Come, sit, and mi will blah lat.” - Leydluk’Raguk the SKAHING Honourable, explaining the resurgence of their beasts. AS THE DRAG OF EXISTENCE FOR THE RAGUKIAN WARMACHINE GRUDGED FORTH, A WARMACHINE THAT WAS YET TO BE SATURATED WITH GOOD OIL, VARIOUS OTHER CLANS BEARING THEIR SYGILS OF KRUGMAR RECEIVED MOUNTS. TO THE BRADUKS, A GOLDEN RHINO WAS BESTOWED. TO THE UGLUKS, A BULL OF BEHEMOUTH PROPORTIONS. YET, THE PLAINS OF VAILOR BORE NO FRUIT FOR THE REDSKINNED SMITHS OF RAGUK. NONE KNOW EXACTLY OF WHICH CORNER THE MYRZYM WERE BIRTHED, FOR THE STORY IS ONE SHROUDED IN UNCERTAINTY AND MYTH. HOWEVER, IT IS RECORDED THAT A STRONG WARGOTH OF RAGUK VENTURED INTO THE UNBEARING WASTE WITH THE SUN UPON HIS BACK IN THE HUNT FOR A MOUNT OF THEIR OWN. AND TO THOSE OF RED SKIN, HE PROVIDED. REARING HIS HEAD ACROSS THE HORIZON WITH THOUSANDS OF CRIMSON SPECKS, ALL TRUMPETING THEIR CALL OF RETURN AND STOMPING THEIR FEET TO MARK THEIR HOME. RESEMBLING MUCH THE MAMMOTHS OF YONDER, THESE MYRZYM’S WERE SAID TO BE BROUGHT FORTH BY THE ALMIGHTY AND EVER MYSTERIOUS PANTHEON. THEIR RED SKIN AND MEAT CONJURED UP IN SACRED, SAVAGE RITUAL BY THE MOTHER OF RAGUK, GAZIGASH. THEIR TENACIOUS, FIRM FRAME BEAT INTO ONE OF MAGNIFICENCE BY THE LORD OF CHAINS, LEYD. THE VERY IRON OF THEIR BONES HEATED, TEMPERED AND FORGED WITHIN THE OVEN AND UPON THE ANVIL OF GAZIGASH. THIS WAS A CREATURE BUILT FOR CONFLICT, WAAAGH AND THE ETERNAL LABOUR OF THE WARMACHINE, OF WHICH HAD NOW BEEN SUBSEQUENTLY OILED. USAGE “Peep da size of diz zkah’a! Hurhur, da gorkil gitz nub gruk wub commin’.” - An unnamed Raguk shocktrooper discussing the previous clan war with Glottgut’Raguk USAGE IS ONE OF THE MOST CLOSELY PROTECTED ASPECTS OF THE MYRZYM, AS IT IS CRUCIAL TO THE CLAN’S SAFETY AND SUSTAINABILITY. FOR THIS REASON, AS MOST ROSTERS ARE DIVIDED, THE MYRZYM ARE SEPARATED WITHIN A DUO OF CATEGORIES, THAT OF WAAAGH-BEAST, AND THE LABOUR-BEAST. LABOUR-BEAST BLUNT AND CONCISE, THE NAME OF THE CATEGORY SPEAKS VOLUMES. THE SMALLER, WEAKER AND OBJECTIVELY WORSE BRED MYRZYM ARE SUBJECTED TO THIS ROLE TO PERFORM MINOR TASKS OF LABOUR. PROFESSIONALITY IS TO BE EXPECTED FROM THE HERDA AT ALL TIMES AS HE HANDLES THIS BEAST, FOR EVEN THOUGH THEIR RANK, THE MYRZYM OPERATING THIS ROLE SHOULD STILL MAINTAIN A LEVEL OF RESPECT. THE MOST FAMED LABOUR BEAST HAS BEEN GENTURZ, NAMED AFTER THE SPIRIT GENTHARUZ. WAAAGH-BEAST BLOOD, THE SEARING AND SCARRING OF FLESH, THE LOUD BOOMS OF RUNECANNONS AND THE STENCH OF URINE AND INTESTINES. THESE ARE ALL SENSES THAT THE WAAAGH-BEAST ARE TRAINED TO HANDLE. IT IS EXPECTED FOR THE BEAST TO ACT AT 100% FUNCTIONALITY AT ALL TIMES WITHIN A BATTLE, TO NOT REAR IT’S HEAD OR RETREAT. OTHERWISE, THE BEAST IS TO BE PUT DOWN. HOWEVER, THESE ARE STILL BEASTS OF LEYD. ANY ORK FOUND INJURING OR MUTTERING INSULTS OF THESE BEASTS WILL HAVE THEIR TONGUES OR HANDS REMOVED RESPECTIVELY. THE MOST FAMED WAAAGH-BEAST HAS BEEN TWIGGIKRUNCHA, THE STEED OF THE EQUALLY FAMED GRUBGOTH WUD’FUD’RAGUK. RITUALS “Leyd-flok myrzym lat, flokolgûl glogol!” - Krukleyd’Raguk granting permission onto a new wave of vanguard grunts to receive their beasts. YET, THIS TOOL WOULD NOT BE GRANTED UPON ALL WHO CHANTED KRUG AND YIELDED TUSKS BENEATH THEIR MAWS. THIS WAS A CREATURE MOLDED TO FIT MERELY A SINGULAR NICHE, THAT OF THE RAGUKS. AND FIT IT DID PERFECTLY. LABOUR-BEASTS FOR A MYRZYM TO BE SUBJECTED TO THE TITLE OF A LABOUR BEAST, IS NO DISHONORABLE FEAT, EVEN IF THE RANK IS BESTOWED ONTO THE PHYSICALLY WEAKER OF THE LITTER. TO THE MACHINE OF KRUGMAR, THE GRIND IS BUT ONE OF THE FEW COGS NEEDED TO STEAMROLL INTO GLORIOUS WAAAGH. IT CAN BE SAID, HOWEVER, THAT THESE MYRZYM GARNER LESS RESPECT FROM THE VANGUARD AS THEY DO NOT RISK THEIR LIVES, AND DO NOT SHED BLOOD IN THE NAME OF LEYD. THESE MYRZYM WOULD BE BEHESTED TO BEAR MINERALS OR MATERIALS. THESE MYRZYM DO NOT GARNER NAMES, SIMPLY NUMBERS TO CALL THEM BY. WAAAGH-BEASTS THE CRIMSON-BRED AND DECISIVE SOLDIERS PROPOSED A MANNER OF IMPROVING THEIR INDUSTRIOUS EFFICIENCY WHILST PROVIDING THE SPIRITS WITH TRIBALISTIC PRAISE. UPON EACH RAGUK BORN OR INTEGRATED WITHIN THE CLAN, THEY WOULD BE DOUSED IN ELFKIN BLOOD AND GIVEN A BEAST OF THEIR OWN. ONE WHICH WOULD MIMIC THEIR TUSKS AND WARRIOR FEROCITY. FROM HERE, THE RAGUK WOULD INDOCTRINATE HIS MYRZYM AND FORCE IT TO BE YIELD AND BECOME ONE. THE DUO WOULD GROW THEIR CHARACTER TOGETHER, CHARGE INTO THE FRENZY OF WAAAGH TOGETHER AND END LIFE ALONGSIDE EACHOTHER. AND WHEN GIVEN THE CHANCE OR WHEN THOUGHT SUITABLE, THE RAGUK WOULD NAME HIS BEAST, FOREVER CEMENTING THEIR LEGACY INTO THE BOOKS OF HISTORY. AND IN THE DEPRESSING EVENT THAT A WAAGH-BEAST’S LIFE COMES TO A CEASE, IT IS ASSURED THAT NOTHING OF THEIR EXISTENCE WOULD SURRENDER TO WASTE. THIS IS NOT A METAPHORICAL OR SYMBOLIC STATEMENT, AS THE RAGUK WARRIORS WOULD SAP THEIR BLOOD TO FORGE THE BEST OF BLOODSTEEL WEAPONS, BUTCHER THEIR MEAT TO PROVIDE CUISINE FOR KRUGMAR. EVEN THE BONES OF THE MYRZYM WOULD BE USEFUL TO SOME EXTENT. APPEARANCE “Do ya fhink da glint of gold or the texture of da tattoos will entrance our enemiz or bring fear onto them?” “Perhupz boffh” - Imp’Raguk and a nonsequencial ork discussing the Myrzym. EVEN THOUGH AESTHETICS IS NOT OF THE MACHINE’S IMPORTANCE, IT IS A LUXURY THAT THE RAGUKS CAN AFFORD, ESPECIALLY WHEN TAKING IN MIND THEIR OFTEN REGAL APPEARANCE. THIS INCLINATION TOWARDS BOISTERIORITY DOES NOT GRIND TO A HALT WHEN TALKING ABOUT THE ORKS, HOWEVER. OFTEN, THE NAME OF THE MYRZYM ARE ON MANY A PERSON’S LIPS WHEN SPEAKING OF LUXURIOUS APPEARANCE. YET, LIKELY THE MOST CONVERSED ABOUT MYRZYM IN PROSPECTS OF THEIR COSMETICAL VALUE HAS BEEN GAZGAZH, OF WHICH IT IS SAID GAZIGAZH HERSELF BESTOWED UPON THE BEAST WITH BLOODSTEEL ARMOR. MANY A RAGUK ENJOYS ADORNING THEIR WAAAGH-BEAST WITH TRADITIONAL OR OFTEN INDUSTRIOUS COSMETICS. SOME WOULD PREFER DESIGNING AND SMITHING A FINESSE GOLDEN HARNESS, WHILST OTHERS PREFER THE CRUDE, DESATURATED ARMOR IN ORDER TO PROTECT THEIR BEAST. HOWEVER, TATTOOS ARE ALSO A COMMON SIGHT. THE CREATIVITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL IS ESSENTIAL TO PRODUCE QUINTESSENTIAL BEASTS. "Ang Gund Griish." Edited October 18, 2018 by PraiseTheLord 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
