Krah was a gnollish explorer who became the first slaver after leading his pack up the Mother's Sorrow after hearing of Kheterata's weakness during The Onslaught in 1152 BA. His exploits inspired many gnolls to become slavers themselves, enslaving both Sarhaly humans in addition to Bulwari and Kheteratan humans to sell to the rich cities of Bulwar and Kheterata.
Krah has also become a title or profession amongst the gnollish people, and has come to mean "slaver" in their tongue.
Early Life[]
It is said that Krah was part of a pack of gnolls who had bartered and traded with the nearby Kheteratans but were disgraced and forced to give up their possessions and wealth to the matriarch of their greater pack. With this he and his pack went north upon hearing of The Onslaught that weakened the central Kheteratan kingdom, and hoped to find riches in the kingdom's ruins, there they encountered the city of Golkora which was famed for its gold and riches which the desperate gnolls promptly raided, in addition to taking scores of humans hostage to grant them safe passage to the north.
On the next city of Ramiqaar the gnolls raided further settlements until they were routed by the local governor, however, instead of continuing conflict the governor offered to buy Krah's hostages as slaves for an incredible sum of money, in addition to better weapons and armour and offered to guide them to the city of Kheterat, which the governor had despised. With this the gnolls and Krah first learned of the lucrative trade in human chattel, and raided the surrounds of Kheterat (which had by this time fallen to chaos and civil unrest) and sold their human spoils to various landowners up and down the Mother's Sorrow.
By the time Krah's pack had reached the razed city of Koroshesh, it is said that he supplied the local warlord enough slaves to rebuild the city.
