Back to The Siege of Arkleaf

Higgerath

The Higgerath were a legendary army assembled under the War Banner of Gr'z'tok specifically for the Siege of Arkleaf. The word Higgerath has come to not only signify the army itself, but in a larger context the domain and rule of Gr'z'tok, who used the Siege of Arkleaf as a stage to solidify his rule as the Greatest and Highest of all Chieftains of the Highland Plains.

The greatest and most high of Warchieftains of War Men were summoned by Gr'z'tok for this battle of Great Epicness. Prominent members of the Higgerath include:
