Hoof of Gluttony

When raiding barrows, tombs, and crypts it is sometimes good to know what was buried there.

When Morbakh raided the Barrow of Agdúm, all he knew was that the barrow's dead Ogre Lord once

King of Taln'nazân

had a prized weapon of great power.  Unbeknownst to many, the history of that weapon and what happens to those who come to own it is obscure and dark.

Morbakh raided the Barrow of Agdúm, losing most of his soldiers and personnel guard to a powerful ghost.  This ghost was the ward of the barrow and cursed to give watch over the place.   One of her most dangerous powers is the ability to infuse another with the dark gift of Rioch Tetrax.  This comes in the form of them becoming an extremely powerful form of undead called a King of Taln'nazân.  Morbakh succeeded in gaining his much sought after prize, the Hoof of Gluttony.  He yanked what looked like a skeletal horse leg from the resting place of Agdúm and turned to meet the ghost.

Perhaps Morbakh put up a good fight, yet he still died.  His death while wielding the Hoof of Gluttony is probably how he came to be a type of undead called a famine spirit.  This wouldn't be so bad, except for the fact that he was also infused with fell energies from the barrow's ghost.  He became a Taln'nazân Famine Spirit-King, which is possibly the most powerful form for a King of Taln'nazân.
