Notes and trivia[]

He has an invisible Follower recruiting spell with the following description: Follower: Croman — Croman boldly stepped through the Dark Portal in search of justice and honor. Unfortunately for him, he was captured and subsequently lost his faith, chained up in the Bloodmaul Slag Mines. Croman's rescue has since rekindled his desire for redemption.
While the achievement recruits him directly, [Contract: Croman] was also created during development.
Croman parodies Conan, as portrayed by Arnold Schwarzenegger in Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer. He also quotes lines from other Schwarzenegger films, like Predator and The Terminator. His quest is a reference to the Riddle of Steel from Conan.
