((Hey, great list! I'd firstly like to ask, or perhaps request, to talk about Braduk and Mokrag, as i'm not quite sure on what their position was, though I believe they did in fact become higher spirits, or at least from what i've heard. Send me a PM on the forums or in game and I would love to talk about this. Thanks!

Would the names and symbols for these spirits be common knowledge amongst all orcs?

[Ned Lud 1260]

I can't speak for the others, but I don't see a problem with orcs assuming common knowledge of these spirits. After all, what good is a list of spirits if it just sits on a forum not being used? Several of these spirits were once common knowledge, so it can be assumed their stories were spread around the bonfire. I wouldn't publish a list of them in-game or claim to know them all by heart, but if you have a few you'd like to implement into your role-play, I say go for it.

[Ilikefooddude 430]

Also, Braduk is a bit off. Firstly, it's spelt with one D. Secondly, I think it'd be cool if his description was changed to the following...
Braduk- Known as a great chieftain of his
clan and village, Braduk's sense of honor and loyalty were
unquestionable in his life, and keeps those who summons him onto the
right path. He is often the decider of whitewash shamans, severing those
who dishonor their race from their powers of shamanism and bringing
those back who have shown admirable Orcish qualities once again.

[Catarrh 720]

Can multiple spirits govern the same force/element, or is there only one spirit for each aspect of life? For example, is Arwa the only fertility spirit, or is she just like the most powerful of many fertility spirits?
