Zanghif Grimtotem

“The Defector” Race: Shu’halo Class: Druid of the Fang Age: Early 50s Eyes: Pale Blue Height: 12′4″ Body Type: Muscle Gut, Bulk Birthplace: Stonetalon Mountains Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Physical Description: Zanghif Grimtotem, he kept the surname of his people. Standing at modest high for a bull at 12'4", he is a taller sight in Orgrimmar. He holds a lot of mass for his age. Hitting his prime, he is bulky, but the toned abs of his youth are long gone, he dons a muscle gut, but that does not hide his strength. He throws his weight around. He his one eye, normally covered by a tattered brown eye patch shines a pale silver, losing his sight when captured by cultists. His other, a pale ice blue, almost gray. He cares not to wear the eye patch, he'd much rather pull his eye out since it's useless. He has never cut his mane since he came of age and passed all his rites. Until recently he keeps the top in a mohawk and lets three dread locks grow down his back still for ease of access. Scars and burns cover his body from years of battle. He never bothered to repair many of them.

Personality: Zanghif is stoic, stands off to the side with a stone face, to which the Wolfmane pups have deemed him.. "Stoneface" trying to make him laugh. It usually does not work. Duty comes before all, he is always attentive to his surroundings and others. Like a rock, he will stand there and speak with a soft and deep voice.  As hes gotten older, hes learned to harness his rage. But when he loses control upon his enemies, he is brutal.  History: Zanghif, named Zuna'we at birth in the Cliffspear subsect of the Grimtotem tribes. The elder Sakem of the tribe predicted Zanghif would be a reaver. He trained and trained under his own birth father. When he was growing disinterested in becoming warrior/reaver, he was drawn to nature and the natural order around him. His sire beat him into submission to get him to wield a two-handed axe. Just before his coming of age, at the teenage years, late at night, he stole his father's polearm and stuck it in his chest with malice, killing his father. He escaped the Cliffspear then, making his way to Thunderbluff and pledging his fielty to the United Shu'halo Tribes under Cairne. He trained with an elder Druid of the Claw, and fought in the Northrend and Pandaria campaigns on the front lines in ursine form. Upon the schism of the Horde, he left his unit and his commanders because he was beaten by his Overlord, reminding him of his past, he took a dagger and slit his XO's throat. Under Garrosh's command, he sought asylum and trained with the Cenarion Circle for many years to harness his rage. He wandered the Barrens alone for many years after that. Until the spirits called him to venture to Highmountain, where he met Raton, the Chieftain of the Wolfmane. He serves the tribe loyally and more patience hes had in his life time.

Many fisherman, young and old, Highmountain and Azeroth Shu’halo alike, arrived in Bloodhoof Village prepared to compete in The Riverhoof Tribe’s Fishing Contest.

With poles in hand, the competitors raced to the waters edge, baited their hooks and cast their lines in the water. The energy surged as fish were pulled from Stonebull Lake. Each time a pole bent in the telltale ‘U’ anticipation grew. Koha’me fought hard to reel in a 12 lbs. Fish! Everyone cheered as he pulled it from the water. That was not the only large fish Koha’me caught… he also reeled in two 10 lbs. fish!  It’s a wonder his pole didn’t break.

The fastest to reel in 30 fish was The Riverhoof Tribe’s very own Rhianar! He even had time to set the smaller fish free. Rhianar was awarded the 1st place plaque and prizes. Next to bring in the buckets of fish was a young bull named Orawha. And the final 3rd place ribbon and prize was awarded to Koha’me. Had there been an award for fattest fish, he would have won that too. As the fishing contest came to an end, the group headed for the large tent for the “Best Dressed” competition.

Each participant voted for the best dressed. Everyone agreed that the 1st place winner was Wolfmane’s Tahani! She may not have fished the fastest, but she looked the best! The 2nd place award was presented to Koha’me. If only Tahani had fallen into the lake, he would have been the winner! Having completed the “Best Dressed” competition, the group headed for the bonfire to begin retelling “The one that got away” stories.

First up to weave his tale was Koha’me. He told a story of a heroic angling battle involving a beauty, a Drogbar, a boulder and booze. His story was animated, with a slight slur to his speech, his tale captivated the audience. Next up was Nauvi, she wasn’t competing, but had a story to tell. She told of a time 3 summers past when she thought fishing was feeding the fish. Between her giggles, she told the tale of feeding the Highmountain fish all her father’s biggest fattest worms. Following Nauvi was Chevekan, a Highmountain in Moose form. His story was filled with excitement as he stomped his hooves during his retelling. The final storyteller was Tahani. Her tale had the audience bending over laughing as she retold of the day where she was the flopping and very muddy fish! When the stories were finished it no longer felt like a competition, more like friends getting together to share their tales. In the end, winners were voted on and 1st place was presented to Tahani, 2nd to Chevekan and 3rd to Koha’me.

All the fish caught will be eaten and some dried for the colder months - none will go to waste. This competition provided much needed food for the tribe, but moreover, the tribe made new friends.
