Mogdahl The Horrible

Mogdahl was a Kainite Orc Warchief 
of the Severed Head Clan. In 299 AK, 
he began killing off the chiefs of the 
other tribes in the Sawtooth Hills and 
uniting them into a single force.  
By 302 AK, he was making bolder and 
bolder raids into the Dalelands, 
capturing the castle at Garald’s Rock, 
and laying siege to Forksdale the 
following year.  
By 305 AK, Mogdahl controlled all of 
the Dalelands, save Korin, which was 
protected by the Wizard, Mythra. 
Mogdahl was advised by his Warlock-
Shaman Lograh, “the Eye of Kain,” to 
begin searching for the lost Book of 
Baahl in order to swell their forces 
with Baahlspawn and conquer all of 
Formoria. This task he entrusted to 
the Sorceress, Batul Stormbringer.   
Batul and Mogdahl’s lieutenant, Gorog 
the Destroyer, scoured the dalelands 
for the book. Digging huge excavations 
into ancient barrows and crypts in 
search of the book. Gorog was 
defeated and slain at the battle of 
Ardaran in 306, but Batul was able to 
escape. 
Infuriated, Mogdahl gathered all of his 
forces and set out to crush Temple 
Bridge. At the second Battle of Temple 
Bridge in 306 AK, Mogdahl personally 

stormed the gates with his vanguard, 
and there he was finally slain by 
Ja`Keel the Unblooded.  
Upon his death, his forces routed, the 
Baahl Spawn fleeing into the Ardaran 
Hills. Ja Keel, with the Company of the 
Dalelands behind him, rode out to the 
remaining Orcish forces, with the head 
of Mogdahl, and demanded their 
allegiance.
