The Black Fire Pass is the only route over the Black Mountains, and for years the mountains and the pass were, by and large, impassible due to the presence of a large orc settlement. This dirty and squalid township consisted of several dozen wooden shacks, a large but unstable saloon and hundreds of mean, greedy lowdown orcs.
The town was run by Harboth, aided and abetted by his insane right hand man, Yaskin Forit. Harboth and his mates spent most of their time in the saloon, sheltering from the almost non-stop rain which is an everyday phenomenon along the slopes of the Black Mountains. They would take tunrs manning the toll gates and torturing travellers. Ocassionally there would be a fight as some indignant Halfling or Dwarf tried to defend himself - but not often.
The Black Mountain Boys don't go in much for fine clothing or fancy gear. They have quite an extensive collection of armour and weapons looted from travellers, including sturdy bows as well as iron hooked cleavers called Dwarf Ticklers, an invention of Harboths of which he is justly proud. Yaskin Forit carries an especially large, double handed version of this weapon
Battlecry : Harboths favorite expression is 'Pulp the Stunties'.
Deeds : When the local Dwarf leader offered a bounty to adventurers bold enough to try to destroy the Orc settlement, Harboth responded by meeting and subsequently eating each adventurer stupid enough to try it. Yaskin Forit made a necklace of the ears of these unfotunate characters, whilst Harboth sent their bones back to the Dwarf leader with instructions to send more halflings as he found them particularly palatable.
Uniforms : Ragged tunics and breeches, all clothing is very dirty with a generally cast-off appearance.
Harboth and his troops prefer to individualise their shield sby scrawling offensive pictures or slogans on them.
If you wish to include Harboths Black Mountain Boys in your army you must take both Harboth and Yaskin Forit
