ENTERING ORCISH SOCIETY: THE PATH TO HONORARY

[Panashea 2644]

 

THE PATH TO HONORARY

What does it mean to be an honorary? How does a non-orc enter the society of the orcish people? In the past, honorary meant little more than someone favored by orcish people. However, few have risen above their non-descendant origins and shaped the orcish people through their will and strength. Within the IRON'UZG, honoraries should be expected to do the same. The trials have been reformed, molded to fit the advancements in culture and pride the orcs have taken.

 

ELIGIBILITY:

1. Krugmar must be your main residence.
2. Must be recommended by an orc kin.
3. The Dominus must accept you into the Honorary process

FINAL TRIAL

 

The Dominus will assign the potential honorary to an orc who is involved in a role that the potential honorary seeks to fulfill within the Iron’Uzg.

Together this brother and the Dominus will formulate a final, unique trial for this individual.
