Gulfrek Hjard is a Dawn Era bastion in the northern fog shrouds of Hokzii Stov. Built high in the mountains by the Thraedli, it was home to those freed from serving primordial interests, ex-soldiers of the Creation War (1486 DE - 8777 DE).
In the Demon Spawn War (8972 GE - 9493 GE), the giants of Gulfrek Hjard battled Orcus's demon hordes. Seen as a black mark on their history, they only saved themselves by teaching the demons their arcane craft. When Orcus's control of the surrounding region began to falter, the eldritch giants turned on the demons, joining with the Covernant armies moving against Ghak.
In the Lith-Crillion Era, Gulfrek Hjard's leaders, all Thraedli, marshaled their forces against a source of great magic. From the backs of giant rocs, they moved their forces to the alluvial wastes of the Sands of Hell. In 1115 LE, they captured the Pyramid of Life.
In the Horgon Era, Gulfrek Hjard were close allies of the Mir'piamauza Empire.
