There are those who think that one can only serve good, their are those who think one can only serve evil however there are few who think one can serve both.

Karashnak is one of the most anchient Slann alive to this date, however nobody knows exactly when the mighty Slann lord was spawned as his histroy is a mystery to all except the most wise.

Many legends surround the orgins of the mighty Slann mage and most of them are false, but the one wich is most frequently heard is that he was one of those few Slann who was teached anchient secrets of power by one of the old ones himself, the tale goes that he was taught by wise Tzunki and that he could be found near his master almost all the time, learning from his master the art of magic and how to manipulate time and space itself.

However on the day that the polar gates where taken over by chaos, Karashnak was their and witnesst something horrible above comprehention.

Nobody clearly knows what it is that he saw, but whatever it was, it mentally scared him for life and made him the the being wich he is today.

Since then he has helpt the Lizardmen and backstabt them on several accasions, sometimes he helpt the Lizardmen to win battles wich would have bein impossible for others to win, sometimes he attackt several temple cities when they where at their weakest.

An imperial report of the first human sighting of Karashnak

To my lord the Emperor.

My lord, ever since i left our most wonderfull empire i have bein plagued by bad luck and trouble, after our expedition set of to the distant jungles of Lustria it seems that problems have bein following us and taking every oppertunitie to sabotage the expidition.

It was almost just after whe had set sail from the port that whe discoverd that the gunpowder whe had taken with us for our cannons had become moistres and unussable, also my kapitein broke his leg when slipping over the damn stuff.

More of this continued along the way and whe where beginning to think that whe would never reach the steaming jungles of Lustria when the look-out shouted with joy that he could see land, whe soon landed on the shores of Lustria but the bad trip was but an omen of that wich still had to come.

For weeks whe trudged trough the mud until one day whe heard the sounds of battle and went for a look.

Whe saw strange scaled beings led by some sort of enormous toad floating on some sort of platform fight the damned warriors of the dark gods, and as whe watched more and more of the chaos followers advanced to join the battle.

It seemed that the battle was lost but suddenly a toad even bigger then the other one appeared at the flank of the chaos army with several little scaly beings, smaller then the ones fighting, holding some sort of staffs.

The toad released arcs of lightning from his finger tips with wich he blasted entire regiments of both scaly beings and chaos warriors, he conjured pillars of fire wich surrounded entire regiments and burned them alive, at a certain moment the toad seemed to combine his strenght with that of his followers and created a great ball of liquid crystal wich turned every remaining living creature on the battle field in a crystal statue.

After the battle all that was left where the toads and the small scaly beings.

The bigger toad dissappeard back into the jungle with his 'bodyguard' and before my very eyes the remaining toad did some strange incantation with his hands and then dissappeard like a breez of wind.

After this I decided that i had seen enough of Lustria and quickly set sail back to our beloved empire, strangely whe didn't experience any bad luck along the way....

Yours sincerely, Bonafatius Licanto


This report was found somewhere on the shores of the empire after news reached the Emperor that a sudden lightning storm had destroyed the ship Liberty.

Despite that many reports have bein writen about karashank, there are precious few wich are actually reliable as Karashnak is a master of manipulation and is able to change the report in the writers mind before he can write it down, sometimes he even allowed the writer to escape and get near his goal of delivering the report to then destroy him utterly.

The reasons of Karashank are his own and none can hope to understand the Anchient Mage priest, not even his closests Lieutenants know exactly where they are going or what their mission is, they only know that they shall be victorious when the time for battle comes.

The crown wich rests far into the north has know drawn Karashanks attention and as we speak he is advancing nearly side by side with his fellow Slann, however a good distance is allways kept between them as the Lizardmen have yet to find out if he is an allie, or a foe.

I'm planning on following the god wich gives me the best benefits at that moment in the campaign, that's what i like about my character, he's a powerfull allie as long as he's on your side, but jsut when you begin to trust him he backstabs you and steals your most sacred relics for example :)

I'm still working on the fluff tough, but the problem is that theirs a 500 word limit and i'm too lazy to count how many words i typed :P
