Cain, the Blood King
Blood King Cain
Cain and his rebels have grown from pests to an infection. One I fear could grow most deadly. Perhaps the time to fight is over and now comes the time to cut off the effected limb.- Mordenkainen, diary entry during the Orc rebellion
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Most of Cains origins remain shrouded in myth and legend. As perhaps the most successful rebel to ever face off against Mordenkainen and the Eight it is no mystery as to why this might be. Most accounts report that Cain was born and raised in the shadowfell. It is believed that his family was either the slaves or servants to one of the many dukes or lords of darkness that live their. It is factual that Cain first stepped into the Material Plane as a part of a trading run. When the Orc rebellion begun Cain joined their cause and was immediately vaulted into a leadership position. His familiarness with the many monsters and otherwise unaccepted races, his scheming and manipulative nature from his time in the shadowfell, and his incredible natural charm and powerful personality made him the clear favorite to lead. He lead the rebellion in a series of closely won battles against the eight, antagonizing them at every turn. When Mordenkainen offered them safety in exchange for them leaving to live in the unexplored realms of Havemere Cain quickly agreed. He lead them to form the land of Duron, and has ruled to this day.
Morality & Philosophy
Cain is well known for allowing his subjects total freedom inside certain guidelines. While theft or murder might be illegal it is totally within the law to maim or kill an individual in retribution for a crime they have commited at you.
