Doomcrown, previously known as Azrokkog, was a hobgoblin warlord in Arcturiadoom in Undermountain in the early 1490s DR.[1]
History[]
Sometime before the Year of Three Ships Sailing, 1492 DR, Azrokkog abandoned his parents after accusing Azrok of becoming sedentary and went out into larger Faerûn to make his own way. After many years, he came back with a new name and a new purpose.[2] He formed the Death's Head Phalanx and had aligned himself with the fire giant Emberosa and her kin in their plot to conquer Waterdeep and the the North and bring about the rise of the fire giants within the ordning of giant kind.[3] Doomcrown believed fire giants could sweep over and conquer the surface realms of Faerûn. They set their eventual sights on the High Forest. The Death's Head warlord believed the fire giants could purge the forest and the Phalanx could seize it as their own domain.[3]
To this end, the Death's Head Phalanx protected Emberosa and the giants as they worked on creating an enormous mechanical construct known as Mecha-Halaster. This 100-foot-tall (30.5 meters) metal likeness of Halaster Blackcloak was to be used when Emberosa and the "Mad Mage" himself left Undermountain to assail the city of Waterdeep and defeat its colossal protectors.[4]
Meanwhile, Doomcrown sent Yargoth the Breaker to lead an excursion upward into Trobriand's Graveyard in an effort to steal scrap metal from the domain's scaladar.[5]
Just after settling into their new barracks, Doomcrown met a flumph that became his favorite pet but it's influence caused the warlord to developed strange behavior.[1]
Activities[]
Doomcrown's band of hobgoblins established a barracks and base camp within the south-eastern halls of Arcturiadoom.[6] Doomcrown kept his personal quarters in a nearby chamber. The clan also maintained several guard posts throughout the level, along with a training room and a large rallying area, used for mustering their ranks.[1] Out of boredom, Doomcrown asked his subjects to collect a set of mason's tools and started to carve blocks of stone into odd, tower-like structures resembling stalagmites.[1]
Personality[]
Doomcrown was a devout worshiper of Maglubiyet and completely dedicated to the collective goal shared by his war band, their fire giant allies, and the "Mad Mage" Halaster.[3] However he developed a strange behavior after being near the flumph.[1]
