Red Flayers

The Red Flayers were a tribe of hobgoblin mercenaries that were recruited as guardians by the Blue dragon Kizilpazar of the Morueme clan in 1026 DR. They originally occupied territory on the High Moor but later built a citadel on Dragondoom in the Nether Mountains, dubbing it Doomspire.

Kizilpazar's sons, unhappy under the rule of their sire, eventually used the Red Flayers in experiments of cross-breeding to create the Blood of Morueme, a small elite army of hobgoblin half-dragons to be used as agents against their father.

In 1371 DR the Red Flayers suffered grievous casualties on an failed assault on an the Lady's Hand, a stronghold of Loviatar's faithful when Nahaunglaroth and Roraurim sought retribution for the death of their exiled mother Idrizraele. It was not long after this defeat that relations between the Red Flayers and their Morueme masters deteriorated with each generation, insubordination that would not have been tolerated by Nahaunglaroth and Roraurim's sire.

When Sammaster unleashed the Rage of Dragons of 1373 DR Nahaunglaroth and Roraurim along with their respective mates Eshaedra and Faenphaele left their lairs and began to slaughter the orcs of the Thousand Fists tribe leaving their wyrmling Arharzel in the hands of the Blood of Morueme. Unfortunately, Arharzel and the Blood of Morueme also succumbed to the rage, and fled their lair descending upon the Red Flayers nearly decimating the tribe. Doomspire fell within a day, but at the cost of Arharzel's life.

The Red Flayers's fate was sealed. Upon their return, the dragons of the Morueme clan avenged their fallen wyrmling, slaughtering all the remaining male hobgoblins, taking any living females to be used as breeding stock for the Blood of Morueme. Now, the only remaining sign of the Red Flayers are their bones, scattered across the slopes of Dragondoom.
