Though those who call themselves “Broken Tusks” can trace their lineage back thousands of years, the banner of the Broken Tusk itself—which symbolizes the values of its followers— is fairly new. Six generations ago, a terrible evil crawled from the earth and threatened the land. To stave off this evil, a few rebellious members of one following made a great sacrifice. The other members, feeling betrayed, took their banner with them, forcing the rebels who remained to make a new name and identity for themselves. To symbolize their perseverance in the face of overwhelming odds, the rebels called themselves the Broken Tusk.
