Orcs ob da northern mountains

Post by Rugh'toh »

Former topics are here: The Bloodskull Clan | Kurga's BloodSkull Clan | The Skullcrusher Clan | Orcs of Dar'krest

~~The following messages are written in Orcish and painted in blood on a wide stretch of pig skins sewn together within the orc cave of the north.
Only those trained in the language of the Orcs and able to access the cave in the north can see it, let alone understand it. ~~

Greebas, Brothers and Sisters!

In these past few weeks, our brethren have been coming back together under an old banner that once flew in the winds many years ago. The need for a unified and strong clan to once again exist on the island was apparent amongst many of our brothers. The time has come once again to unite under a new, reinvigorated banner to revitalize the strength of our diminished kin. No longer shall we be under the boot of others, and no long shall we bicker amongst one another to cause disunion amongst our kind. Strength and honour will be restored to us in these coming years, and we shall rise in name once again.

The once great Bloodskull clan diminished years ago, and it has only been in more recent times that the clan is coming to exist once more. The old clan saw a great many days of glory for our kind. We were revered as warriors, and honored as such by others outside and inside our own race. The time has come again to rise above the ashes, and reforge a great Orc Clan. Let none say against our union, and our strength together. The time has come to stand tall, my brothers, and unite. So once again, the Orcs will walk these lands united. We will lay claim to what is rightfully our own. Our predecessors did not die in vain for the glory we found so long ago.

Behold, my brothers, the reforming of the clan. Glory to the Orcs of Dar'krest!


Image

What we are...
  • We are not a guild - In a guild, politics dictate the actions.
    We are not a guild - In a guild, what keeps members together, is the fees they pay, the name they gather under, and the commands of their leaders.
    We are not a guild.
    We are more.

    We are a clan - This is what makes us strong, stronger than any guild can dream of becoming. We are not a group of people who gather under one name for some questionable purpose. We are one in spirit, and this is why we can proudly say: We are a clan!

    We are all Orcs - We all fight and work for the same thing:
    • Our Homeland
    • Honor
    • and most of all: Respect for the Orcs of Illarion.
      We are kept together by this dream - this mutual goal. And by that knowledge, we will achieve it. From this the actions of the clan are derived.
Image

Rules

Even a clan needs rules that the members have to follow. Otherwise it will descend into chaos and cease to exist.
Therefore, fellow Orcs, here you may read the rules that every Orc must obey:
  • No Orc shall ever raise a hand onto another Orc, unless it is self-defence.
  • No Orc shall ever deny help to his borthers or sisters.
  • No Orc shall ever break his oath to our father, Lord Moshran.
  • No orc shall forget the power of the great hunter, Lord Malachin; the mistress of souls, Cherga; and the fire-lord, Lord Bragon.
  • No Orc shall ever kill without reason (although, if well presented, an insult may prove to be a reason).
  • Any Orc must follow the instructions and rulings of the Chief.
  • It is wise to follow the instructions of the Blood Circle and the Warlord. If they issue orders, they are surely not for the worst of neither the clan nor the member who is to fulfill them. Gracious rewards can be awaited for the completion of especially dangerous tasks and good work.

Image ~ 2. Homeland ~ Image


Traditionally, in the past following the Northerot Wars, the city of Troll's Bane honored the Bloodskull Clan with the entire Northern Peninsula as a reward for their daunting prowess and bravery in combat against Darlok and his minions. Over time, the Varshikarii came northwards and under the agreement that they would protect the castle against the resurrection of Darlok and his hordes, they were awarded the castle, and lands surrounding it.

Since the clan fell from activity in previous times due to war and internal conflict (like other clans that followed), land was lost and either unclaimed or annexed by other factions. The Bloodskulls bled for the land of the North, and by that right, they have a claim to that which rightfully belongs to them. Therefore, under these terms of blood-shed by our predecessors, the Orcs claim the following lands. Let none say otherwise.

Land can and will be added to the Orc claim in the future depending on the course of events that follow. If war comes, or if a nation falls, and if the situation is proper, expansion may or may not come. (This is a very slim chance, but it is still possible.) For now, the Orcs lay claim to the following lands.

Image ~ 3. Clan Structure ~ Image


More important to all of the following mentioned titles, all orcs will be treated as equals! We are all brothers and sisters, and we shall treat eachother as such.



Blood Circle
The clan consists of a basis of members and a council, called the 'Blood Circle'. Council members are equal to members in every aspect except in that it is them who's votes decide on eventual changes in the clan. The council can consist of up to five Orcs, but it may never consist of an even number of members. Every honorable Orc can become a council member once, and every Orc has an influence on the decisions the council makes. No changes that have not been discussed with the members before may be initiated by the Council. Council members can also be chosen by the Chief of the Clan.

In times of peace, the Blood-circle shall determine what activities the clan shall focus on. These may include the expansion of the cave, diplomacy matters with other factions on the island, trade with other cities and factions on the island, projects in or on the land owned by the clan, and other things that come to mind.

Blood-Circle member can be removed or added to by the discretion of the Chief. If an orc fails to uphold his title, he shall be removed and a more suitable candidate will replace him. This includes inactivity or failure to perform one's duties. Unless otherwise said by the chief, the roles of Clan Shaman and Red Skull are appointed for life. Therefore, those individuals selected will be expected to fulfill these duties.



Chief
This is the highest rank possible within the clan. The Chief is expected to carry out his role of maintaining unity and order within the clan, and dealing effectively with threats outside the clan. The Chief(ess) is the figure whom the clan looks up to, and respects, and in turn, the Chief(ess) will look to all his brothers with respect and honor.

The position of Chief may never be challenged from outside the clan. It can only be passed through blood, challenge from a Clan member, or chosen by the Chief himself. The Chief can also appoint titles to Clan members, and his word can make or break a decision for the Clan. The Chief of the Clan is the head of the 'Blood Circle' as well.

In the event of the death of the Chief, the blood-circle will convene to determine a new Chief who shall uphold the fundamentals of the clan, and keep unity within the ranks. Idealistically, the Chief must be one willing to sacrifice all and everything he has for the clan and his brothers within it. To the Chief, nothing more should be important than his brothers and the survival of the clan.

Diplomatic matters will be personally handled by the Chief, but the Blood-circle shall convene to speak their thoughts on the matter on such things as to whether or not the diplomatic situation shall benefit the clan as a whole.

The Chief alone decides when times of war have come. He considers the Blood Circle's opinion as well as the Warlord's opinion.



Clan Shaman
The clan shaman will act as an advisor to the Chief, and as the voice of our father, Lord Moshran, to the rest of the clan. The clan Shaman must have a great knowledge of our father, and be considerably skilled in his craft. The Shaman must also be cunning, and willing to sacrifice his life for the glory of the clan just as any other member of the Blood-Circle. There will be only one clan Shaman.



Warlord
The Warlord will act as an advisor to the Chief in times of peace.
The warlord is named by the Chief.

In the case of war, the Warlord and the Chief will determine how and where the forces of the Clan shall be dispersed to deal with the threat. The warlord shall lead the forces of the clan against the foe, and shall put themselves ahead of those whom fight with them for the glory of the clan.




~ The rights for each of the folowing ranks are written down in the internal clan board ~


ImageBlack Skull
For exceptional deeds orcs who already have the title Red skull can receive the rank of Black Skull. Their word in the war council weights much. A statue in the hall of ancestors is assured! The rank Black Skull can only be given to orcs if the Chief, Warlord and Shaman agree on it.



ImageRed Skull
The rank of Red Skull will be awarded to the orcs who have been with the clan for a considerable amount of time, and proves his worth and devotion to the cause with the skill of his blade. Red Skulls have courage, and be willing to stand up to a problem with his quick wit and, if the situation demands it, their weapon. Red Skulls will fight honorably in battle, and put themselvesf before their brothers in a dangerous situation where his merit is worth. Red Skulls shall train new orcs and those needing it in the art of the weapon.



ImageSilver Skull
These are very skilled Orcs of any craft (being warrior, craftsman, or shaman) who have been with the clan for a considerable amount of time and have proven their loyalty to the cause of the clan. These are the elders of the clan, and will be responsible amongst others for spreading the message to other orcs of the clan. They will also be responsible for training new brothers into the clan. There may be up to three Silver Skulls. As the Clan grows, it may become a Tribe. At that time, the Chief of the Tribe may appoint a silver skull with the additional duty of being a sub-chief of another clan. The Other Clan will be independent with a Separate cave, Totem Animal, money and supplies to start but still tied to the ‘Mother’ Orc Clan under a ‘Tribal’ Government.



ImageWhite Skull
These are skilled Orcs of any craft (being warrior, craftsman, or shaman) who have been with the clan for a considerable amount of time and have proven their loyalty to the cause of the clan. They are not so skilled as Silver Skulls, but do have great potential and blessing by father.



Other Titles
Other titles aside from the council include those associated with your craft as an individual. Like all other races, we will have a multitude of individuals skilled in crafts, weapons, and magics. These titles shall be unique in a certain sense, but in kin to others.

Image ~ 5. Great Hall of Warriors ~ Image

Below the list, an honorable memorial of past orcs who have served the Clan and lead it through previous times, as well as orcs who led the clans that disbanded before the reforging of the Skulls, shall be listed. Our Great Hall shall bear memorial to those that have lived for the Clan, and for those that died. A brief description of their contributions shall be mentioned, and a history of the clan shall also follow those remembered on these halls of the former days.

Many of the individuals you will find listed below have long since departed this world and travelled through the halls of the Mistress of Souls to meet our father, Lord Moshran. I hope that all look upon them as I do with the utmost respect. Know their names well, and pray that their spirits may watch over the clan and all the future generations of the clan to come.



Legendary Brothers and Sisters
~Descriptions and etchings of likenesses can be found hung upon the walls of the new "Great Hall" of the Bloodskull Clan always watching and guarding their descendants and sharing in their Glories~


Chief Veralion - Chief Veralion was one of the first chiefs and founding fathers of the original clan. Under his reign, the clan saw it's most prosperous and productive years. His efforts helped keep the clan together in times both thick and thin. When the darkest hours fell upon Gobiath and upon the clan, Veralion's spirit was always there to catapult us back onto the path of glory. In life, he was honorable, well respected by fellow clansmen, and revered as a great savior of our kin. His death came all too soon, unfortunately. It is suspected that the years finally caught up with him, and the great Lord Moshran beckoned his child to come home to him. Rest in peace, old friend.

A crude etching of the orcs visage can be seen below his description in the stone of the cave wall.
Image


Kaja Wolfagen - Shaman, disciple, and child of the Bone Lord.
Kaja was one of the greatest Shamans to ever live on the island of Gobaith. His teachings of our father instilled great knowledge into the clansmen of the time. Many looked up to this orc with great respect. He had seen much in his days of life, which clearly showed in his ragged old form. During the Northerot wars, his magics helped create a lasting impression of power and glory for the clan.

Many around Gobaith knew and feared his name, for his prowess in his arts was nothing to be joked of. Most suspected the great shaman would meet his end in a quarrel with a human, but as a prime example of weakness in our kind at it's greatest, the great shaman of the Bloodskulls met his untimely end to a larger, younger counterpart seeking power. The Great Shaman's death initially ushered in the fall of the Bloodskull Clan, for few great leaders remained to guide the younger orcs. The Bone Lord ultimately punished this younger, ignorant orc and accepted the great shaman into his welcoming arms. Rest in peace, old friend.

Once again, a crude etching of the Shaman's visage appears on the stone under the blood smeered description, depicting what the great Shaman might have looked like in life.
Image


Chief Gurok - Gurok was the first Chief of the Bloodskull Clan. Not much remains known of his reign and how the Clan faired under him. Neither has his fate been left to any orc's knowledge on this island. The last true orc who remembered him was the former Chief Veralion, now deceased.
A crude etching of the orcs visage can be seen below his description in the stone of the cave wall.
Image


Kzarak Zurouch - Kzarak was another chief who briefly reigned over the Bloodskull clan. His reign was the shortest of the original three, albeit highly honored. Kzarak was a warrior who devoted his life to the clan, and fought for the beliefs established by the clan. Whether he is deceased, or still alive is unknown. Once again, little remains to be known about this one.
A crude etching of the orcs visage can be seen below his description in the stone of the cave wall.

Image


Grunith Shuith – Grunith is the former chief who briefly tried to rally the clan before his mysterious disappearance.
A crude etching of the orcs visage can be seen below his description in the stone of the cave wall.

Image


Gabon Corad - He maintained the Clan until Warrior Queen Kurga Wolfbane assumed control of the Clan as it’s first ‘chiefess’. He currently serves as Red Skull as the eldest and most respected Bloodskull. He currently runs the clan.
A crude etching of the orcs visage can be seen below his description in the stone of the cave wall.
Image


Kurga Wolfbane – Warrior Queen Kurga Wolfbane, murdered by a clans man known a Zub. She was betraid and ambushed by Zub and several humans and elves. Kurga is most recent ruler of the Bloodskull clan. Under her short term leadership, the Orc Cave was expanded, the armory replenished and Orcs recruited. May she rest well with the greatest honor an orc can recieve.
A crude etching of the orcs visage can be seen below his description in the stone of the cave wall.
Image


Warlord Retlak - His name stood for the strength and superiority of the Orcs. His name was mentioned with respect by Orcs and spoken with fear by others. All beings of the human town as well as the desert town hold their breath when the Warlord entered the gates. The warlord lived for many, many years on the island. He fought side on side with Gabon Corad and Gort called "Crunk". Even today many people will remember the warlord's name, even many years after his death.
The Orcs honor Retlak for his deeds when he was alive. The time after his unholy resurrection shall be forgotten.


General Grivijak - Compared to the warlord Retlak, General Grivijak lived on Gobaith for a quite short time only. However, in his given time he became the strongest warrior of the whole island. He used his strength and wisdom to unite the Orcs with help of Gabon Corad.
There are rumors about his disappearnce. Some say he just left the island. Others say a horde of mighty demon beasts were able to strike him down with help of magic.


Borgrud - Bor was a loyal warrior of great strength, who was surrounded and attacked by the cowardly humans of Trollsbane who sought to enslave him. He defended himself with great strength and vigour, not failing for a second with his sword. They bound him with ropes, but he broke free, and shouting his last word "FREE!" charged into them. He was killed that day, infront of his own daughter Krebla's eyes. His example shows that the orcs cannot be held down, and after the horde spilled the blood of his murderers on the city streets we gained the respect and fear that the orcs deserve.

Image ~ 6. History ~ Image

Although we are all present, the clan has not existed forever. Behold the Legend of Creation!

Since forever the Orcs have been looked upon with scorn and jealousy by the other races. Created in the Age of Concord by the younger god Moshran, they already showed what were to become their most known characteristics: lust for war, deadly intelligence, incredible skill with weapons, and a short temper. With those combined skills they brought chaos and destruction with them wherever they went.
This the people remember.
Later, the god Moshran was overwhelmed by the still alive powers of his long defeated foe, Madrook Na’han, and became evil. Gathering the hiding armies of chaos around him, and unleashing the powers they still held, he brought about the Age of Discord. He was no longer the savior of the world anymore. He had become an evil and powerful god who brought fire and destruction to the world of Illarion. And thus is how he is remembered to this day. Now, he is who is remembered to be the creator of the Orcs: Not the noble god who rescued the world from its worst foe, nor the god he had been while creating this new fierce race. The Orcs are remembered to be created by the God of Blood and Bones, the god he didn't become until long after their creation.
This the people remember.
What the people forget, or rather choose not to remember, is that when Moshran set the powers of the army of chaos upon Illarion, the Orcs were not spared from the brutal and bestial attacks. They fought side by side with Humans, Elves, Dwarfs, and Halflings for the freedom of their world, and not but few of them left with their lives on the battlefields. The freedom of Illarion has also been payed for with the lives of Orcs!
This the people choose to forget.
The Orcs have become a dishonoured and hated race over time. They are not beautiful to look upon, and they are quick to use their weapons upon others. So they have been declared a race of criminals, murderers and worse.
This is not true. Just as there are treacherous Elves, there are Orcs who are murderers. But just as nobody disrespects Elves for the few among them who are evil, no one should disrespect all Orcs for those who are different.

And no one shall.

After long ages of dishonorful life under the hatred of the other races, the Orcs have decided to stand up. Three of the most powerful Orcs of Illarion, known by the names of Kzarak, Gurok, and Veralion, have come together and sworn an oath to bring the Orcs to the surface of the world, out of their hiding places. They swore not to rest until the Orcs are treated like every other race, until they are payed their due respect. They started showing openly in the public, trading with people and befriending persons from the other races, showing that an Orc is a worthy companion, and a friend to be trusted. But those who were not able to understand, those who were rude and disrespectful were treated in the way the Orcs have always treated their enemies. They had the opportunity to understand that if you are an Orc's friend, it is the greatest treasure that can be achieved, but if you are an Orc's enemy... well, that'll only last a few moments...
Soon, many other Orcs joined the cause, and they followed the example of their leaders. The Fellowship grew, and it became a clan. A clan that calls itself the Bloodskull Clan.




The Day of the Hammer - 08. Malas year 27 - written by Warlord Rogruk
Image
Brothers and sisters, rejoice! Today, history was written!

When the Warlord was about to enter the human city after the meeting with the chief, he ran into the dwarven army, led by the queen herself!

They thought that I, the Warlord, is an easy target for them! I stood my ground to their insults and when they were just about to attack, Taliss, our allied lizard friend, appeared from the back and stood by my side! Toghether we fought like bothers, slashing trough dwarves like a hot knife trough butter! The queen herself started running arround like a scared pig sent to slaughter and even though the dwarves used fierly, magic weapons that nearly sent me to the grave, they soon fell and drowned into their own pool of blood!

The queen dragged herself to the cross, where, me , Taliss and the human Tirrend, tied the queen up and dragged her all the way to the cave, shoving her into the jail!

Brothers, rejoice! We have captured the queen! Now she will face the trial of the orcs, she will face our anger!

All meet tomorrow so we judge the dwarf queen by the orc laws!

All honor Taliss, our brother lizard, he has proven his strenght and honor, fighting side by side with the Warlord! Also, let us not forget the braveness of Tirrend, the human, who even though he is a guard of Trolls Bane, he helped us into capturing the queen!

Let this be known as the Day of the Hammer! , the day when the dwarf army got crushed under the feet of those that fought for honor!

Ergoth’s Quest
Veralion's death date: The fifteenth year after the landfall of the survivors of the darkness of the mainland, in the month of Eldas, on the 16th day.
It had been some time... nearly five years since the blood of Veralion was seen walking or even spilled on to the ground. Sunlight had just began to peek over the horizon when a small orcen vessel dropped its anchor off of the shores of Gobaith. A tattered flage waved in the winds the rose from the waters, and a faint red skull could be seen with two x's next to it. A figure grunted, stood on the edge of the ships deck, and plunked in to the water. The anchor lifted from the water and caught wind, slowly drifting away again.
Moments later, the clad figure reached the shore and rose out of the water, carrying only a few basic supplies. He was a little taller, but not as broad as his father. What some used to call bloodlust was nothing compared to what this orc was capable of. He was still young and fierce. Ergoth paced in the sand, thinking about how things might have become after such time. His instincts told him that things were not as well as he had hoped. He was afraid he was too late for his father. He could only hope he was not too late for the clan. With a hand on each one of the daggers on his hilt, he stood looking into the sun. His eyes, too, were of his fathers. One was a neon green, and the other a horrid red. The bow on his back was of Bloodskull craftsmanship. His armor had the traditional red skulls painted on it.
Ergoth had previously made his living as a mercenary Bloodskull. He lead many raids on small colonies and made riches and gained honor from that. He was an excellent marksman and faught well with a dagger. He remembered that his father always preferred a good staff or a double-handed sword and of course, the favored 'beheader'.
Years ago, he had recieved a letter from his father while he was in a period of rest and peace. It was scratched out in blood, telling of the troubled times that were about. Skirmishes were frequent and there was no true friend. This, however, had always been the regular for such a clan. In a sense, they were good times. The only thing that was truely troubling was the fact the not even the orc brethren would rally together.
The letter requested he come to the island, to take on the fight and to take what was rightfully his. Shortly after, Veralion was turned upon. Murdered by the bribed guards of the very cave Veralion spent his whole life working for along with the Bloodskull clan.
Ergoth knew that the time was now his, and he knew just what he wanted to do. He would begin a search for brothers of the clan, find out about his father, and hold the Bloodskull banner even higher than before. He raised his Bloodskull horn to his lips and blew a harsh noise...



Mordred & Nemanna
The Doompeak mountains they say, is a cold, unheartly place.
This may be true for most of the orc's dwelling in this nest of Uglieness.
But the orc Mordred was different. He was the orcspawn of the Gore Duo. They only managed to make one son before they sacrificed themself to Moshran, the Bone Lord. Mordred had a name of terror, and most Orc fled at sight. Mordred, at first, loved this feeling of power, but soon grew tired of it. One day when his pack reaped a human village for the fun of it, he saw a flower he had never seen before. It was the most beautiful thing he'd ever seen, and he ran to the hill where it grew to inhale it's sweet musk.
When he was a few feet away from the flower, he saw a young beautiful(?!?!?!) Goblin Lady. Nemenna. She was the Goblin druid of the Spineshackle tribe, out harvesting herbs. The beauty of both Nemenna and the flower made him boil...He swiftly struck his axe into Nemenna's head, leaving her unconcious. He raped this poor Goblin lady...Again and again...Until his heart collapsed. After a few day's out in the wilderness, a search party from the Spineshacklers found her. They thought she was dead, therefor they threw her into a small cave and laid the flower on top of her.

Who knows what kept the goblin lady alive the next six months. Maybe it was Oldra who felt pity for this sad goblin lady, maybe it was pure willpower. She was unconcious from the time she got raped and until she born HIM...The Northern Light, the Saviour of the Pleasant Orc.


Griitash
He was raised single handedly by his mother. Learning about the powers of nature, the power of herbs. He soon found the pleasures of mixing potions, and he was allways respected Nature for what it was. The downside of his potionmaking was that he found out how to make sweet wines and strong ale. From the age of 12 to the age of 30 he was constantly drunk...His mother loved her son so much so she couldnt teach him any better.
But Griitash also had a heart full of love. So he started to worship the two God's that felt natural for him to worship. Adron and Sirani.
The flower that caused his birth was his dearest posession. It was a Pink Lotus, only avaiable in the vicinity of the Doompeaks. He therefor never travelled far away from them.
But one day he did, and he soon found out that the Orc in him started to stirl.
Thats why he sometimes have bad manners...Call people bad things..Or even attacks those who threaten him...But all in all, Griitash is a friend you can trust..And a bloody good merchant...

  • Goblin Ikgar, messenger ob da Ronagan Renegades! Da clan nub trust hims nor da Renegades! We tink dey wutn use us orcs fer deir dirty work! We hab put him in prison after he tried to explain himself!
    Orcs nub whub become active in freeing Renegades leader Wolf! Orcs stay neutral!
    Dis nub beh our business!

X Da mighty warlord tested da fighting skills of all orcs! Orcs beh great warriors, listened to his command! He beh great warlord and stronger den tree Ogres! He hab exlained orcs how to become stronger!


X Clan hab decided to publish list on dis board! In dis list we writ down whub clan needs! In particular for sistag Kianna! She shoudl tell what she needs! Den Orcs whub collect whub she needs!


X Mighty Orc clan made raid! With da prayers of Kaza and Grakir, da horde wus successful! We took work bench from da hafly town! Hurrr, dis beh first step to prospering orc land!

Greetings, you pathetic pieces of slime.

Ive been told you have slain my friend and associate, Ikgar the goblin. Not only was this cowardly and pointless, but considering i allowed myself to be captured by the guard so two of your orcs could escape makes this one of the most spineless and stupid actions imaginable.

I demand a meeting with cheif Rugh and a satisfactory explanation.

A roughly written message, on a piece of leather is seen pinned on the board. It is written in a very bad form of the Common language.

To wulfy boy:

Wunfy boyo, we is hab no need to explain to yoos da clan's wise decisions, but just cus me know yoos, me tell yoos dat gobo Ikgar brought great disrespect to Father's might by desecrating his altar and attacking his priest. Thus by Father's endless will, my blade sawed slowly his head off his body and cut his flesh in many pieces, so that his soul is denied rest in the afterlife.

And nub.. yoo is denied the return of his carcass, becus Father, in His all-wisdom, has decided that gobo Ikgar has not finished paying for his sins in this life, so he will be brought back as a slave, until Father grants him redemption.

For the clan! For the Father!
