All lands belong to Gruumsh

Post by Grull » Sun Oct 16, 2022 4:19 pm

A savage roar blasted from the open doors of the temple. "ELLLVVES!" The clatter of arms and armor echoed throughout. The temple guards watched in silence as the Warshaman shared his rage with Gruumsh. "They steal the land from our care, they defy the natural order. All lands belong to Gruumsh. This is how it began, and so shall be how it ends!!!"

Grull climbed the steps to the temple roof, there he stood and surveyed Bur'zkal. It was quiet. The Orcs have gotten lazy agian. The young warchief, Zriker, had his own lessons to learn in distant lands, and had left Tribal issues to Grull. The puggy pits were shallow and the wargs were in less numbers. The war with the Shadow Clan had left the tribe drained.

The red mist in the hallowed eye socket of the Warshaman turned crimson and swirled in chaotic patterns.

"BURZ'KAL HEAR YOUR WARSHAMAN!" He stretched his arms over his head and towards the slowly gathering orcs.

"THE ELVES DARE TO TAKE OUR LANDS, GIVEN TO US BY GRUUMSH!!! THE OLDEST ENEMY HAS RENEWED THE ANCIENT FEUD IN THESE TIMES OF SHADOW!! LET IT BE KNOWN THAT WHEN YOU RIDE THE LANDS, THE ELVES ARE TO BE TAUGHT A LESSON. DO NOT TOLERATE THEIR WORDS. IF THEY DO NOT GIVE TRIBUTE FREELY, THEY WILL TRIBUTE IN BLOOD!!!"

The small gathering of orcs has now turned into the whole of Burz'kal. Slowly, a chant began in the horde."Tribute or blood...TRIBUTE OR BLOOD...TRIBUTE OR BLOOD!!!!!!!"

Grull joined them in their furious chant. He drew his knife and sliced his palm. Coating himself in blood, he began a dervish dance and howled,

"URUK!!! HONT OB BURZ'KAL!!! HONT OB GRUUMSH!!! WAR HAS BEGUN. WE SHALL FINISH IT!!!!

Grull gave one last roar to the gathered."GRUUUUUUUUUUUMSH!!!!" Tired, the aging war shaman walked his way toward his room in the temple. He settled in a chosen pile of furs and breathed slowly. That time was for the tribe...now it is time for Gruumsh. Grull reached over his furs to a plant he had been growing. Snapping off two light green colored leaves, he begin to chew them slowly. A green mist filled his vision. Grull stood before Gruumsh.
