Epilogue: the Slaughterer
The fiery warpath of the Iron Dragon saw the Western Provinces revitalized and secured, an eruption of the mutant ratmen clan of the Eshin purged from the Mountains of the Moon, the eastern cities liberated from the grip of The Blessed Dread's slavers, and the Great Bastion reinforced. While ambitious merchants of Grand Cathay were well known to brave the dangerous roads west in large well-armed caravans, I encouraged the Iron Dragon's wish to spread the order and harmony of Cathay across these wastes, where he envisaged a guarded trade route with prosperous cities all along it that connected with the western realms of my birth.
His first challenge would be to subjugate the Ogre Kingdoms in the mountains above Qiang, which would demand tribute or plunder from all passing caravans. The Goldtooth tribe was the dominant power along the Ivory Road and demanded exorbitant tributes for safe passage, and so the Western Provinces met with rival tribes, brokered alliances, and marched to war with them against Greasus Goldtooth and his numerous armies. Greasus was unable to crack the Army of Qiang, and half his realm was lost and his famous Great Hall plundered by the end of the first campaign. A second campaign followed after a brief peace, that saw the Goldtooth tribe entirely supplanted by the Iron Dragon’s allies, the Ogre Kingdom of the Lazarghs.
With the Ivory Road held by a puppet, the caravans of Cathay could reach all the way to the Darklands from Shang-Yang in relative safety for the first time in the memory of the celestial archives, but the Western Provinces would push farther. Before any conquest of the Darklands, the Iron Dragon sent his armies to secure Gnoblar Country, a lawess route through the southern foothills of the Mountains of Mourn where caravans were attacked by undead and demons. The conquest of the pass indeed brought me to face both such horrors, and the Iron Dragon banished the great demon Kul’Gath before my eyes as its horrifying minions threw themselves against the spears of the Western Provinces. However, I would only hear about the further successes and failures of Lord Zhao Ming much later and from a far away, for the foul scent of the demons had not yet even left my nose, when I was taken by what at first seemed like a simple raiding band of Ogres. Though I had hoped to negotiate my release in return for some promised favor from the lord whom I was in service to, I was told that I now had a new master, who had heard I could interpret prophecies and read the strands of fate. And so I was delivered, prodded forward by vicious looking gnoblars, to a massive mutilated ogre, stirring a hot cauldron with a giant cleaver that replaced his right hand. An armored ogre bull by his side, introduced him as Skrag, the Slaughterer, the Ever-Famished, the Gore-Taker, and the Prophet of the Maw.
