Kra-Hnur

Home to an aggressive tribe of half-giant raiders, the hold of Kra-Hnur lies in a hanging valley about halfway between Tyr and Walis. Crude stone fortifications barricade the path leading up from the valley to the stronghold. The half-giants keep large flocks of goats and erdlus in the high pastures behind their walls, along with several hundred thralls of other races – captives taken in raids on the lowlands. The leader of the tribe, a huge, one-eyed half giant war chief known as the Great Kra, is far more clever than his brutish appearance would suggest. The Great Kra spent his youth serving in the royal guard of King Kalak of Tyr, and when he returned home, he seized control of his tribe. He despises humans, elves, and other “weaklings,” and he personally leads his warriors on raids. The Kra-Hnurdha tribe primarily strikes at caravans on the Trade Road and isolated villages and outposts in the Tablelands. However, with the recent chaos in Tyr, the Great Kra has turned his eye on the client villages clustering within the city's verdant belt.
