KRUG THE GREAT

‘26 Krug, naked and unarmed, charged at the Daemon, throwing himself against the scalding scales of Iblees. 27 He screamed in agony as his skin burned and decayed, becoming green and molten.’
 
When Urguan fell to fear of leaving his people poor, Malin to leaving his small in number, and Horen to dying before he could lead his to greatness, only one man resisted the call of Iblees. Krug. The thirdborn was offered wealth, health, food, drink, power, strength, knowledge; he accepted none of it. No matter the offer, no matter the comfort, the third son of Man never faltered for even a moment. Such was his resistance, his stubbornness, his virtue, that it was his resistance that drove Iblees to the edge. It was Krug’s obstinate refusal that enraged Iblees so much that he could no longer hide his ways, pretend to be a helpful guide. It was Krug who forced the Denier’s hand, and forced him to reveal his terrible form. And indeed, it was Krug who first went blow to blow with him.
 
Krug, in his rage, his righteous indignation, charged the demon without even a weapon in hand. It was for this act of bravery that the orc was scarred, burnt, made molten; for his bravery he was marked forever apart from the other descendants. For Krug was the only and only descendant to try to take the Denier on, hand to hand, and this scar did he suffer for his virtue.
 
The other Brothers, inspired by his display, did, to their credit, join the fight. But only half-heartedly. Urguan fought, but also fell back to guard his riches. Malin took the Daemon on blade-to-blade, yet oftentimes retreated to his forests, to protect his kin. Horen fought with his Brothers too, but his weak and indecisive leadership led to many of his kind joining Iblees’ cause, voluntarily.
 
Krug, for his own part, fought with rage and anger. Anger at the Denier, certainly, but also at his Brothers. They had caused this mess, and now he pained and his people died to right their wrong. This was the grudge that led to his great sin, but who could blame him? Would any child of Horen have acted differently in such a scenario?
 
No, Krug, despite his misguided rage, fought valiantly until the end, as did all his children. And it was in recognition of this that the orcs were blessed with honour. The steadfastness of Krug has been, by the grace of God, enshrined in the heart of every orc. And, if this is not proof of God’s justice, nothing is.
 
Until St. Krug comes again, I conclude as your humble servant,
 
12 Thus the virtuous of other tribes are marching down from heaven, and the Skies are given over to the sons of Horen.
