Targor Bloodsword was the ambitious leader of a goblinoid war band of the Cragmaw tribe.[1]

Description[]

Targor led three other hobgoblins and a pair of wolves in his contingent. He was by far the most powerful of the band, being a very robust one of his kind.[1]

Personality[]

The strong hobgoblin had long wished to overtake King Grol as the leader of the entire Cragmaw tribe. Given the opportunity, Targor was ready to take it.[1]

History[]

In 1491 DR,[note 1] Targor and his contingent set out of Cragmaw Castle. They encountered a hunting party of up to four elves, and were successful in slaying them. The hobgoblins severed the heads of the elves, and shoved them into bags.[1]

Appendix[]

Notes[]

  1. Pages 30‒31 of Lost Mine of Phandelver describe the eruption of Mount Hotenow (1451 DR) as occurring "30 years ago", which would place the adventure in 1481 DR. When the adventure was later remade into Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk, this 30 year time frame was kept (pages 50 & 53). However, pages 103 and 179 of Acquisitions Incorporated, a source published after the former, state that the events described in the adventure happen five years after both Lost Mine of Phandelver and Princes of the Apocalypse. Since the latter is explicitly set in 1491 DR, and considering this answer by Ed Greenwood about dating the adventure, this wiki will use 1491 DR for events related to both versions of the adventure.
