History: (Dragonlance #28) - Feh was a Hobgoblin who lived in Aurim and was a lowly sludge-spreader, making a ring of offal around his clan’s den to repel outside threats. He wanted to marry Olob, and to that end he was collecting a huge pile of sludge to serve as his dowry. He was furious when Olob got engaged to the mighty hunter Snonk, who provided the den with slug meat. Feh decided to seek out Hobgoblin pundit Hanuk, asking him for a way to unseat Snonk as the most respected member of the clan. Hanuk got his hands on a Draconian spell, but admitted he hadn’t been able to translate the entire scroll. The scroll was a recipe for a potion which Feh drank, sending him to the dream-realm to commune with Erestem, Queen of Darkness. She was initially annoyed at seeing him in the dream-realm, but decided such an unassuming creature could serve some of her evil plans. She imbued Feh with power, and told him to bring her an offering that shined like the sun. Traag Draconians raided the Hobgoblin den, but Feh repelled them with his magic and grabbed the prize Erestem wanted, the Draconian leader’s ring. Feh convinced Olob to get engaged to him and banished Snonk. Erestem told him to go to the lands of the west and kill her enemy Riva Silvercrown, saying she chose Feh over her Draconians because she knew Riva would never see Feh as a threat. Before he left Feh proclaimed that all sludge-spreaders would be elevated to hunters, and all hunters demoted to sludge spreaders. In his absence Hobgoblin society went downhill, but everyone still obeyed his last orders fearing Feh would return and destroy them. Hanuk told them to return to the old ways, saying he’d finished translating the Draconian magic, and was sure Feh would not be back. Feh’s magical powers let him conquer all that stood before him, but left his back vulnerable. Feh blasted everything in his path, but was oblivious to the fierce monsters sneaking up behind him.
