History
The bandit clan was founded in the end of the Third Age, at TA 2995 by Gurluhk the Wolf and his daughter Hratti the Marauder. They started attacking villages, farms and caravans, usually killing everyone within. On TA 3005, Gurluhk snatched a prominent Farmer and sliced him into pieces. The Farmer's daugher, Idda, tracked a small group of Blood Wolves to the Windwood Hideout, she killed everyone in the hideout. After learning of this, Gurluhk and Hratti destroyed the farm, and killed everyone. Idda was not in the farm, and destroyed many groups of Blood Wolves. Later, in TA 3009, the only remaining strongholds of the Blood Wolves were the Shadowpeak Cave, Fort Ironhammer and a ruined tower. Idda killed everyone in the ruined tower, but after this, Hratti confronted Idda when she was going to enter Shadowpeak Cave, the two battled and near the end of the duel, Hratti sliced Idda's right leg, she fell in the ground but was still alive. Idda threw her sword in Hratti's left arm, she shouted and removed the sword from her arm, and when she was going to hit Idda, a group of elves (who had been recently attacked by the Blood Wolves) stormed the cave and shot Hratti in the heart, the marauder fell into a lake inside the cave and her corpse was never found, probably devoured by the dangerous animals in the lake. Gurluhk became mad after his daughter's death, and chased Idda, eventually finding her near his fort. He fought with her and broke her armor when he almost killed her with a steel mace. But Idda kicked Gurluhk's face and picked her dagger up and stabbed the bandit's heart. Gurluhk died, while looking into the eyes of his greatest foe.
