===Youth=== The world of Thorond-ul had fallen back into feudal subsistence during Old Night, with its few inhabitants terrorized by ferocious predators. When one of the Emperor's Primarchs fell to its surface, there were no men to take the child into their family. The infant grew into a feral thing, neither man nor beast. He lived anonymously in the forests, hunting and feeding on the beasts and feared by those few men who caught even a glimpse of him. So it went for years, until Nath, a huntsman from the settlement of Dakh-agh happened upon the Beast-Man of the Endless Jungle slaying a great reptilian beast single-handedly. What struck the huntsman was not the killing itself, but that the Beast-Man had snared his quarry in a trap. Nath reasoned that a creature who could craft the most basic of machines could also learn the other ways of men. With the utmost caution he approached the Beast-Man with weapons lowered and heart thumping. Establishing contact was difficult, but patient Nath slowly won the Beast-Man's trust. He ended up giving him the name "Nathan"(or Brother of Nath). At first Nathan was not trusted by the local inhabitants. Some feared he would steal their children and babes to feast on in the night, others worried his natural tendency towards barbarity could lead to acts of violence over simple misunderstandings. Nathan took in stride, not worrying for the petty thoughts of scared fools. He had found a better life alongside Nath, and for that he would stay with him. Eventually the Predators broke down the cavaliers and footmen sworn to keep them at bay, causing great suffering to reign in the villages at the frontier. Using all he had learned from both spheres of the world, from the humid wilds to the stone and knowledge, Nathan was able to turn back the tide by his own will and strength alone. Nathan's might quickly won over the small community of Dakh-agh. He became their chief and terrible protector, teaching the menfolk to trap and hunt the predators that had once hunted them. But the help of Nathan had a price. He forced his hunters to eat the flesh of the terrible beasts they slew. Many died, but those who survived grew strong. Dakh-agh became a bloody bastion of mankind's strength, drawing other humans to its growing walls and winning allied settlements. As the great beasts grew small, Nathan only had one choice if he wanted his thirst for hunting to be satisfied. He would conquer the surrounding lands, seeking new hunting grounds. The long years of war and hunting left only one master of Thorund-ul: Nathan-Og, the Endless Mouth. He cared not to manage the affairs of state, only wishing greater prey but understood the necessity of a strong government. He pruned out the selfish and the deceitful, putting in their place the driven and honest. His rule on Thorond-ul was known as the Great Peace of Groghtuk(Advisers), for under the efficient hand of these functionaries the realm was brought into a never before seen golden age that they had never experienced during their feudal wars and battles with the roaming predators. Nathanog was happy to always have a large recruiting base to summon up new warriors for his hunts, as many did die in them and he always required new blood.
