The Dread Host is the fearsome and relentless army commanded by the evil sorcerer Zargon. This formidable force is composed of a variety of malevolent beings, including orcs, goblins, abominations, and Dread warriors, all united under the Black Banner of Zargon. Their presence strikes terror into the hearts of even the bravest warriors, causing widespread despair and devastation wherever they march.
Historically, the Dread Host has been a scourge upon the Realm, its dark legions sweeping through lands and leaving desolation in their wake. During the First War, the Dread Host was a nearly unstoppable force, forcing even the mightiest heroes into hiding. It was only through the courageous efforts of Rogar the Barbarian and his band of heroes that the Dread Host was temporarily driven back. Yet, despite their initial defeat, the forces of Zargon were never fully vanquished and have since been gathering strength for a new assault on the Realm.
The Dread Host is not only a military force but also a manifestation of the dark magic that Zargon wields. Zargon’s elite force, the Doomguard, exemplifies the pinnacle of this dark power. These knights are more than mere soldiers; they are infused with dread magic, making them extraordinarily difficult to defeat. The Doomguard’s presence on the battlefield is often a turning point in favor of Zargon’s forces, capable of breaking through the stoutest of defenses.
As the darkness once again threatens the Realm, the Dread Host stands poised to unleash its fury. The Realm’s need for new heroes to rise and combat this ancient evil has never been more urgent. The legacy of Rogar and his companions serves as a beacon of hope, inspiring the next generation to take up arms against the encroaching shadow and ensure that the Dread Host is ultimately defeated.
