![[GorzakRedmawPathfinder-v2.webp]] # Gorzak Redmaw _Hobgoblin Warlord | [[Zaltimar]]'s Army | Deceased_ ## Summary Fanatical hobgoblin warlord who commanded the Iron Fang Legion as part of [[Zaltimar]]'s combined forces marching on [[Yartar]]. He wielded [[Redfang]], sister sword to the [[Bloodsword]], and viewed [[Reese]] as an apostate who had received [[Maglubiyet]]'s blessing and rejected it. He confronted [[Reese]] in dreams at [[Maglubiyet]]'s eternal battlefield [[Clangor]], vowing to tear his soul from his flesh. A [[Soulmonger]] transformed by the [[Sewn Sisters]], he was killed by a single arrow from [[Petra]] at the [[Crimson Siege]]. %% ## Now _Deceased — killed by [[Petra]] at the [[Crimson Siege]]._ ## Connections **[[Reese]]** — marked him as an apostate; refused his challenge to single combat. **[[Petra]]** — killed him with a single arrow; his souls surged into her. **[[Zaltimar]]** — served in his army. **[[Gumdrop]]** — claimed his blade [[Redfang]] after his death. ## Background **The apostate's judge:** [[Redfang]] could sense those touched by [[Maglubiyet]]'s power, and he judged [[Reese]] worthy of divine punishment for rejecting the god's blessing. **A soul-death:** [[Petra]] felt countless souls screaming from within him when he arrived at the [[Crimson Siege]]. [[Reese]] refused his challenge to single combat, staying tactical on the walls, and [[Petra]] killed him with one arrow. His death erupted not in blood but souls — hundreds of screaming spirits surged into her, revealing that [[Soulmonger]]s form a vast necrotic network. She collapsed and lost her voice, requiring [[Garaele]]'s Divine Intervention to restore it. **Redfang's fate:** [[Gumdrop]] claimed the cursed blade, which later transformed into [[Shinyfang]], a radiant blade of hope, when she rejected [[Maglubiyet]] and declared herself [[Tymora]]'s Chosen. %%
