We Belong to the Spirits

In the dead of the night after  the Rex's speech, posters are put up in front of the shrines in the Uzg. They are also placed in the Cloud Temple.

 

It is greatly disheartening to see the blind nationalism of the Orcish people has over taken their faith. It has not just taken over, it has outright placed your own ideals above those of your very gods. It was my honest hope and expectation that the Orcish people would be better than this. I thought that any true Spirit-fearing Orc would rejoice at the chance to teach our cousins the one true way, instead of purposefully preventing the faith from flourishing, as the Spirits desire. It saddens me to see I was wrong.

 

But the rallying cry of "The Spirits belong to the Orcs" does not sadden me. It angers me. For what kind of arrogant, ignorant, selfish race would cry out that their gods belong to them? You claim to own the very Spirits? The very world? And yet I am the 'heretic'? These are our living idols you speak of owning, they are not yours, they never have been and they never will be, and it is those who state otherwise who are the true heretics. The Spirits themselves would laugh at such claims if they were not so deeply insulted. The Spirits do not belong to you, or anyone.

 

It is our duty as their servants and their followers to proselytise the world. It is not the place of any mortal to say who is worthy to learn of the Spirits, who is worthy to enact their will, and who is not. It is our place only to do as the Spirits desire. And the Spirits desire their faith to spread, for the world to know of them. What self-respecting set of deities would not?

 

To invoke the name of Krug in this hatred of the Spirits is to spit on his name. Krug was the greatest of any of us, Orc or otherwise. He placed the Spirits above all, like I do. And he weeps to see that his children have placed xenophobia above their faith in the almighty Spirits. 

 

I do not do this to destroy our heritage, or on Orcish culture. I am spreading the true foundation of our people's society, faith in the Spirits. Those who do not see this as a good thing clearly do not know the will of the Spirits or the words of Krug, much less respect them. Those who claim ownership of the Spirits cannot truly worship them, for they place themselves above the Spirits. They clearly do not know that it is we who belong to the Spirits.

An obese fe-uruk with horned rimmed glasses and brightly dyed hair cheers along at the accusations of xenophobia. "Da Rex iz ah Biggoht!"

Eath'Lur procclaims his support to the heretic Buubztik

 

"One cannot chain the spirits or own the spirits. A shaman does not owns a spirit, but serves him; a shaman of true orcish blood is to tell his brothers of the words of the most powerful beings. There is no harm of telling people of the spirits. Orgon himself could use people to spread the plague, people could sacrifice to the spirits. I doubt this would make them angry, but rather, more pleased. Do not be blinded."

Nyx would note the poster's presence and copy down a name into her lists of names.

A note is pinned to one of the posters.

(blah)

"Stranger, I encourage you to speak with me. Your cause is just and I disagree with the blind hate of the orcs towards an initiative as such. I wish to talk. Merely this.. and nothing more." The letter is signed with the words ~ the old orc ~

"And when the very Shamanism we have nurtured with faith is turned against us by those that seek its power and reject it's culture, what would you have us do? There are far more examples of non-Orcs twisting Shamanism and the spirits themselves for objectives which are otherwise against the faith. Should reverence of the spirits spread to the lesser races? Yes. Should the power given by the spirits by their grace be in the hands of the lesser races? Never again. As an Orc, posting these pathetic pieces of papers are below you, should you be a true Orc. I do not care who you are, I think you are misguided and deluded rather than the pinkeh word heretic. On your honor and on the spirits, I challenge you to a Klomp. Let our strength be the deciding factor in this conflict of morals as it has been since the days of Krug. Do not waver.

- Gorbad'Gorkil"

Lukra proclaims to any around after she reads a copy of the note in San'Thraka.

 

"Da zpread ub Zpirid Knowledge tu da widur wurld am bubhozh, yub. Bud zhomo mojo am da domain ub da Urukz agh hunurariez hu liv in da Uzg - we alown, fur zenturiez, hav been da zervantz uv da Zpiridz. Da maztur ub da Zpiridz am Krug, agh we am da inheriturz uv hiz greatnezz. Da will ub da Uzg am da will ub almighteh Krug. Tu teech weaklingz owtzyd da Uzg ub owur mozt bubhozh agh zakred mojo, fur dem tu yuuz lyk dey wuld their foul burz mojoz ur tamperin droodizm... dat am wrong!

 

Iv zum twiggeh, zhara ur ztowt wuntz tu learn ub da Zpiridz, da true powur in diz world, led dem. Bud iv dey wunt tu bekum zhomoz? Dey muzt firzt gruk wub id iz tu be Uruk befur taykin ohn zumthing zu tied tu owur peepul!"

 

((Translation:))

The spread of Spirit Knowledge to the wider world is great, yes. But Shaman power is the domain of the Orcs and Honouraries who live in the Uzg - we alone for centuries, have been the servants of the Spirits. The master of the Spirits is Krug, and we are the inheritors of his greatness. The will of the Uzg is the will of almighty Krug. To teach weaklings outside the Uzg of our greatest and most sacred power, for them to use like they would their black magics or tampering druidism... that is wrong!

 

If some elf, human or dwarf wants to learn of the Spirids, the true power in this world, let them. But if they want to become shamans? They must first know what it is to be Orc before taking something so tied to our people!

A sheet of papyrus is attached to the notice.
