The Godrath tribe was one of the numerous tribes that roamed the Northern Hordelands during the early stages of the First Epoch. Their rise to prominence and power has been largely attributed to the machinations of their shamans, the Kashu'khas. Descended from those who served Yeenoghu during the Demon Spawn War (89 GE - 269 GE), the Kashu'khas continued to serve as advisors to the chieftain, sometimes as leaders, and always as mediums to the realm of demons.
One of the more esteemed clans of the Kashu'khas were the Drugnods. Willing to forge pacts with unsavory forces, demonstrating fortitude and authority, they consistently maintained at least a quarter of their own on Kashu'khas's roster.
In 512, the Drugnods of Kashu'khas forged a dark pact with Demogorgon. Referred to as the Drugnod Pact, it marked the beginnings of a dynastic reign of greatness. This led to the rise of the Drugnod Dynasty (546 - 746), during which the Kashu'khas continued to serve as advisors to the Drugnod Empresses and their extended family.
In the First Epoch, the Kashu'khas disseminated Demogorgon's doctrine across the territories of their adversaries, particularly the Theegan of Briltarn. Currently, numerous autonomous cults dedicated to Demogorgon are dispersed throughout the swamps and mountains of the Witch Horde.
When the Drugnod Pact unexpectedly concluded, vampire agents of Demogorgon pursued the Drugnods. The Widows of Modrerthim arrived to collect the souls of the Drugnods as payment owed to Demogorgon. Six members of the Kashu'khas lost their souls. Held responsible for the ominous arrangement, the remaining Kashu'khas fled into Habazan where they resided as exiles for two centuries.
In the year 1143, at the Broken Teeth Meet, the Kashu'khas reemerged from their self-imposed seclusion and assisted the fragmented populations in unifying as the gnollish federation of Garormuk.
