Ga'zsacz (Gah-Zzz-Ack)

Ga'zsacz, known by many epithets and nicknames such as "The Destroyer", "The Unifier" "The Great", "The Ruminator", and "The Liberator", was a legendary Orc warrior, revolutionary, general, and later possible Exarch of Gruumush. Born a simple farm-hand on a recently unified Island of Kquimlar in the late 4th Age, Ga'zsacz became disillusioned with the inequality and unfairness in the society he lived in, and resolved to tear it all down so that something better could be created. Teaching himself how to use any weapon, as well as learning how to harness his considerable charisma and unexpected magical prowess, Ga'zsacz marshalled the marginalized common folk of Kquimlar into a grand revolutionary army in PP 1303 that swept across the Island, capturing swathes of territory in the East as a place for all to live free from oppression. Ga'zsacz' power was so great that it is frequently said that he personally started the "Secession Fever" of the 5th Age himself.   Ga'zsacz disappeared and was presumed dead in PP 1322 after assaulting the City of Chathair na Corel (now called Dinas Undod) singlehandedly. His trusted Orcish generals, later known as the "Stratocrats", organised Ga'zsacz' captured territory into the "Holy Ga'zsacz Empire" and decreed it an exclusively Orcish state, with all other species being cast out. As of CR 10059, this empire has collapsed and it's inhabitants are now forced to roam the Island of Kquimlar with no-where to call home or carve out areas of land for themselves.   There are two theories as to what happened to Ga'zsacz after he attacked the stronghold. The first is that he tragically died due to not being as powerful as he was in his younger years- Ga'zsacz had been commanding his armies for 19 gruelling years at this point. The second, however, suggests an alternate view. In this theory, Ga'zsacz was saved right before death by Gruumush, the head god of the Orcish Pantheon, being transported magically to his home realm, Nishrek. There, Ga'zsacz was commended as the truest mortal orc ever known, and became an Exarch of Gruumush, accompaning the wayward creator of all Orcs on his journeys around the Universe.
