Preserving Orcish History

[2samspan 241]

The Library of Dragur towered over the treeline, shimmering in the hot midday sun. Despite this picturesque view, the Library stood silent and completely empty, save for one dark red Uruk, fanning through a book on the history of Aegis.

 

"Come on, come on..." Vagud'Gorkil murmured under his breath, the fatigue of spending the night combing through the Library, trying to read up on early Orcish history. Dozens of books he had skimmed through, trying to find any references in any of the books in the Library. While he found a few nuggets here and there but there was nothing comprehensive enough to truly fulfill his needs. 

 

For the past month, the Elder had been going through nearly every library in the world, hearing the stories passed down by the truly old Orcs, but he felt there were so many gaps, so much lost knowledge. Not just in early Orcish history, but there seemed to be large gaps in the records throughout almost every period pre-Vailor. This frustrated Vagus to no end, and this frustration only grew as the fatigue of the past weeks grew and grew, until he slammed the book shut, forcefully shoved the book back in its place on the shelf and stormed out of the Library, his heavy footsteps disturbing the peaceful silence and reverberating throughout the building. Vagud vowed to things to himself. First, he would track down as much of this lost history as he could, to make sure that the acts of his ancestors would not be simply forgotten. And second, he would make sure that whatever history was still available would be safe and not lost. Once he returns to Krugmar, he would write a letter and circulate it to all the Orcs he could

Throm'ka, brothers and sisters,

 

I write to all of you asking for your help. It has come to my attention that, as time has gone by, we have lost countless pieces of Orcish history to the ages. While we have preserves much, we have simply lost too many of those who lives through or near these events to have the records of our history and heritage accurately and properly recorded. 

 

With our major connection to our ancestors, lutaumans, nearly extinct, I think it is time that we take steps to ensure that our ancestors will stay remembered, in both the good and bad things they have done. I refuse to let what has happened to our early history happen to our contemporary history. I will personally do all I can to track down this lost history, but I must ask all of you to send me records, bring me modern events that have happened that deserve to be saved and protected. Anything you can produce will be greatly appreciated.

 

Mirdautas vras,

 

Vagud Gorkil

 

((OOC: After combing through the old forum archives, I've realized that there were many very importanf RP posts that have been lost to the ages. I want to try and preserve as many Orcish RP posts as possible. Any truly important RP posts you know on the forums, please post them here so I can save them and make sure they are not lost on the inevitable purges on the archives))

"Bub'osh idea, brudda." He states, laying down before his friend and kinsman a large tome, bound in leather and relatively empty, "Put lats findings 'ere, brudda."

"Like the declarations of war, back when my dad was alive... Kulgarok's acts back in a day... The Red Warchief's life and death..." Murgosh'Raguk would list some.
