Gashnag
Gashnag the Black Prince is a Strigoi Ghoul King who rules a small kingdom in the Border Princes. [1a][2]
He dwells in a soaring dark tower, hidden entrances to the catacombs below allowing his packs of Crypt Ghouls to enter and leave secretly, acting as both courtiers and spies. Wolf Packs patrol his lands and raid other lands, yet the farmers within the kingdom loose no stock from their flocks. Few who enter - be they merchants or arrogant nobles intent on taking over the small kingdom ever return. Many of the folk of his land regard him as a mysterious and even romantic figure and recently his paid bards have spread the news that the dashing Blak Prince is seeking a bride. [1a]
Appearance
He his always swathed in a thick cloak which hides his malformed features and body. [1a]
History
He has ruled his principality for several centuries, making it one of the longest surviving kingdoms in the Border Princes. [1a][2]
Three nearby kingdoms were destroyed by a Ogre tribe and Gashnag rode out alone to face them, returning the next night to plant a pole in the town square adorned with their heads.[1a] [2]
