[h3]LORE[/h3]
"In the ancient scrolls in the grand royal library of Stormholme the human scribe Adam Sagesong found a chapter telling the legend of the great five beasts and the minions of Zaagul. This legend was from the second age at the center of the troll empire in the swamplands during the magical wars between the wizards of the tower and the soulhunters of the abyss. The troll king desired to claim the old treasure of whitefrost in a temple controlled by the wizards. To execute this task he needed the guild of troll beastmasters to find an open path around the magical shields surrounding the temple. The beastmasters skill in training wild animals was famous in all the lands. Their guild was located at the green gate in a jungle on the border to Kintanu Islands. In this jungle there was five great wild beasts. The mighty Ashfang was the biggest of them all and the leader of the pack. The attempt to tame Ashfang and these great beasts was a struggle that went on for many years. The troll king was furious about the failure to tame these beasts. He ordered his most skilled beastmaster Babuul to tame Ashfang at any cost even by using dark magic that would corrupt his soul for all eternity." Loremasters journal
