Hold of Stonefist

The hill giant Stonefist founded his chiefdom in approximately 803 TA. Cast out by his own people for banditry and lying, a small number of warriors and their families followed him as leader. For several years he hung around the fringes of his homeland, raiding and stealing form everyone without prejudice. These minor successes attracted a growing following of fellow outcasts, bandits, criminals and like unsavory types. Yet with this strange mixture of fighters, he mounted a highly successful raid into Dourmoor and recruited more followers. Riding unmolested through the lands of his former people, but not caring to test their fighting ability, Stonefist established a fortified settlement as permanent camp. As Stonefist's infamy spread, malcontents from many nations have come to his standard.
