[[Khan-Gurtan]] is a name whispered with fear across the skies of [[Atmos]], his existence still shrouded in rumor but impossible to ignore. It is said that a powerful Half-Orc warlord has emerged, uniting the shattered remnants of orcish clans and monstrous factions that were long driven into [[The Fall Land]]'s after [[The World Subjugation War]]. This new leader, [[Khan-Gurtan]], is rumored to have ambitions to lead his growing army of embittered monsters to vengeance, with the goal of watching the privileged nations above them burn and crumble to the same depths they were once forced into. The last time the monsters rose, they nearly claimed [[Atmos' Heart]], and their assault on the skies brought the world to the brink of collapse. The skies used to be filled with significantly more islands and land, all of which have now fallen into [[The Abyss]]. That cataclysmic war led to the creation of several defensive treaties between the fair-races and the ruthless militarization their forces, led by the [[King of Stoneheart]]. Yet, [[Khan-Gurtan]]’s potential is feared to exceed even the horrors of the past. Some say he possesses a brutal cunning, a strategic mind far beyond that of the typical warlord, making him an even greater threat than the hordes of old. Though there have been no official sightings, his rise is whispered of in every political court and back alley. Each day another frontier settlement within the [[The Fall Land]] is laid to ruin with no survivors. Rumors circle throughout [[The Fall Land]]'s inhabitants that monstrous legions are responsible. If these rumors are true, the world above faces an unprecedented challenge, as [[Khan-Gurtan]] seeks not just conquest but annihilation. His power and influence are growing, and though some dismiss the tales as mere fearmongering, the civilized nations know too well that ignoring the monstrous threat can be a fatal mistake.
