Morlock the Orc

Morlock was an Orcish rogue wizard who was enticed by the rumors of the power of the profane flame. He hired the goliath mercenary Gromm to aid him in his quest. He encountered the party at the Cunning Hearth Inn and warned them not to leave early the next morning for Eleum Loyce, so they wouldn't arrive at the city before him.

The party heeded his warning and followed later the next morning, discovering a band of cultists slaughtered by him and Gromm on the way to the city. Continuing on the party discovered a battle going on just inside the walls of Eleum Loyce between Gromm, Morlock, and a band of cultists.

The party joined the battle on the side of Gromm and Morlock, but after the cultists were defeated, Morlock seized the power of the profane flame for himself and tried to flee. He was shot in the back by Hellstrom and killed.
