GARSEN WYNE RESTS AT HIS RANCH, THE ARRIVAL OF FIFTY MINAE BEING DELIVERED UPON HIS PORCH. THE GRIZZLED, OLD MAN SIMPLY LOOKS AT THE HORIZON AND SMILES; MEMORIES OF OLD.

The corpse of a familiar ‘ghuul, tied to a tree and starved dead with many lacerations upon his bare gut, is found along the road towards old Senntisten. To those that knew him, he was Falk Geldmeister. To those that didn’t, he was yet another damned soul. Upon his persons is a simple letter. A will: I, Falk Geldmeister, a resident and incumbent of no land, hereby declare this as my Last and Final will and publish it so: Since my immediate family have all but died or disappeared, unto my cousin Shimke-fun-Shimmel I bestow my fortune of exactly 87,950 mina in its entirety to be pledged to the continuation of the Hulphonite people, and to the establishment of a Hulphonite homeland; Were Lotte Baptiste alive, unto him I would have bestowed a portrait of myself, painted by the great artesian Sulayik I Spitzer. Since he no longer lives, this shall go to the Wynestein family; Were Alexander D’Aryn alive, unto him I would bestow an enamelled vase with a depiction of myself upon it. Since he is assumedly dead, this shall go to Garsen Wynestein coupled with the rest of the Geldmeister portrait collection, along with the titular honorific of ‘Lord of the Falkhome Manor.’ Additionally, he shall receive a final 50 mina payment for his life-long servitude. Signed, The Right Honourable, Falk Geldmeister, Highest and Most Grand Lord-Commander of the Jurian First Battalion Posted on behalf of Wud. ((I didn’t PK when @Joltastik killed me way back in my roadside village- it’s only courtesy))

What kind of ban are you appealing? Server Minecraft Usernames GodSaveSafrica Ban Reason Players Involved Me, _Lark_ By your own understanding, why are you banned? Repeatedly hurling insults towards the GM after said GM banned a whole raiding party because of a singular suspected hacker. I was upset because I saw literally 90% of my friends on the server be banned by one GM in a situation I thought to be handled improperly. In irony of this, I went forth to handle my reaction improperly and create a toxic enviroment and ruin the GM’s experience, with full understanding of my toxicity. Why should you be pardoned? I’ve been a very active player the last few years, and whilst that should not have any effect on my ban, it is notable that prior to this I’ve only been banned for more than 3 days once, and after that I have had a no rule-breaking streak. All in all, I’d like to improve the RP experience for not only the group of friends I belong in but the server as a whole. Furthermore, I am apologetic of my actions regarding this ban and wouldn’t like to see a singular slip-up end my time on this server. What will you do to prevent similar circumstances that led to your ban? I will try to be more calm and laid back, whilst also being much more inactive in /ooc and /msg chats, since it seems that’s where my problems come out the most. Discuss why you believe that following the Community Guidelines is important to promote a healthy community. It’s the basic moral code that I believe people on the server should live by, and even in out-of-server situations. I think the Community Guidelines are written to show how to play the server and/or interact with other players properly. However, I think it’s also needed to be said that these are guidelines. Not a forced leash that you will always be able to follow. Players, myself included, sometimes get out of hand and upset. The internet is an unfriendly and toxic area and has a toxic atmosphere. I think the community guidelines make the server we play on just that little bit more bearable.

DURBURZ-MAU-ULRAH A Raguk gladiator saluting towards the Rex in the blistering heat. SINCE THE DAWN OF ULRAH’S EXISTANCE AND THE MIGHTY ORK RESURGANCE, THE DWED OF THE COLD HAVE STOOD TRUE AND HONOURABLE. IT IS AN HONOUR TO HAVE AN ALLY SO LOYAL AND STANDFAST, YET IT IS AN HONOUR RARELY REPAID. FOR THIS, IN THE NAME BOTH OF LEYD AND THE PACT OF HAMMERS, CLAN RAGUK HEREBY SENDS OUT INVITATION TO BOTH ORK AND STOUT ALIKE TO COMPETE IN A MIGHTY TOURNEY IN SAN’KALA'S ARENA. “Ang Gund Griizh” OOC:

Bro this post is so special it deserves a gold star

“Da grayt RED prophet!? BAH!” A Red Ork grumbled. “Mi’z da greyt REDDEZT prophet.”

WARPAINT, JEWELRY AND TATTOOS ⚙-⚙-⚙ Jewelry and warpaint, to a Raguk, are as defining of their identity as the shade of their skin and the illusive Naakh-za-Barash. Whilst some warpaint or jewelry is arbitrary and there to boast combative acclaim or the possessors skillful craftsmanship, others hold spiritual or occult qualities. WARPAINT “Red makes lat go fasta’, itz been proved by da tunzantarz mi swear it!” It is customary for the Raguks to slather red-paint on their Myrzyms or their Battlewagons prior to a skirmish or battle. Superstition states that, in a similar fashion to their Bloodsteel weaponry, if the paint is made with blood and blessed by Gazigash, she will grant them a boon of immense speed. “Da blue gitz iz a danger’us lot.” In the Raguk culture, blue-paint is reserved for only the most brutal Redskins. It is said that those who are privileged enough to wear blue-paint have the blood of Baderkuk in them, from the days when Braduk and Raguk were joined as one. How much of this is true is up for debate. “Yella’ is da lukky colour ov looterz agh freebootas. . .” Raguks with an affinity for gold and all things shiny - usually goblins - may paint themselves yellow before a major battle to heighten their chances of finding themselves something of interest on the corpses of enemies. “Da blakka’, da choppia.” It is not uncommon to see glyphs painted in black along the edge of weaponry or siege equipment; or to see a Myrzym’s tusks coated entirely with black paint. This is because it is believed that black-paint makes weaponry all “da more choppia”, or more effective in combat. “Chrome - colour ov da flatted.” Aged Raguks who anticipate their death in battle may slather their face with chrome paint beforehand to make it damned clear to Kor that a Raguk is approaching the gates of the Stargush, in death. Similarly, deceased uruks are painted chrome for the same reason. The method to craft this chrome paint, however, is knowledge known only by the Yellers. JEWELRY Jewelry, in a similar fashion to warpaint, has sentimental and spiritual value to a Raguk if not for vanity. For example, it is not uncommon to see an elf-ear necklace to boast the amount of elves a Raguk has killed, or a piece of bone or a tooth from giant game. Sometimes this jewelry contains gold, silver or platinum; sometimes bloodsteel and other exotic metals like mage-gold; or strange gems and stones to give it a qualitative lustre. In a somewhat grizzly deviation, it is also not entirely uncommon for Raguks to take fingers, toes, tusks and ears from fallen kin to turn into amulets and charms, believing that the felled ork’s strength will transfer unto them.

THE RAGUK MOUNT | MYRZYM ⚙-⚙-⚙ CONTENTS: HISTORY USAGE APPEARANCE RITUALS HISTORY: “Lat nub gruk where our beasts hailed from? Come, sit, and mi will blah lat.” - Leydluk’Raguk the SKAHING Honourable, explaining the resurgence of their beasts. AS THE DRAG OF EXISTENCE FOR THE RAGUKIAN WARMACHINE GRUDGED FORTH, A WARMACHINE THAT WAS YET TO BE SATURATED WITH GOOD OIL, VARIOUS OTHER CLANS BEARING THEIR SYGILS OF KRUGMAR RECEIVED MOUNTS. TO THE BRADUKS, A GOLDEN RHINO WAS BESTOWED. TO THE UGLUKS, A BULL OF BEHEMOUTH PROPORTIONS. YET, THE PLAINS OF VAILOR BORE NO FRUIT FOR THE REDSKINNED SMITHS OF RAGUK. NONE KNOW EXACTLY OF WHICH CORNER THE MYRZYM WERE BIRTHED, FOR THE STORY IS ONE SHROUDED IN UNCERTAINTY AND MYTH. HOWEVER, IT IS RECORDED THAT A STRONG WARGOTH OF RAGUK VENTURED INTO THE UNBEARING WASTE WITH THE SUN UPON HIS BACK IN THE HUNT FOR A MOUNT OF THEIR OWN. AND TO THOSE OF RED SKIN, HE PROVIDED. REARING HIS HEAD ACROSS THE HORIZON WITH THOUSANDS OF CRIMSON SPECKS, ALL TRUMPETING THEIR CALL OF RETURN AND STOMPING THEIR FEET TO MARK THEIR HOME. RESEMBLING MUCH THE MAMMOTHS OF YONDER, THESE MYRZYM’S WERE SAID TO BE BROUGHT FORTH BY THE ALMIGHTY AND EVER MYSTERIOUS PANTHEON. THEIR RED SKIN AND MEAT CONJURED UP IN SACRED, SAVAGE RITUAL BY THE MOTHER OF RAGUK, GAZIGASH. THEIR TENACIOUS, FIRM FRAME BEAT INTO ONE OF MAGNIFICENCE BY THE LORD OF CHAINS, LEYD. THE VERY IRON OF THEIR BONES HEATED, TEMPERED AND FORGED WITHIN THE OVEN AND UPON THE ANVIL OF GAZIGASH. THIS WAS A CREATURE BUILT FOR CONFLICT, WAAAGH AND THE ETERNAL LABOUR OF THE WARMACHINE, OF WHICH HAD NOW BEEN SUBSEQUENTLY OILED. USAGE “Peep da size of diz zkah’a! Hurhur, da gorkil gitz nub gruk wub commin’.” - An unnamed Raguk shocktrooper discussing the previous clan war with Glottgut’Raguk USAGE IS ONE OF THE MOST CLOSELY PROTECTED ASPECTS OF THE MYRZYM, AS IT IS CRUCIAL TO THE CLAN’S SAFETY AND SUSTAINABILITY. FOR THIS REASON, AS MOST ROSTERS ARE DIVIDED, THE MYRZYM ARE SEPARATED WITHIN A DUO OF CATEGORIES, THAT OF WAAAGH-BEAST, AND THE LABOUR-BEAST. LABOUR-BEAST BLUNT AND CONCISE, THE NAME OF THE CATEGORY SPEAKS VOLUMES. THE SMALLER, WEAKER AND OBJECTIVELY WORSE BRED MYRZYM ARE SUBJECTED TO THIS ROLE TO PERFORM MINOR TASKS OF LABOUR. PROFESSIONALITY IS TO BE EXPECTED FROM THE HERDA AT ALL TIMES AS HE HANDLES THIS BEAST, FOR EVEN THOUGH THEIR RANK, THE MYRZYM OPERATING THIS ROLE SHOULD STILL MAINTAIN A LEVEL OF RESPECT. THE MOST FAMED LABOUR BEAST HAS BEEN GENTURZ, NAMED AFTER THE SPIRIT GENTHARUZ. WAAAGH-BEAST BLOOD, THE SEARING AND SCARRING OF FLESH, THE LOUD BOOMS OF RUNECANNONS AND THE STENCH OF URINE AND INTESTINES. THESE ARE ALL SENSES THAT THE WAAAGH-BEAST ARE TRAINED TO HANDLE. IT IS EXPECTED FOR THE BEAST TO ACT AT 100% FUNCTIONALITY AT ALL TIMES WITHIN A BATTLE, TO NOT REAR IT’S HEAD OR RETREAT. OTHERWISE, THE BEAST IS TO BE PUT DOWN. HOWEVER, THESE ARE STILL BEASTS OF LEYD. ANY ORK FOUND INJURING OR MUTTERING INSULTS OF THESE BEASTS WILL HAVE THEIR TONGUES OR HANDS REMOVED RESPECTIVELY. THE MOST FAMED WAAAGH-BEAST HAS BEEN TWIGGIKRUNCHA, THE STEED OF THE EQUALLY FAMED GRUBGOTH WUD’FUD’RAGUK. RITUALS “Leyd-flok myrzym lat, flokolgûl glogol!” - Krukleyd’Raguk granting permission onto a new wave of vanguard grunts to receive their beasts. YET, THIS TOOL WOULD NOT BE GRANTED UPON ALL WHO CHANTED KRUG AND YIELDED TUSKS BENEATH THEIR MAWS. THIS WAS A CREATURE MOLDED TO FIT MERELY A SINGULAR NICHE, THAT OF THE RAGUKS. AND FIT IT DID PERFECTLY. LABOUR-BEASTS FOR A MYRZYM TO BE SUBJECTED TO THE TITLE OF A LABOUR BEAST, IS NO DISHONORABLE FEAT, EVEN IF THE RANK IS BESTOWED ONTO THE PHYSICALLY WEAKER OF THE LITTER. TO THE MACHINE OF KRUGMAR, THE GRIND IS BUT ONE OF THE FEW COGS NEEDED TO STEAMROLL INTO GLORIOUS WAAAGH. IT CAN BE SAID, HOWEVER, THAT THESE MYRZYM GARNER LESS RESPECT FROM THE VANGUARD AS THEY DO NOT RISK THEIR LIVES, AND DO NOT SHED BLOOD IN THE NAME OF LEYD. THESE MYRZYM WOULD BE BEHESTED TO BEAR MINERALS OR MATERIALS. THESE MYRZYM DO NOT GARNER NAMES, SIMPLY NUMBERS TO CALL THEM BY. WAAAGH-BEASTS THE CRIMSON-BRED AND DECISIVE SOLDIERS PROPOSED A MANNER OF IMPROVING THEIR INDUSTRIOUS EFFICIENCY WHILST PROVIDING THE SPIRITS WITH TRIBALISTIC PRAISE. UPON EACH RAGUK BORN OR INTEGRATED WITHIN THE CLAN, THEY WOULD BE DOUSED IN ELFKIN BLOOD AND GIVEN A BEAST OF THEIR OWN. ONE WHICH WOULD MIMIC THEIR TUSKS AND WARRIOR FEROCITY. FROM HERE, THE RAGUK WOULD INDOCTRINATE HIS MYRZYM AND FORCE IT TO BE YIELD AND BECOME ONE. THE DUO WOULD GROW THEIR CHARACTER TOGETHER, CHARGE INTO THE FRENZY OF WAAAGH TOGETHER AND END LIFE ALONGSIDE EACHOTHER. AND WHEN GIVEN THE CHANCE OR WHEN THOUGHT SUITABLE, THE RAGUK WOULD NAME HIS BEAST, FOREVER CEMENTING THEIR LEGACY INTO THE BOOKS OF HISTORY. AND IN THE DEPRESSING EVENT THAT A WAAGH-BEAST’S LIFE COMES TO A CEASE, IT IS ASSURED THAT NOTHING OF THEIR EXISTENCE WOULD SURRENDER TO WASTE. THIS IS NOT A METAPHORICAL OR SYMBOLIC STATEMENT, AS THE RAGUK WARRIORS WOULD SAP THEIR BLOOD TO FORGE THE BEST OF BLOODSTEEL WEAPONS, BUTCHER THEIR MEAT TO PROVIDE CUISINE FOR KRUGMAR. EVEN THE BONES OF THE MYRZYM WOULD BE USEFUL TO SOME EXTENT. APPEARANCE “Do ya fhink da glint of gold or the texture of da tattoos will entrance our enemiz or bring fear onto them?” “Perhupz boffh” - Imp’Raguk and a nonsequencial ork discussing the Myrzym. EVEN THOUGH AESTHETICS IS NOT OF THE MACHINE’S IMPORTANCE, IT IS A LUXURY THAT THE RAGUKS CAN AFFORD, ESPECIALLY WHEN TAKING IN MIND THEIR OFTEN REGAL APPEARANCE. THIS INCLINATION TOWARDS BOISTERIORITY DOES NOT GRIND TO A HALT WHEN TALKING ABOUT THE ORKS, HOWEVER. OFTEN, THE NAME OF THE MYRZYM ARE ON MANY A PERSON’S LIPS WHEN SPEAKING OF LUXURIOUS APPEARANCE. YET, LIKELY THE MOST CONVERSED ABOUT MYRZYM IN PROSPECTS OF THEIR COSMETICAL VALUE HAS BEEN GAZGAZH, OF WHICH IT IS SAID GAZIGAZH HERSELF BESTOWED UPON THE BEAST WITH BLOODSTEEL ARMOR. MANY A RAGUK ENJOYS ADORNING THEIR WAAAGH-BEAST WITH TRADITIONAL OR OFTEN INDUSTRIOUS COSMETICS. SOME WOULD PREFER DESIGNING AND SMITHING A FINESSE GOLDEN HARNESS, WHILST OTHERS PREFER THE CRUDE, DESATURATED ARMOR IN ORDER TO PROTECT THEIR BEAST. HOWEVER, TATTOOS ARE ALSO A COMMON SIGHT. THE CREATIVITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL IS ESSENTIAL TO PRODUCE QUINTESSENTIAL BEASTS. "Ang Gund Griish."

ONCE MORE, THE KHLAAR OF LEYD PRAISES WITH GLEE, THE LORD OF DOMINANCE IS HAPPY. ”WAAAAAAAAAAAGH!”

INSIDE A CAVE WITHIN THE HOLDS OF SAN'KALA, NUMEROUS BOISTEROUS AND MYSTERIOUS CHANTS WOULD BE AUDIBLE. ”Az-Darûkûrz, diisum-albai, Lup-Leyd!”

EVER THOUGHT OF PLAYING. . . Probably not; but in similar fashion to the old “Make an Ork” week, I’d like to introduce you to the occult redskins and their industrious ways. What makes the Raguk’s unique in comparison to the other ork clans? Their inclination towards industry. . . Extensive player-forged history, with such notable figures as Hazurk’Raguk, Malgunuz’Raguk, Kharak’Raguk the World Destroyer, Grubgoth Wud’Raguk. . . Their manipulation of Bloodsteel. . . Their spiritual pantheon and alien methods of worship. . . Their unique system of glyphs. . . Their focus on discipline and uniformity. . . Their odd names and titular honorifics. . . Their mount - the Myrzym. . . Unique RP ‘professions’. . . And much more; with the prospect even to contribute to our lore tapestry. On top of this, we have our own custom-made discord bot that will help you in creating your character, along with dedicated skin-makers and Raguk / LoTC veterans to aid you on your journey!
