EN3029 - Grembas Trophy
The mountains of the North are the homelands to the fearful hoards of Goblins ruled by their mighty king, Gremba. Within the heart of these mountains a macabre relic stands. Carved from ancient stone and primitively painted, a head of a dragon altar lies within the cavern pools of Grembas royal chambers. Lit only by torches, it's base littered with the trophies of the dead, slain elves, humans and dwarves by Gremba's own hand, a marque so revered within Goblin society that none would ever question, or rise to take his throne for fear of his skill with the double blades. However, Gremba¹s darker side also reveals a temperament totally unknown within the Goblin culture. A cave dragon known 'affectionately' as Kronnok, a goblin slang term meaning guardian, reared by his own hand, this orphan dragon became Gremba's loyal Associate, keeping guard of his royal chambers and keeping his enemies at bay. A dark, menacing beast, it's hide covered in dark, smooth scales. Its red eyes, so piercing, can see deeply into the darkened depths of the caverns. Wings of shimmering black leather cast an eerie shadow within the trophy walls A menacing threat to all but Gremba, King to the Wolves of the North.

OTHER INFORMATION |
This was the promotional piece for 2007 and was only available from shows* *Sorry, that's the official line but don't believe a word of what xystos say about any "special", "event", "members only" or "exclusive" pieces because you can bet that it's all just wording and you can walk into any enchantica stockists or go to any online dealers and they can get you one! it totally defeats the object and they may as well release every piece as an open edition and stop all the pointless wording and false advertising. to fool collectors. Then in February 2008 to put the icing on the cake, Xystos decided to "Re-release" the piece along with the 2007 redemption & club pieces as general release pieces. Rob was itching to do an evil dark dragon and this was the result |
