Dominus Minto’Lur

A CALL FOR NEW YAZGURTAN

A new Yazgurtan is to be chosen soon which will embrace the new duties described later in this missive. Those that wish to embrace this position are to contact myself, Dominus Minto’Lur, or Rex Grommash about your interest in taking the title.

YAZGURTAN UPDATES

As the New Horde Orcder grows, so does our need to continue in expanding our ranks. Yazgurtan will be granted more responsibilities and duties outside of their previously known place within the Horde. Set forth here will be an updated list of all their responsibilities.

Yazgurtan has been and will remain to be akin to the head steward of the horde. The Yazgurtan will be expected to oversee taxes, vassals, and stalls within the horde; as well as help with any Rex approved construction. It is part of the Yazgurtan’s duties to ensure no unapproved construction or building happens, and as such will be given access to any and all important areas within the City (i.e. Gobbotown, Shomotown) to ensure the building standards of the city are upheld. Yazgurtan will also now serve as a primary overseer of the Horde’s vassals alongside the Dominus and Rex. They are to ensure our relations with our Vassals remain in good standing, and take care of any worries or issues that are not intended to be brought up at Klamor.

Yazgurtan will be a position appointed and decided by the Rex, although those that wish to challenge for the title may bring their case to the Rex for their decision on it. The Yazgutan has authority and is encouraged to acquire and maintain their own assistants to help them in their duties as they see fit.

LODGES OF THE NEW HORDE ORCDER

LODGES IN A NUTSHELL

Lodges are specialized guilds or organizations within The New Horde Orcder that focus on specific aspects of orcish culture and skills. These lodges serve as communities where individuals with shared interests and expertise can gather to learn, collaborate, and contribute to the overall strength of The Iron Horde. Each lodge typically has its own unique purpose and activities, catering to a diverse range of talents and passions.

ACADEMY OF ORCSEARCH & ORCHEMY

The Academy of Orcsearch and Orchemy is one of the most encompassing lodges within the Iron Horde. They focus upon the realms of medicine, science, alchemy, and various other intellectual pursuits. By contributing to this lodge you will be instrumental in shaping the intellectual legacy of the Iron Horde, collaborating with other like-minded peoples to contribute to the long-term prosperity of the nation.

Medicine and Healing

The research lodge will share its building with our medical facility. Medics and those who are dedicated to advancing their understanding of healing techniques, both spiritual and practical, contribute to the well-being of the Iron Horde's members.

Alchemy

Alchemists find a home within this research lodge. Here, they delve into the secrets of potion-making, crafting elixirs that possess healing properties, enhance capabilities, and offer strategic advantages on the battlefield.

Scientific Inquiry

Scholars and scientists are encouraged to explore the scientific wonders of the world. From studying flora, fauna, and the elements to delving into new and unique inventions of various kinds.

Boomclangers

The various clanks, clings, and booms resound from within this lodge’s building. Canonmakers, explosion enthusiasts, and various noises of oddities are frequent as tinkerers create and experiment on the best new thing since sliced bread.

A missive concerning more details and the future of the research lodge will be coming soon.

Current leaders to get involved:
Slith’Ungri (IGN _Helmet_)

Minto’Lur (IGN Hermit_Jack)

WARFORGE

The Warforge makes use of our public warforge and is focused on the art of blacksmithing and crafting of various other utilities. It is often that the Warforge is called for commissions to help in various ventures of the Horde. As members of this smithing lodge, individuals contribute to the creation of weapons, armor, and various tools that become the backbone of the Iron Horde's strength.

Seasoned blacksmiths serve as mentors, passing down traditional techniques and fostering the development of new and innovative methods. Members can hone their skills, from basic metalworking to the creation of intricate and wondrous weapons beyond just the mundane.

Current leaders to get involved:

Zabub’Lur (IGN Astrophysical)
Brunle (IGN Bigblu_42)
Minto’Lur (IGN Hermit_Jack)

THE HUNGRY HOWLER

The Hungry Howler within the Iron Horde is a communal tavern that embodies the spirit of fellowship and celebration. Unlike other lodges focused on specific crafts or skills, the Hungry Howler centers around creating an atmosphere of orcish culture, storytelling, and shared experiences.

Members of this lodge are expected to contribute to the ongoing development of the tavern's menu and coordinate various events. These efforts aim to solidify the Tavern Lodge's role as an entertainment center and social hub within the Horde. Being part of the tavern lodge comes with the responsibility of being representatives of the Horde’s culture to those visitors who wish to embrace us, even for just the moment.

Current leaders to get involved:
Twiggs (IGN rathat)
Cob’Lur (IGN Dellrosa)
Ghoraz’Vuhk (IGN Cactus_Tophat)
Minto’Lur (IGN Hermit_Jack)

THE BEASTSLAYERS

The Beastslayers hunting lodge stands as a haven for those who thrive in the untamed wilderness, a sanctuary for trackers, hunters, and tamers within the Iron Horde. As the sun sets over the horizon, members of the Hunting Lodge routinely embark on expeditions into the dense forests, rocky cliffs, and vast sacred deserts that surround the Iron Horde's stronghold.

A fundamental aspect of the Hunting Lodge is the active involvement of its members in scouting and pinpointing various degrees of animal activity. These skilled individuals not only lend their expertise to identify potential hunting grounds but also take on the responsibility of leading hunting groups into the wilderness. Additionally, a core element of their duties involves sharing their extensive knowledge of the diverse array of beasts with fellow lodge members. This knowledge exchange ensures that hunts are not only well-coordinated but also frequent, providing valuable resources and experiences for the broader Iron Horde community.

 SPIRIT LODGE  is expected to release a public missive soon.

THE DOMINUS DECLARATION - ON KRIMPGOTH AND KRUGHAI
Dominus Minto’Lur

ON KRIMPGOTH

Stagnation will never be tolerated within the Horde, and as such, a new Krimpgoth is to be called forth within the next year. Should one wish to fulfill this title, let your name be known to myself within the next 3 months, for a decision will be made between myself and the Rex for whom we deem fit.

As our numbers grow within the New Horde Orcder, so does a need for more of us to exemplify our ideals and culture as Uruks become more apparent. Many new orcs have come to join our ranks by right of their blood, many whitewashed orcs roam freely without followthrough, and many lessers have approached to follow the path of Honorary and leave behind their old lives entirely. 

With this, the Krimpgoth’s responsibilities will be expanded. As more orcs enter within our midst, many of whom have been raised or born in other lands, I am calling upon the role of Krimpgoth to help welcome in these new orcs. The Krimpgoth is to give them trials or lessons to help acclimate new orcs smoothly into our society, though only for those new orcs that they deem necessary or new orcs who wish to do so. This change is to build upon the past duties of Krimpgoth, in which they have historically worked in their duties to help relieve the Rex and Dominus. I have a document to highlight an example of this to give to those who are willing to step up into this role, though the Krimpgoth will have the power to change and adapt these as they see fit.

Whitewashes have also been an issue upon which more action is to be taken. For you to become whitewash is for you to directly backstab your own blood, to prove yourself as lesser amongst the continents, equal in worth to that of mere dirt. Those labeled whitewash, whether or not honorary, show no honor, no truth, and no loyalty. It will be the job of the Krimpgoth to spearhead the finding of these whitewashes. To work with the Krughai and others within the Horde at their discretion to carry out punishment, or, a second chance to integrate back into orcish society

Under the ruling of former Krimpgoth Grimruk’Lur, many changes were made and many old titles stripped to ensure its sacredness. The title of Honorary is to be upheld as a praised title and decision to not be taken lightly. While I encourage the new Krimpgoth to hold true to the trials dictated by Grimruk’Lur, they are welcome to change and adapt them as they see fit, as long as it stays in accordance with the values we have held unto them. 

As such, as Rex’s approval has already been granted, I would like to repeat here that the only Honoraries acknowledged by the Horde are the following:

Minto’Lur

Obok’Ugluk

Slith’Ungri

If your name is not listed here, then your title was wholly stripped many years ago now. If you are currently undergoing the trials to become Honorary, this bears no weighting upon you. Those that wish to regain their title of Honorary are to approach myself or the Krimpgoth, once they are appointed, to redo their trials from scratch. Should anyone knowingly claim Honorary status without being among those listed here, action WILL be taken upon you, with force, if deemed necessary.

ON KRUGHAI

Our Krughai is both strong and growing, having potential unforeseen in many decades. With Targoth Apek’Gorkil leading our military, is it clear our peoples have been a force to be reckoned with. 

However, with my recent appointment to Dominus, I call upon our Targoth to focus within ourselves more and to help develop the skills and strengths of our own. Stagnation in this area creates a road down which will weaken our peoples. I am calling for the Targoth to put in place a complete Krughai reform, to appoint those who he deems good leaders and warriors by his side, and help raise all our peoples to see their fullest potentials as warriors.
 

At the very least mana obelisks should be able to be destroyed in a heist. It's a bit powerful to have them specifically under RO/raid protection when other things aren't.

MINTO'LUR releases a loud huff as he becomes aware of the incident "Do they have nub honor? Zurely di zame onez dat wizh tu blah peace ahm nub di zame dat have done diz... zurely..."

Minto'lur lets out a hearty wheeze of laughter after reading over the missive, having just helped defeat an actual spawn of Iblees. "Clearly deze peoplez ahm deluzional."

Gorom flexes his large olog muscles in victory after having gotten lost carrying the anvil out of their city "GoRoM ZtRoNK YuB!"

"NUB WAE" a large olog booms out as he watches the boat flight.

Minto'Lur flaps out a page of the cactus weekly, cigar in hand to read through the recent news with intrigue.

"WAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH" a smol orc removes his ceremonial LUR banner from the outside of MCMINTOS, ready to come back with his banner or wrapped inside of it.

OOC, please read:

[!]Gorom feeling overwhelmed 

[!]Within the jungles of the horde a faceless jungle tribe makes its presence known! Across the jungles and deserts of the horde, they place this message for all to see.

Greetings fellow inhabitants of these sacred jungles and our neighbors in the Iron Horde,

It is with both trepidation and conviction that we emerge from the shadows to address a matter of great concern that has newly haunted our ancestral lands. We stand united under the banner of the Verdant Shadows, a combined people sworn to protect the harmony of this jungle we call home.

For the past couple years, we have observed the comings and goings of Gorom the Collector, a wanderer whose penchant for marking his travels with signs has brought discord to our sacred abode. We, the Verdant Shadows, believe it is time to shed light on the issues that have arisen from Gorom's actions, issues that threaten the very heart of our jungle community.

The olog known as Gorom, in his quest to commemorate his journeys, has knowingly paved the way for external forces to exploit our land. His signs, innocent as they may seem, act as beacons to bandits and those who seek to pillage and disrupt the tranquility of our homes. These invaders and bandits interpret his markings as invitations to prey upon our resources and people, leaving a trail of chaos in their wake. Though others may be ignorant, we see past his pitiful facade.

FOR THIS, WE WILL NOT STAND

To the Iron Horde: We, the Verdant Shadows, cannot stand idly by as our sacred home is desecrated. We seek to rectify this situation, to restore balance to our jungles. However, we are not without reason and understanding. Instead of acting first, we give an ultimatum of peace: 

1. We of the Verdant Shadows demand that all of Gorom’s Signs within the Iron Horde are broken, each piece turned to sawdust and spread across the jungle’s floors.
 

2. We of the Verdant Shadows demand Gorom to be handed over as prisoner, enslaved for his lifetime to atone for his transgressions.

Should this not be met within 2 years, we will come unto your lands and remove these signs ourselves, leaving destruction ten fold of what your olog has brought to us. Your walls will fall. Orcs will die. Gorom will be enslaved.

To all other nomads of the Jungles: The Verdant Shadows call upon all those who hold the jungle's well-being close to their hearts to join us in our quest for a harmonious resolution. Let our voices be heard, and may the jungles endure.

For all matters related to this ultimatum and the concerns presented, please direct your communications to Sylvan Keera, the appointed emissary of the Verdant Shadows. Sylvan Keera will serve as the primary contact for any discussions or inquiries.

[[OOC: To send a bird, IGN: Hermit_Jack or setup a time to RP, discord: hermitjack. Anyone within the horde is able to participate and contribute to the event's outcome!]]

In unity,
 

The Verdant Shadows

[!]A drawing of verdant eyes overlooking the jungles, the Verdant Shadow's Crest

A wide-eyed halfling orc reads over the missive in shock and awe!

"Ghoraza planz wub? Dark Zhomoz? Vitalizm? Bumba ahm Ghuun? Sharog ahm Gazhnakh? Borok... azzazzinated? AHM AKAAL REALLI BUURZ?! "

Truly, his mind was blown by the accusations, ripping it off the wall to go show others in his clan.

[!]Gorom finding his sign broken again

Gorom, a towering and simple-minded Olog, enjoyed his time with his kin in The Iron Horde. Every morning, he would painstakingly carve and paint a wooden sign declaring "GoRoM WuZ HeAr!" only to find it broken by mischievous hands or the elements by day's end. His dim eyes would reflect a mix of disappointment and confusion as he gathered the shattered pieces, his massive hands clumsily attempting to mend the damage.

Despite the constant setbacks, Gorom's spirit remained unbroken. With each failed attempt, his determination only seemed to grow stronger. On a fateful day, as the sun dipped behind the horizon, Gorom decided it would be his last stand. With a resolute gleam in his eyes, he carved a new sign, simpler than before, but bearing a profound message. The sign now read, "GorOM WuZn'T HEaR." each stroke etched with a mix of pride and sentimentality. He was sure this new message would dissuade those from tearing down his hard work.

As he placed the sign firmly into the ground, his heart swelled with a bittersweet mix of emotions. A sense of accomplishment washed over him, knowing that this time, his message would endure. Yet, a tinge of sadness lingered, for this marked the end of his persistent battle to maintain his humble presence in the village. With a final, determined nod, Gorom took a step back, gazing at his handiwork with a newfound sense of peace, as if silently imparting his simple wisdom and enduring spirit to all who would pass by.

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

If this creature has multiple subtypes, don’t forget to mention your character’s particular subtype here!

Physically, the Ologs stand out with their remarkable height, typically ranging from 8 to 10 feet, and a sturdy build that often leads to corpulence. Despite their significant physical strength, they are not impervious to harm and are equally susceptible to injuries from conventional weaponry. Ologs' slower movements, attributed to their substantial size, do not hinder their ability to perform tasks like running or wielding weapons, albeit at a comparatively slower pace.

An Olog with an adequate body fat percentage typically weighs around 500-650 pounds, while the slimmest Ologs can weigh as little as 400 pounds. Due to their tendency to overeat and be overfed, the average Olog can reach up to 920 pounds, but any weight beyond this threshold puts them at risk of severe health issues such as heatstroke, heart attacks, joint pain, and diabetes. This height and weight range applies to both male and female Ologs.

Mentally, the Ologs display emotional complexity but a limited capacity for advanced cognitive functions. Their thought processes are primarily focused on immediate physical needs, prioritizing activities such as procuring food or alleviating pain. Ologs exhibit a slower learning curve and commonly rely on others for sustenance and guidance, often becoming subservient to those providing for their basic necessities. Their interests typically revolve around fulfilling basic requirements, with independence often taking a backseat to maintaining contentment within their surroundings. As a result, their involvement in complex skills, magic usage, or romantic relationships is limited, emphasizing their primal nature and simplistic approach to life.

If this construct or creature has some form of aesthetic choice, can you describe how they look? 

Gorom is a 10ft yellow Olog weighing 800lbs. Many missing and crooked teeth accompany a tongue that rests flopped outside his mouth when at rest.
