Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era - Обсуждение

Gronk the Fourteenth was born as the heir to a dwarven clan, but his life was anything but the strict upbringing expected of a future leader. His parents, blinded by their devotion to their child, obsessively shielded him from hardship. He never had to bear any burden. Servants dressed him, advisors spoke for him, and the very thought of discomfort vanished. While others were tempered in the forge of duty, Gronk remained soft, untouched by labor or expectation. By the time his parents died, leaving him the clan's legacy, he had neither the will nor the ability to wield it.
When the Song echoed through the Garrot Gorge, he heard the invitation—a promise of purpose without effort, a community that would serve him with knowledge, victories, and riches on a silver platter. Gronk sought a cocoon that would feel as comforting as before, the favor of the Hive Queens themselves. He was charmed, and they welcomed him with open arms.
But the Hive Queens do not love as humans or dwarves do. Their affection was a transformation. His body morphed into a larval form, his mind sharpened, allowing him to command even the most rebellious queens and their nests. Now, Gronk barely remembers who he was. He is little more than a pulsating mass carried by his beloved Hive Mother, twitching and gurgling with pleasure. And when he speaks, he murmurs: “Grunk! Grunk!”
