Story[edit | hide | hide all]
Kilgor came of age during the Festival of Life and successfully won the tournament. He defeated the legendary Ancient Behemoth Razor Claw, cleared all monsters from a region of Krewlod, defeated all the other competitors and eventually killed the current king, Boragus.
Several years later, Kija (Kilgor's third wife) successfully beat Gelu and Tarnum to the Sword of Frost, acquiring it instead for Kilgor. When Kilgor later fought Gelu, his Sword of Frost clashed with Gelu's Armageddon's Blade, thus sparking The Reckoning and rendering Enroth uninhabitable.

Alternative biography[edit | hide]
The following biography was supposed to appear on the official (now-defunct) 3DO website, but due to a mistaken link was either never properly available or wasn't available among other biographies during all the dates the website was saved at by the Wayback Machine. A number of people claim they have accessed this biography somewhere on said website. The text was found on maps4heroes.com:
- Few remember a time when Kilgor did not fight alongside his father in many of Krewlod's internal clan wars. On his 18th birthday, Kilgor challenged his father for leadership of the clan. Falling quickly to his son's superior skill and ferocity, some say Kilgor's father died with a smile on his face. Why wouldn't a father be proud of his son's accomplishments?
- Despite being the son of a clan leader, Kilgor's life has not been one of comfort being brought up in the clan's military schooling.
- Knowing he would come of age during the 30 year 'Festival of Life', everything Kilgor has done was to prepare himself for his rise to the Krewlod's throne. His tactics have been called 'reckless' and 'brilliant'. Those who have encountered him on the battlefield and survived, recount stories of his 'insane pleasure' for the bloodlust of battle and the uncontrollable giggles of glee accompanying his berserker's rage. Kilgor has always sought the most chaotic center of the battlefield. To this day, he has always emerged from this chaos as the victor.
- Kilgor's weapon of choice is a large two-handed spiked mace. He was once heard commenting, "You can't hear bones break under a blade."
Lost Manuscripts[edit | hide]
In 1172 AS, Kilgor began his attempt to conquer Antagarich. He quickly took over parts of Erathia bordering Tatalia, then began invading Tatalia itself. Adrienne managed to forge an alliance between Tatalia and Erathia against Kilgor, but it did little more than slow him down. As Erathia was also busy fending off an assault from Mutare Drake, Kilgor quickly took over Marshland, the southern part of Tatalia, Hillbridge, Minewell and southern Avauntnell. His assault is stymied by Lysander, who reclaimed Avauntnell and most of Minewell before eventually reclaiming most of Erathia. Kilgor, however, personally leads the Krewlod forces in Tatalia, proving to be incredibly difficult to fight. He continues his bloodthirsty assault on Tatalia through 1176 AS, killing the king and destroying the country. In 1177 AS, Kilgor acquires the Sword of Frost and forces Gelu to confront him with Armageddon's Blade, thus causing The Reckoning and rendering Enroth uninhabitable.
