul 
Stormbringer disappeared. It is 
thought by many that she may have 
absconded with the book during the 
chaos of the battle.
