The Response

Though the War-Slaves of Ast'arath took the initiative with an early march, the land itself would not sit idle as the despoilers desecrated the forest. One of the Sons of Durthu roused itself in response, ancient boughs creaking ominously. Known by many names over countless decades, Bog Wrath would be what his foes would know him by now.

The land that Bog Wrath moved through was grim, more swamp than forest. He had gladly answered Alarielle's call after the Splintering, joy returning to his heartwood for the first time in memory. The unending warfare and time away from his brethren had taken it's toll though. Bog Wrath still serves the Everqueen with unflinching loyalty, but he prefers to march alongside those of the Dreadwood Wargrove now, assisting Drycha in caring for the Outcasts.

Calling through the worldroots, Bog Wrath could sense various spitelings and some far ranging Kurnoth, but they were distant and near torpor as autumn grew close to winter. They would take time to respond, but so be it, he would take the fight to the despoilers himself. No, he thought, there was one group of spitelings nearby, led by a particularly bloodthirsty shadestalker name Urski. Bog Wrath called to Urski, promising her more interesting prey than the poor huntsman they were disemboweling.

Through the darkness melodies of the spirit-song, Bog Wrath heard Urski's howling, keening reply. They were coming and would arrive in time. Bog Wrath knew the patience of centuries. There would be time to wait and attack once Urski's band arrived.
