A signifigant non-player race also inhabits the island. Properly known as Gargun, these small but dangerous humanoids are also called orcs, goblins or foulspawn. They are divided into many sub-species, usually divided by size and color: Small or Streaked Orcs, Common or Brown Orcs, Great or Black Orcs, White Orcs, and Red Orcs.
Gargun came to Hârn within recorded history, imported or created by the insane mage Lothrim to man the army of his empire over six hundred years ago. After the fall of Lothrim the gargun quickly spread to cover most of the island.
Gargun can be found in many areas across Hârn, but tend to reside in or near mountainous areas. While these areas are often located a considerable distance from human habitation, more than a few Gargun lair lie within areas also inhabited by humans. As one would expect, meetings between Gargun and other races are rarely peaceful. As the Khuzdul hate Gargun, the Gargun also hate Khuzdul and will not hesitate to attack any Khuzdul stumbled upon.
Gargun have also been known to prey upon those who travel the roads alone, especially when the traveler is upon a road near a Gargun lair. Travel with others, lest one desires to become Gargun fodder...
