Army Briefing: The Bloo Moonz Tribe

The

Bloo Moonz

Tribe

By Chief Scrivener Hannan

The Grey Mountains, 2522 I.C.

North of Khazid Grimaz, the Grey Mountains are riddled with goblin tribes. In the high forests near the Empire, forest goblin tribes howl from hidden hovels deep within the wood. Night goblins from beneath the foothills venture forth to terrorize man, elf and dwarf in equal fashion. All of this was bad, before the coming of the black orcs.

Recently, a group of orcs from the badlands have made a base camp in the mountains to the north of the Khazid, near the border with Athel Loren. An old dwarf keep has been claimed by the orcs, and they have started to amass a larger tribe by assimilating smaller greenskin clans they have encountered and subsequently conquered. It is swiftly becoming a real threat, as the orcs are joined by the eager and ever more numerous goblin tribes from the surrounding lands.

Any travel in the area is highly dangerous at this point in time. Goblins and worse crawl thick in the forests and high mountains, having found a great many ancient dwarf tunnels and towers. Encounters occur with great frequency, and even travel to the Empire has been made so hazardous that it’s almost not in the Guilder’s interests to invest in ventures with the dwarfs…almost.

The Bloo Moonz Tribe

A great many Night Goblin tribes have been obedient and willing to help the black orcs, but the new Bloo Moon banner flies not just above these creatures. Trolls from beneath the mountains, orcs from the lowlands and spider riders from the forests all bow to the new Bloo Moon chieftain, Grand Warboss Nurdsnik of the Black Mountain.

Nurdsnik has many ‘Bad Bosses’ to carry out his plans, and each of these powerful black orcs has a mean streak a mile long and a cunning plan to make sure he gets to be mean. From several outposts they maintain their crude empire, making war on dwarfs, men and elves near the Grey Mountains.

Bloo Moonz Territory

The Bloo Moonz hold sway over the northern end of the Grey Mountains, in an area that encompasses outposts near Nuln, Khazid Grimaz, the borders of Athel Loren and even Parravon in Bretonnia. This is the most massive and dangerous greenskin horde to collect in this area for some time, and everyone must take heed.

Near Nuln, Forest Goblins bearing the Bloo Moonz icon have attacked river and road caravans, demolishing everything and looting the rest. The Empire has sent state troops to the outlying villages to try and fend off the greenskin raiders, but is generally unresponsive to these punitive attacks.

In the Grey Mountains, near Khazid Grimaz, the Bloo Moonz and the Grey Dwarfs have been fighting for some time already. Night Goblins and Trolls from beneath the Khazid have taken outlying towers and strongholds once claimed by dwarfs in the ancient age.

As for the Wood Elves, they have not attacked the orcs yet, as the Bloo Moons stay away from the haunted forest of Athel Loren as much as their non-superstitious black orc masters will let them. That will most likely soon change, as the Orcs grow more numerous and overcome their trepidations.

In Bretonnia, orc migrations have stepped up as mobs of orc boyz march toward the Black Mountain to Warboss Nurdsnik. Many have heard of Nurdsnik’s flying beast, and the Bretonnians have felt the attacks of the larger orcs under the Bad Bosses for quite some time.

Travelers seeking to brave these dangers for whatever reason should take heed of these warnings. It is very dangerous in this area, and open and proper war is brewing. It is tough to say how many greenskins have flocked to the banner of Nurdsnik so far, but the Bloo Moonz army may test the might of dwarfs, elves and men in the near future.
