Gimble Folkor

Gimble Folkor is one of the rare 
Gnomes who sought to see the 
outside world. As a young gnome, he 
found it difficult to work the 
illusionary magic that was so 
commonly practiced among his 
people. Fearing he would never be 
able to do so, he spent hours alone in 
the woods, praying to the woodland 
spirits to bless him with magic.  
It was finally a woodland fey spirit 
named Iye that found Gimble and 
helped him to find his magical talent. 
Iye, a guardian spirit of owls, became 
Gimble’s guiding light. And so when 
Iye whispered to him to follow the 
Gnomish delegation to Korin for the 
Council of the Korin, he went.  
He was among the volunteers to join 
the Company of the Dalelands, and he 
accompanied and fought alongside 
the others to free the region. But Iye 
had another purpose. Which was to 
free the Wild Elf Arathorn from the 
spell of Quomrim the Greenwyrm.  

With Iye’s guidance, he was able to 
help guide the Company to find 
Quomrim and his lair. This led to the 
Battle of the Hilltop and finally to 
Arathorn. Gimble was able to fulfill his 
promise to Iye and free Arathorn of 
his madness and reunite him with his 
people.  
Gimble stayed for a time with the 
friends he made, but eventually he 
began to miss his homeland and his 
people. He finally returned to Sven 
Tobrach to be among his people again 
in the year 308 AK.   
JA`KEEL THE UNBLOODED 
Ja`Keel, from a young age, felt apart 
from his people. As a pup, he was 
brutally bullied by the other children 
in his tribe as he seemed to lack any 
desire to join them in tormenting the 
weaker orclings. Rather, his instinct 
was to defend and protect them, as he 
naturally felt there was more honor in 
protecting the weak than in bullying 
them.  
As a young warrior, he was made to 
prove himself to Gorog in a test of 
Orcish adulthood known as "the 
blooding." He was ordered to brutally 
execute a human female and her 
child. It was known that the more 
brutal and gruesome the execution, 
the more clout he would gain with 
Gorog. Yet Ja`Keel could not do it. He 
saw no honor in slaying the pitiful 
woman and her babe. His refusal 
greatly angered Gorog, who in turn 
slew the woman and child in front of 
Ja`Keel. From that time, the others in 
his cohort began to mockingly call him 
"the Unblooded." One of the lesser 
orcs even dared to call him a coward, 
but the ferocity with which Ja'Keel 
relieved that one of his head soon 
dispelled any notion of mere 
cowardice. Still, Ja`Keel increasingly 
felt unease and anger toward his 
superiors and fellow tribesmen alike.  
 
He came to see the actions of his 
people as unworthy of the honorable 
way of the Kainite Warrior that he had 
learned from his father before he 
died. Fighting the enemies of Kain 
with all necessary brutality, yes! But 
wantonly murdering the weak and 
helpless? Where is the honor in that? 
Most of all, Ja'Keel grew to hate the 
brutish Gorog, whom he saw as the 
epitome of all that is foul and 
dishonorable. Not even a true Kainite, 

but an Ogrillon half-breed whose 
Baahlspawn heritage made him little 
more than a beast in Ja'Keel's eyes.  
When Tyrius de Ardaran and his party 
attacked the Hilltop Fort at Ardaran, 
Ja`Keel made his move and helped the 
attackers slay Gorog. He was taken 
prisoner by them and sent to Temple 
Bridge to be executed along with the 
other Orcish prisoners. But he was 
spared by Tyrius, on the condition that 
he help to defeat the Orcish warlord 
Mogdahl the Horrible and his 
Sorceress, Batul Stormbringer.  
This he did during the second battle of 
Temple Bridge, slaying Mogdahl in 
single combat; he then took his place 
as chieftain of the Seven Tribes and 
ordered the Tribes back into the hills. 
At first, the Orcs opposed his 
rulership. Ja’Keel then demanded they 
either obey or challenge him for 
leadership. The Orcs obeyed and 
returned to their former lands.  
Ja`Keel stayed true to his word for 
many years, until by 311 AK there 
ceased to be word from him. The Orcs 
are now raiding again, and Ja`Keel’s 
whereabouts are unknown.
