Greyspire Tarantulas
Roster [X] Dark Elf

The Tarantulas were originally conceived as an advertising gimmick by Killer Koval's Exotic Pet Emporium, the largest pet shop in Greyspire. The team was named after the shop's best selling pet, the Lustrian ground spider, famous among affluent dark elves for its 400lb. size, docility toward children and proclivity to pass gas when company comes over. Koval created the team by buying the contracts of has-beens from the dark elf minor leagues.

The Tarantulas' first few games involved playing well-established company teams, such as the Nuln Associated-Haberdashers-and-Bonnetmakers Fidoras and the Bretonnia Armor-Emporium Shields. The Tarantulas were roundly trounced in every match. Adding insult to injury were the uniforms the Tarantula players were forced to wear: bright purple and red outfits,a garish drawing of a spider on the front, with "Buy Yourself a Fuzzy Fiend at Koval's Today!" on the back. The routine beatings continued for several months.

Eventually, however, the players tired of the treatment. Abkhal, an aspiring young talent from Greyspire who signed on for a ham sandwich, dediced the team needed a different direction. As the team was on the road playing a game, Abkhal snuck from his "hotel room" (a horse barn where the team was staying), snuck into Koval's suite and slew him. In the ensuing weeks, Koval's descendents tried to lay claim to the team as part of their inheritance, but anyone from the family who made an ownership claim disappeared, occasionally returning to Greyspire in a barrel. Eventually, Koval's family found other things to invest in and the team was purchased by the dark elf noble Pittston the Remarkably Insane, who still holds ownership.

Pittston, knowing a good business opportunity when he saw one, bought some of the brightest dark elf talent available from the draft and entered the team in the FUMBBL, a league that offered more competition, money and a bigger spotlight than playing the likes of the Kislev Furry-Lined-Coat-Producers Beavers. The team has done fairly well, though an excessive amount of player deaths has forced Pittston to significantly increase player salaries to keep them from going into less dangerous athletic pursuits, such as dragon-boxing or kicking giants in the crotch and seeing if one is subsequently faster than said giant. Pittston has also chewed off his right index finger, though this has nothing to do with the play of his team or anything relevant to this biography. For the Tarantulas, the future is bright, probably because the head coach, Markus Grieve, has lit himself on fire in an attempt to motivate the team .
