The Kingdom of Hill Gnolls was a longstanding kingdom of Hillthrone gnolls centered in Businor, and later more specifically the Khenak Mountains. These gnolls once held nearly the entirety of Businor.
History[]
Once holding nearly the entirety of Businor, the hill gnolls would be pushed into the mountains first by the Sorcerer-King Nichmer and later by Jaher and his elven legions. They would be forced to live upon the highest peaks of the Khenak, their kingdom more or less shattered into innumerable petty packs. It wouldn't be until the Lilac Wars, keeping Verne and Busilar busy in their own conflicts, along with the rise of the leader Xanzerbexis that the kingdom would begin to rise again. The matriarch of a minor pack, Xanzerbexis began a brutal campaign of conquest across the Khenak, by 1441 all 86 packs of Hillthrone gnolls had been united under her leadership through war, diplomacy, and marriage[1]. As such, she became the first undisputed Queen-of-the-Hill in recent history at the time. Some did claim she sold her firstborn to demons such as the Xhaz in exchange for power, though this was never confirmed.
