Koshtask clan

The Koshtask clan is a group of orcs and other wastefolk who declined to join the Many Hosts of Igrathad. They live in the Iothia Moorlands in Xhorhas.

Society

The Koshtask worship Gruumsh, and typically use violence over diplomacy, although on rare occasions they have allied with others against larger threats. On occasion they have partnered with the Dolorav tribe to fight off Kryn Dynasty attempts to convert them to worship of the Luxon. As of early 836 PD, they were led by an orc named Arakki and ruled at least until 855 PD.

After Leylas Kryn rescued her partner, Quana, from the Abyss, recovering a Luxon beacon in the process, she started a new campaign to extend the Luxon's reach across Xhorhas, gaining more consecuted souls for her religion. Part of the campaign brought the Kryn forces to the Koshtask settlement, invited by Arakki himself, with whom they met. He briefly expressed how pleased Gruumsh would be if he slayed the Bright Queen, but when she referenced how the Luxon had reached out to him, the orc asked for the Ruiner's forgiveness before accepting the dark elves' religion. After that, Arakki organized a celebration for the Bright Queen, during which she received news about the birth of the Bright Child, and, tortured by Lolth's influence, she decided to continue her holy quest instead of returning home.
