HOARLUK DOOMSHAPER, RAGE OF DHUNIA

ウォーマシンMK3
トロルブラッド
ウォーロック

Hoarluk Doomshaper spent a century gathering strength and delving into the deepest mysteries of the trollbloods’ essence. His great power has shaken the communities of the Gnarls and Thornwood to their roots and earned the fear and reluctant respect of countless elders. Trollkin in many circles talk about Hoarluk as a force of nature: implacable, incomprehensible, and impossible to ignore. He is a creature to be appeased and placated rather than persuaded. Those who fear him believe he has reached the peak of his power—that a shaman of his age can learn no more. They will soon discover the scope of their error.
Even as many hot-blooded trollkin continue to flock to Doomshaper to hear his violent rhetoric and fight at his side, he remains focused on a more profound goal. It has never been enough for him to be a simple war shaman. He seeks to plumb the fundamental connection between all trollkind—the power invested by Dhunia in their blood. After learning all he could from scrolls taken from ancient krielstones and venturing into every significant Molgur ruin, Hoarluk decided to take a more direct approach. He would plunge into the very depths of dire troll consciousness.
Unshackling his mind and freeing himself of all restraint, Doomshaper merged with the most violent and powerful of these creatures, running with them, living as one of them, and rising to near-godlike status among them. He has tapped into reserves no shaman has ever known, his escalating power proved in a ritual witnessed by the most ancient of dire trolls. At the height of the ceremony Hoarluk cut off his own hand and then regenerated it—accomplishing in seconds what would have taken months for another trollkin.

Doomshaper has not only unlocked unprecedented regenerative powers but has also gained insight into the primal nature that binds warbeast to warlock. This knowledge has given him unprecedented influence over his enemies, as he can now go beyond the blood of trolls to steal the essence of other beasts and use their powers for his own purposes. His newfound mastery of natural lore rivals that of even the druids of the Circle Orboros.

So focused was Hoarluk on attaining these powers that he did not anticipate the treachery that nearly unraveled his efforts. Several years ago a conspiracy of Gnarls and Thornwood elders betrayed him to Cygnaran authorities. Doomshaper’s subsequent capture and imprisonment confirmed in his mind the need to retaliate with unmitigated fury and violence against those who would oppress the kriels, and also led to reprisals against those elders who betrayed him. The powerful shaman’s influence over the warlike bands of the Gnarls was only reinforced, and those who feared him before soon realized they had not yet seen the terror of his full wrath invoked.
