THE TRIALS OF HONOUR

[ThatDutchFellow 1147]

THE TRIALS OF HONOUR

Preamble;

I, Al-Uk Elder of Clan Yar, Voice of the Spirits, officially claim the title of Krimpgoth. Intendant on rooting out the Orcish souls trapped within Lesser husks I will stop at nothing to burn out the lesser blood in our Honorbound lands. I will go over mountains of Elven, Dwarven, and Human corpses to discover those select few who harbor the Soul of a Child of Krug.

 

 

To achieve this those seeking to join the honor-bound people will have to beset themselves upon a trial walk.  All Honoraries of yore are hereby recalled to the Lands of the Iron Horde to be either reaffirmed in their title or be demoted back to the name of Lesser.

The Trial of Rebirth;

 

 

Under the Faith of Ublulhar, the Spirit of New-Beginning and Rebirth, Honoraries to be are to surrender everything they once called their own, Sacrificing it to a shrine of their true father, Krug, Only when all ties to their former lives have been severed may a Lesser-Husk begin their transformation into a true Uruk-Hai.

 

 

The Trial of Time;

 

The next step will be to spend time with the Orcs within the capital for at least 4  years. This step ensures the descendant on the path understands the culture and gets to know his or her soon-to-be brethren. The descendant will not be seen as an honorary but as a guest. They will be respected by the Orcs as a guest during their stay. During these 12 weeks, the one on the path is expected to follow the culture of the Orcs, yet still need the permission to speak blah.

 

The Trial of Wisdom;

 

After having surrendered their former lives to the grace and mercy of the true sons and daughters of Krug the to-be Honorary will have to deepen themselves into the realm of the Spirits, The immortal deities the Orcish people follow and revere. Be this The Ancestral, Immortal or Elemental spirits matters not. To Complete this Trial the trial-walker must elect a patron-spirit, Visit their realm, and be able to educate people on them.

 

The Trial of Might;

 

After the Spiritual awakening of the Trial Walker comes the final trial, To truly be reborn a battle between two Honoraries will be held, One that will honor the ‘Might Makes Right’ culture the Urukhim have followed throughout the centuries. The Victor of this fight will be officially recognized as an honorary and a feast in their Honour will be held to celebrate the occasion where the now Honorary will take an oath before the then-ruling Rex of the Iron Horde. Swearing loyalty to their true father, Krug.

The Loser of the battle shall have to retreat and lick their wounds, 2 descendant weeks will be added onto their time as trial-walkers till they may again re-try their final trial to join the ranks of the Honorary.

 

 

 

Terms to remain an Honorary

 

Now a respected Citizen of the Iron Horde, The Honoraries are expected to follow the Laws, Codes, and Culture of Orcs. With that comes a strongly enforced set of rules lest the honorary risks whitewashing and the revoking of their place amongst the Sons and Daughters of Krug.

 

 

AZH

An Honorary is expected to live within the Capital lands of the Iron Horde, And with that amongst their true Brothers and Sisters, Alternatively, an Honorary is permitted to live amongst the people of one of its vassals. When an Honorary fails to do so they shall be declared whitewashed and hunted down by command of the Krimpgoth.

 

 

DUB

 

The Station of Honorary remains in effect for 5 Skygod months, after that an Honorary may elect to denounce it and return to the realm of the lesser. If one opts to go this path they may never again return to the Path of the True Urukim. Forever perceived as a Lesser spawn to the Rexdom. Should they elect to remain amongst their true Brothers and Sisters they shall have to reaffirm their oath to the then-ruling Rex to prolong their honorary ship for another 5 descendant months

 

 

GAHK

 

Honoraries are expected to follow the Orcish culture, and with that maintain the religious faith of the Spiritualist. Doing their utmost best to uphold the tenants of their elected patron spirit, Be they Ancestral, Immortal, or Elemental. 

 

The Codes of Krug are expected to be upheld above all else, If one’s patron spirit evokes dishonorable acts an honorary is expected to denounce this tenant and uphold their true father's will at all times.

 

 

FUTH

 

The living with, accepting of, Or utilizing of people and arts of the Bûrz is strictly prohibited. Any honorary caught in possession, or magically attuned with any of the tools of Iblees will be immediately stripped from their status and declared whitewash. Such a declaration shall go without forgiveness or chance of repentance.

Any to-be honoraries who have Bûrz artifacts or magic are to denounce and remove them from their lives before they are allowed to enter the Krimpgoth’s care. Refusal of this also results in immediate expulsion and hunting down of the individual by the Krimp-Hai’s forces.

 

 

ON THOSE OF THE PAST ༄

 

Continents move swiftly, and so does the goi. Many Orcs and honoraries alike lose their way, abandoned by their kind. If an ancient honorary appears from the desert sands, they will have to show proof of their name, clan, and previous virtues to show that they are truly of honor. It will be up to the Krimpgoth and Rex personally to allow them back within the goi.

 

If the name is unknown and the honorary has not been lost but is living within the concrete walls of the lesser kind, their honorary title is stripped, and they must perform these trials to regain their title.
