Clan of Dar'krest!
Today shall be announced the end of suffering! Finally our father blessed the Clan with it much
biggest success since the day of hammer!
Gôsh last night all efforts of us brave scouts got reward! In a plucky attemt the orcs attacked the
demonic mage Verdazar. Who managed to make everyone believe he got lost in oblivion of demonic
realms! Even his allies gave up on him. Not so the orcs! Nevermind, now the witcher is bounded in
chains and awaiting his tribunal in front of the Blood-Cicle! Hurray, me say. In secret action the
fameous and well blessed Shaman Knak'gash and
mighty Black-Skull Jag archieved the capture.
And tagtha, our ancestors will be proud for shure.

Furthermore the chief orders highest security level possible! Noone enters the dark hole cave!
Except the Blood circle of course. Delinquency will be punished with death, shouldn't the witcher kill you anyway.
Also - only members of the clan are allowd inside of the cave. No guests welcome, got it?

Hurr, until this is over mes want you to be very carefull. And for gods sake don't spoil anything to outsiders.
The temple might attempt to free their old leader, and so on.

Tribunal starts at 21. Ronas 36!
Where the bloodcircle will judge over the deeds of Verdazar!

May he suffer in front of Cherga soon.
May the clan hold the holy armor of ancestor Rugh'tho in it hands soon.

This is your proud chief writing!
Follow my orders!

~ The tribunal starts soon. ~

In the morning of 16. Irmas, year 36 the top of the mountain Dar'krest is on fire. They burned the altar of the Untold God and only ash is left of the fireplace. When the flames are gone the wind blows the ash all over the plateou. And at a slightly burned hedge - the orcs find a dirty smelly Chain. Several pointy ears are atached to it and soon they agree, who's chain it was. Just a few steps further, rolled behind a rock on the ground, there is the chief's helmet. It's heavely deformed and blackened by soot...

Am Vormittag des 16. Irmas im Jahre 36 steht der Gipfel des Dar'krests in Flammen. Sie verzehren den Altar des Ungenannten Gottes und verwüsten die Feuerstelle. Als die Flammen endlich versiegen vertreibt der Wind den großteil der Asche über das gesamte Plateou. In einem angesengten Busch finden die Orks eine verschmierte stinkende Kette. Verschiedne spitz zulaufende Ohren wurden getrocknet daran aufgefädelt. Schnell ist man sich einig, welchem tapferen Krieger dieses Überbelibsel einst gehörte. Nur wenige Schritte weiter hinter einem Stein liegt der Helm des Häuptlings. Er ist strak verformt und von Ruß geschwärzt...

A parchment in orcish has been pinned on the inside of both gates to the cave.

Since the Orc caves in the north was occupied by enemie forces the Clan board got moved to another cave. Wich is located in a secret place. Also somone updated the lists, concerning membership and alliances.

Defensive Alliance <->

The Bearers of the Fire

This Alliance includes right of way and right of hunting at land of Dar'krest. ~ view the actual memberlist of the order ~

~
Since all time there was a place, a hall where the Orcs of the Clan gathered to honor their ancestors. Where the walls are decorated with painted skins and rude faces was engraved into the stones. And even in the time of survey, when the Clans cave is lost... they prepare such a hall at a hidden place. Therefore the ancestors shall never be forgotten.

Black Skull Ratarusk

Better known as Jag, one of the few brothers who have became Blackskull for the Clan. He was master warrior and managed to handle almost all kinds of weapons. He, thus, also occupied the position of the Clan's drillmaster. His favourite weapons were his two widely feared maces – Stumpie Crasher and Longear Muncher –, which he used to cause many damage under the Clan's enemies after he joined the Clan during the reign of Chief Rugh'toh. Most famous was his successful participation in the battle against the former Temple during the Day of Green Growl, where he also won the tournament to Trolls Bane and became the First Knight of Gobaith temporally. He was also known for his terrifying collection of elven ears. He died side on side with his friend and Chief Murgo in the honourable defence of the holy mountain against the Bearers of Fire on the 16th of Irmas in the year 36 after the Sorcerer.

~ The picture shows a roaring warrior who wears a dark shadowplate underneath of his panther fur and swings two maces. The shadowplate is sinister decorated and appears frightening. A black orcish skull is painted on the chest of his armour and a little chain hangs at his belt, which is almost completely covered by a piece of fur. ~

Chief Murgo

~You examine a life-sized stone statue. It is coarse worked and frugal ornamented. Although the engraved details suffice to produce a comprehensive image of a bandy-legged, crooked orc. A moldy panther fur was placed over his shoulders and his lips smile invidious. His hair line starts at the back of his head and his stony eyes glancing filled with greed and deviousness straight forward. His chest is covered by bones formed out of stone like armor. At his side, there is a handy drum, engraved with scenes out of a warriors live. His right hand shoulders a mighty stony war axe. The left hand is in raised position, forming a claw big enough to hold a heart. The head of the axe is ornamented with orcish runes and symbols, telling those who know their meaning, that this axe was possibly blessed with the power of fire. Then, engraved at the statues pedestal in a meticulous way, the orc’s tale.~

~ Ihr betrachtet eine lebensgroße steinerne Statue. Sie wurde grobschlächtig behauen und lediglich schlicht verziert. Doch die herausgeschlagenen Details genügen um sich ein umfangreiches Abbild des dargestellten Orks zu machen. Er hat krumme O-förmige Beine und seine Fußspitzen zeigen nach außen. Ein moderndes Phanter-Fell wurde der Statue um den buckeligen Rücken gelegt. Seine Lippen umspielt ein garstiges Lächeln, sein Haaransatz ist ihm bereits weit auf den Hinterkopf gerutscht. Die steinernen Augen der Statue starren voller Gier und Niedertracht gerade aus. Am Oberkörper wurden kleinere und größere Knochenteile aus dem Stein gehauen, sie bilden eine Rüstung. An der Hüfte trägt er eine schlanke längliche Trommel mit sich, auf deren Seite verschiedene Szenen aus dem Leben eines Kriegers in den Stein graviert wurden. Mit der Rechten schultert der Ork eine mächtige steinerne Kriegsaxt. Indessen ist der linke Arm angehoben, mit der Hand eine Klaue formend, groß genug um ein Herz zu umfassen. Das Axtblatt wurde mit mehreren orkischen Runenzeichen verziert und die die der Sprache mächtig sind verraten die Zeichen, dass diese Axt einst mit der Macht des Feuers gesegnet worden sein soll. Der Sockel der Statue wurde ebenfalls eng und akribisch mit orkischer Schrift versehen. ~


This is our ancestor Murgo, chief of the Holy Mountain and Clan of Dar’krest. He earned big honor in live as well as in death. Therefore his deeds shall be engraved in stone, to inspire the younglings. He was notorious and redoubtable even at foreign folks. And their greatest warriors began to evoke the hideous smell of fear, by getting aware that our ancestor might be close. Never shall be forgotten the awesome victories of the Dar’krest while commanded by Chief Murgo. Soon after Murgos mentor and friend Rugh’tho was sealed by stone for eternity, he raised his axe to stand against Slug’Gnar and his Shadow Clan. Shortly they were forced to submit to the sovereignty of rightful chief Murgo and his loyal companions. Suddenly the ogre Grokk rose from the close mountains and attempted to conquer the Dar’krest Mountain with giant army of Ogres. In a heroic battle the siege was broken and finally Murgo slays the Grokk mano-a-mano. But the enemies of the Dar’krest are multitudinous. So our ancestor forged a chain of alliance with the mighty but malicious witcher Djironnyma. An artifice, which shall be revealed years later to scout the witchers’ weaknesses, because it was well known he wasn’t a usual mortal anymore. Several days later the ground of the human town Troll’s Bane was shivering. While a horde of orcish warriors and their allies achieve victory over the heretic Templers of Hellbriar. The following winter the warrior Krazzak gains sovereignty over a bunch of clan less orcs and gathers them under the banner of the Stormbloods. They should make the Dar’krest their enemie soon. With grim and strength the challengers got crushed and they say Murgo himself punished Krazzak for his deeds by putting his head on a pointy pale. Since time immemorial the orcs had to fight for respect and obeisance of the humans. Sick of the continuing vilification of orcs in the town of Troll’s Bane, Murgo and Black Skull Jag fought two successful battles against the current leader of the humans. Then in the year 36, of Irmas the chiefs’ artifice was revealed and our ancestors Murgo and Jag faced the witch master Djironnyma on the top of Dar’krest mountain. Both shall fall heroically by fulfilling their duty as warriors. Warriors, who never hesitated to risk their lives to defend the Clan and honor their Ancestors. Honor full chief Murgo, faced even setbacks with cool blood and bravery. Therefore it is now our proud duty to respect the forefathers and take their exemplary deeds as ideal for our own live.

- May the forefathers, residing in the green Land of the Ancestors look upon their successors with pride. -

Dies ist unser Ahn Murgo, Häuptling über den heiligen Berg und Klan Dar’krest. Der große Ehre erlangt hat, im Leben wie im Tod. So seis nun hier in Stein geschlagen, dass seine Taten die Jünglinge anspornen. Er war berüchtigt und gefürchtet. Selbst unter den fremden Völkern kannten die Krieger seinen Namen und begannen widerlich nach Angst zu stinken, glaubten sie unseren Ahn in der Nähe. Niemals sollen die Siege des Dar’krests vergessen werden, die durch Murgos Befehl errungen wurden. Alsbald nachdem Murgos Mentor und Freund Chief Rugh’tho für die Ewigkeit im Stein eingeschlossen wurde, erhob Murgo seine Axt um den Slug’Gnar entgegen zu treten. Der schließlich mitsamt seiner Gefolgschaft dem Schatten-Klan, dem rechtmäßigen Häuptling des Dar’krests und seinen Treuen unterlag und sich dem mächtigen Murgo unterwerfen mußte. Kaum nach diesem Sieg erhob sich im nahen Gebirge der Ogerhäuptling Gork und trachtete danach den Berg Dar’krest zu erobern. In einem heldenhaften Kampf gelang es den Festungsberg zu halten und schließlich erschlug Murgo den Gork von Angesicht zu Angesicht. Doch dies waren nicht alle Feinde des heiligen Berges. Um den Klan vor dem mächtigen aber bösartigen Hexer Djironnyma zu schützen schmiedete Murgo ein enges Bündnis mit diesem. Eine List, die sich erst offenbarte als unser Ahn die Schwächen des vermeintlich unsterblichen Hexenmeisters ausgeforscht hatte. Und Tage darauf sollte die Menschenstadt Troll‘s Bane unter den Schritten der Ork-Armee und ihrer Verbündeten erzittern. Hier errungen unsere starken Krieger den Sieg über den ketzerischen Tempel Hellbriars. Im darauf folgenden Winter erhebt sich der Krieger Krazzak über einen Haufen klanloser Orks und vereint sie unter dem Banner der Sturmblüter, der Stormblood-Clan. Welcher sich den Dar’krest schon bald zum Feind machen sollte. Mit Grimm und Stärke wurden die Stormbloods zerschlagen und es heißt der große Murgo selbst habe Krazzak für seine Angriffe gestraft und seinen Schädel auf einen Pfahl gepflanzt. Seit je her mußten die Orks bei den Menschen um Respekt und Ehrerbietung kämpfen. Die ewigen Herabwürdigungen der Menschlinge in der Stadt Troll’s Bane leid, schlug Murgo gemeinsam mit Schwarzschädel Jag zwei siegreiche Schlachten gegen den herrschenden Menschling. Dann im Jahre 36, des Irmas gelang es unseren Ahnen den Hexenmeister Djironnyma mit einer List auf den Gipfel des heiligen Berges zu locken. Wo unsere Ahnen Murgo und Jag heldenhaft im Kampf gegen diesen fielen und erfüllten so ihre Pflicht als Krieger. Krieger deren unzählige Heldentaten von Mut und Ehre zeugen, stets bereit mit ihrem Leben den Klan Dar’krest zu schützen und dessen Ahnen zu Ehren. Als ehrenvollster unter seinen Kriegern ertrug unser Häuptling selbst Niederlagen, die gering an der Zahl waren, mit kaltem Blut und Tapferkeit. So ist es nun unsere ehrenvolle Pflicht die Vorväter zu achten und uns von ihren beispielhaften Taten leiten zu lassen.

- Mögen die Vorväter im grünen Land der Ahnen mit Stolz auf ihre Nachfahren blicken. -
