After the Second War, the Dragonmaw Clan is not the same threat they were when they had dragons, but they’re still fierce opponents. The Dragonmaws are now led by Chieftain Nek’rosh, son of Nekros Skullcrusher, who was one of the top liutenants of the Dragonmaws years ago. Nekros used powerful magic to tame the Red Dragons, but when that magic failed him, Nekros was killed by the dragons and his son has vowed revenge against the dragons who slew his father. The dragons were not very happy with their old masters, and fiercely hunted the Dragonmaws. What few remained fled from Grim Batol and into the Mountains east of Whelgar’s Excavation. Now they’ve gained strength, and have an encampment northeast of Menethil. Nek’rosh has built catapults and aims to lay siege to Menethil. And with the fighting in Dun Algaz, they would be effectively blocked from reinforcements.
