Rhesh Turakbar

Rhesh Turakbar is a minotaur warlord of the fortress of Turakbar's Fist in eastern Droaam . [1] [2]

Reputation

He's one of Droaam's most notorious warlords. [3]

Activities

He rules out of the keep called Turakbar's Fist, located on the plains north of Graywall , in the Droaam– Breland borderlands, [1] and claims a number of territories in Droaam. [4] He has welded the small minotaur clans into a cohesive and dangerous force. [2] His presence is tolerated by the Daughters of Sora Kell , though they are not strong allies. [1]

His followers regularly go on raids into western Breland, bringing back plunder, slaves, and blood sacrifices to their dark master. [1] [2] These raids provide the hags of Droaam with useful information concerning Breland's defenses and keep the fear of a full Droaam assault high, which are the main reasons the Daughters have tolerated Rhesh despite his occasional raids into the Droaam interior as well. [1]

Rhesh and his clan venerate the demon lord Baphomet , the Horned King, [1] [4] also known as the Overlord Rak Tulkhesh , called the Horned Prince. [2] They make brutal sacrifices of many of the people they capture in their raids, so that they might satisfy their lord's thirst for blood. Moreover, they paint the outer walls of the fortress with their enemies' blood as a grim warning to all others. In return, their dark master is said to have blessed them with demonic gifts. [1]

His followers include minotaurs of his own clan, gnolls who have abandoned the Znir Pact , and orcs of the Blood Eye tribe, as well as harpies , ogres , and even demons . [1]

Description

A huge minotaur, he has dark fur and countless scars. He files his teeth to jagged points so that he can look more like Baphomet and like the goristros that are the demon lord's favored servants. [1]

Possessions

He wears hide armor and spiked gauntlets, and wields a greathammer. [1]

Tactics

Ferocious in battle, Rhesh would charge in and gore his foes, then sweep through the ranks of those who remain with his hammer and smash with his gauntlets. Being hurt in battle only makes him strike back. When he defeats an enemy, he is invigorated by this shedding of blood for Baphomet. [1]
