A long and distant time ago, a gnome prospector discovered a strange natural phenomena in a mountainous region, that would become known as Blood Red Falls. Over time the Prospector’s clan began exploring the underground river that created the falls. While exploring these nooks and crannies along the river. they found not only rich veins of iron ore, but other minerals of wealth as well. For decades, the clans gained wealth and notoriety, while the less fortunate grew ever restless. Eventually, those in power grew paranoid of those below their station, hiring a powerful wizard to create a keep which would proved itself notorious and impenetrable as time wore on.
In recent times, the clans have closed the mines due to a lack of demand for ore. The closing of the mine had reached the ears of the dreaded Spriggan Chief, who for years has terrorized the countryside by raiding and slaughtering villages.
The vile warlord has taken over the keep, enslaved the village of Blood Red Falls and nearby settlements, forcing the inhabitants into slavery, and also put a strangling hold on all rivers traffic by enforcing punitive taxes on anyone wanting to pass by.
Due to these action, All the inhabitants opposed to the brutal leader have banded together to offer a large reward for the capture of Bloodaxe, dead or alive.
