The Warnation

[Sultan 3953]

The War-Usg of the Uruks is led by the mighty Rex Mogroka'Gorkil. Krugmar is located to the east of The Cloud Temple of Asulon among the dunes of the deep desert. Bloodlust and an unforgiving environment has molded the orcs into a truly mighty race that values strength above all other traits. Spiritually the Shaman’s lead the ritualistic ways of the orcs. Whose mysticism thrives on tales of super-strength and unparalleled combat powers.

[Secret Lizard President 313]

Wonderful post Mogroka! I love how you've neatly compiled quite a bit of Orc information in this thread. Extremely informative and an uber clean format! It's sure to help out all the existing Orcs and new Orcs as well! Thank you.

- A Orc bowing to a warlord or other Orcs shall be executed

What's the thing against bowing anyway? Some cultures (notebly human) have done it as a greeting and/or sign of respect, but what's the orc feelings against it stem from?

- Speaking of orcs as men can get you beaten up or yelled at.

What's this mean?

- Pink skins, if you wish to enter orc lands, then you must pay a tribute to an Officer(VA) of the krughai. This only means that you may stay for two days(ingame)(30 minutes max) while on your current visit.

-Known clan enemies will not be left alone even after giving a tribute.

-Minimum acceptable tribute: 500 mina, or 30 food, or 5 ale, or 10 iron or your sword, or armor.

Also, this one. What about travelling traders? Mercenaries? People cutting through 'orc lands' on the way to their home in the wilds to the north? Are there going to be some common sense exemptions to these rules, or is every person ever entering expected to bring mountains of treasure.. er..tribute, for the orcs they encounter?

-If you have been of great assistance to a clan, you may eventually be named a friend (friend).

Friends are free to cross our lands at any time, without payment of a tribute. (They must get permission to enter inner sanjezal though.)

Previous deeds count? I think I remember you being there when me an' Arkensald brought a bakeryload of bread to Sanhar back in aegis. True, back then it was just us trying to help every nation prepare for the undead, but if it could work for me in asulon, might as well inquire...

Okay for the first one orcs don't bow because the other races,who are seen as weak, do it and it would make the orcs look weak

For the second thing it means always speak in urak blah

For the third thing there have been agreements in the past where someone has paid a lot of tribute in bulk and didn't have to pay every time they entered

And finally it depends on the Clan wargoth if past deeds concern them

-Do not cast ANY majuk on our lands.

((you spelled "magic" wrong, it orc it is spelled "mojo"))

[Dretus 14]

((you spelled "magic" wrong, it orc it is spelled "mojo"))

Most orcs call it majuk

[Blawharag 277]

Most orcs call it majuk

Wrong, the word is Mojo. Most Orcs call it Mojo. Because the proper word is Mojo. Additionally everything else you said is wrong, so let me correct you:

-Orc do not perceive bowing as weak for the reason you listed. It is weak simply because it is a sign of subservience, what other races do is irrelevant.

-"Speaking of Orcs as men will get you yelled at" does not mean "Use the blah at all times" these are two completely separate rules. The rule in question means that you should refer to an Orc and an Orc, not as a man/human.

[Garet867 36]

((on other words orcs don't like the other races and want to be separate from them. different is cool. go watch nigahiga's video on normal people and you will probably agree with me too.))

[racingbrother 226]

Mog, I have been educated IC. Would this not be acceptable due to you saying "Always speak in Orc tongue"?

[Sultan 3953]

Mog, I have been educated IC. Would this not be acceptable due to you saying "Always speak in Orc tongue"?

Heres were you go wrong, You say I have been educated, so I know common, Why is common considered an education?

I can tell you that Mogroka, and Blawharag for example, know perfect common, but they dont use it.

[Ned Lud 1260]

Ned Lud'Gorkil is fairly wise and educated as well, self-taught from 50 years of nomadic worldliness. The lore says that "nomads" are large, stupid brutes, but I don't go by that because "nomad" isn't a race, it's a way of life, same as shamanism. As a nomad, he was thrust into the world as a cub and forced to survive. He traveled many lands and killed many people for 50 years, and over time developed competency and near fluency in the common tongue.

Does he speak it? Rarely to almost never. In fact, he feels that the more he butchers his use of the common tongue, the better. It is enough to understand it. This is why he can read and write signs and books no problem. He's also capable of basic mathematics, although it's never been his strong point. He doesn't feel that these skills need to be enforced on other orcs though, because the War Uzg has survived for thousands of years without it.

Also, I just have to respond to this one:

What about travelling traders? Mercenaries? People cutting through 'orc lands' on the way to their home in the wilds to the north? Are there going to be some common sense exemptions to these rules, or is every person ever entering expected to bring mountains of treasure.. er..tribute, for the orcs they encounter?

Common sense is that you don't tread on orcish land without bringing tribute. Every person that wiggles a single pinky-toe on orcish land and is confronted will be expected to pay tribute, leave immediately the way they returned, or die, depending on how they respond to confrontation. Traveling traders should expect to pay tribute for sure. They're in the business of carrying goods and making money, so there's no excuse. Mercenaries? If there's anything orcs hate more than undead, it's filthy pale-skins that fight for money rather than honor. Mercenaries are trash in Lud's eyes, and should be in the eyes of any self-respecting orc. You're lucky if we even ask for tribute if we find out that you're a bloody merc. As for people cutting through, if they refuse to pay tribute, we cut them through.

I would like to note though, that with tribute, you should treat it just like a bandit robbery. Role-play through your situation, feel free to even bullshit us if you'd like, just don't get caught in a lie. Tribute should not be viewed as a cheap way to "get loot" but as an opportunity to role-play. So long as a trespasser has something useful to offer and responds in a way that doesn't show weakness or dishonor, I usually listen to what they have to say and go from there. It's not intended to be a "Minas or Die!" encounter.

[_pok_ 1768]

This is a great post for information regarding the nation. I added it to my signature along with a few other posts to help new people too.

[bungo 3965]

Normandor/Malinor are the same, so you can't be friendly with one and unfriendly with the other. ^^

Good Job on this though. :D

[Acornlad 206]

-Hey don't forget about me! Sakromn Nroca'Azog-

[Trazier 115]

Kind of wish my questions had garnered some kind of response, but I guess i'm not that important...

...i'll be sure to bring extra weapons on my trek through orc lands on the way to my home in the northern wilds, since it seems like every orc I encounter is going to demand 500+ minas, my gear, or all my food, none of which I intend to give up without a fight...

Traveling traders should expect to pay tribute for sure. They're in the business of carrying goods and making money, so there's no excuse.

What if all your potential customers decided instead it would be easier to rob you for 'tribute' because of some 'new orc rules' being bandied about? how 'bout that, eh? I was never one for much violence, but if that is going to be the new currency of trading in orc lands/travelling to my home in the north....SO BE IT!
