The foothold to the Eastlands was made possible after vanquishing a horde of primitive trollish warriors armor with clubs and a large piece of garlic, in Zorbel Pass.

The underground caverns inspired Duncanthrax to expand the area of his Empire, so he founded several companies (the forerunners of FrobozzCo International) to carry out his project. Cavern-building continued at a tremendous pace for the following year until his death, forming what would later be called the Great Underground Empire.
