"I am the defense of my people. I am the wall in which our enemies will fall upon. I am the mountain that withstands the constant crashing of the waves. None shall pass- Direwind, human, anyone." -Scralg, standing defiantly outside the lair's entrance.

The Blackburrow clan has lost a vast amount of territory in the wake of the human invasion and unprovoked war so many decades upon decades ago. Now driven to a ferocious, if not feral desire to cling onto what little land they have, many individuals turn to the strongest of gnolls in the clan for inspiration and aid. Scralg Irongaze is often called 'The Warden of Blackburrow'. So unflinching is his dedication to his people that he will never budge, flinch, or step aside for anyone. When Scralg took up mantle as a fierce and stout, iron-willed defender of his clan, no outsider has ever seen or been inside the Blackburrow lair. No outside filth will sully the lair on Scralg's watch, as is his oath and duty as a warden of the clan. Many human and Direwind onslaughts alike have tried to budge Scralg, but when the dust settles and the final blow is struck in the wake of the rising sun, Scralg always remains standing. Like a mountain he is unmoving to the challenges of time, his shield a wall to cover and guard the weak and helpless of his clan. Sooner would he rather slit his own throat than to allow a single invader through the lair's entrance. He is the immovable iron wall. The unflinching mountain. The shield of his people.

Not much to say, other than that this was a brief idea that buzzed and floated around in my mind a little. Ever the opportunist I seized the idea of this OC before I forgot about it, so here he is :) Leave a fav and a watch if you liked, and stay tuned!
