Narthok 9213 Share Posted February 27 3rd Hordespeaker Decree to the Hands of the Horde “Orcgrimmar home of the Urukhim. Greatest Shrine of the Spirits. Divided into three parts: The town itself, the oasis and the vicious sands.” THE PROLOGUE The Reforms of the Horde have found great success. There is peace and law in the lands of the Urukhim. The children are fed, and the clans do not suffer from raids or plague. The desert hardens our people, yet the oases are lush with game and provides endless water to the families. The Lodges busy themselves with their industrious tasks. The Spirit Lodge, peopled by the wisest and most learned of the speakers of the Spirits, waxes magnificently. As new shrines and temples are created, many flock to the Path. The great fortresses of the Horde and her many allies rise proud and unbroken. Despite the horrors of the War of Ten the families have begun to recover. The holes in the families are slowly being filled by a new generation of young warriors. Even the dividing the governing of the Horde into the hands. The right, bearer of quill, of hoe, of hammer, the productive hand. The hand that feeds, builds, provides, creates. The Goths of the right hand, under the supervision of the Dominus, have achieved great things. During the Great War, the Rukahai famously produced mountains of arms and armour despite the less developed nature of the Horde at the time. Then, the left, bearer of shield, travel pack, and foreign gifts, the protective hand. The hand that shields explores, and speaks to foreigners. The Goths of the left hand, under the supervision of the Vizier have achieved great things. The warriors of the Krughai took many heads during the war despite the overwhelming numbers of the enemy. Finally, the unaligned. The Motsham, the Keshigoth, the Krimpgoth. Each answerable directly to the Rex, much has changed within each of their respective dominions. But it is insufficient that we achieve; it is not enough that we do ‘good’, more is demanded of us. In light of the success of the reforms and of the effort of the Goths the Horde shall begin to look to the future as we have never done before. “They spoke of tribal war, of a gathering of vultures in the southeast, and a terrible leader who led his swiftly increasing hordes to victory.” THE TABLES I. THE RIGHT HAND II. THE LEFT HAND III. THE UNALIGNED IV. THE GREAT CULTURAL REVOLUTION “Let milk and honey flow, let the children play in the azure depths of the Oasis.

"They will trade their freedom for harps and lutes, Discard the bow and the dart; They will build a prison of satin and gold. And call it culture and art" THE GREAT CULTURAL REVOLUTION The REX, Speaker of the Horde, Master of the Desert, Defender of the Shrines and Temples has the following words for the tribes of the Horde and for their allies in the South. The time has come for the flowering of the Horde and the Spirits. We have laboured long and have built strong foundations of stone and honour. There are none who question the reliability of the oath of the Horde, all know that we shall fight to the death before breaking our word. For what is honour if it is only involved in times of warmth and plenty. We stand now in such a time. We have peace amongst the tribes. The families do not raid each other for food or for water. Our enemies encroach upon our lands. Yet they fear the Urukhim and cloak themselves in a thousand alliances in fear of our reprisals. So the REX declares the beginning of the GREAT CULTURAL REVOLUTION. The Horde shall look to the future, it shall spread the truth of the spirits, particularly with the assistance of the many members of the Spirit Lodge. It shall put the children of the fallen one to the sword. It shall build great monuments to glorify the spirits and the ancestors. And it shall bind the peoples and the tribes of the Horde by the Great Law. The first steps of this plan have been taken with the Rex’s missives to the Goths. More shall come in the coming years. “Bring me my axe and my quill. Let the spirits know glory. Let the Horde do the will of our masters. Let the children of the fallen one know terror” 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
