《History of the Orcs According to, The Beginning: Breath Of War》History of the Orcs - Laws of Lord Sezrath
Advertisement
With The Ward Council no more, the Shamans had the palace utterly destroyed and the Capital leveled to the ground with thunderbolts raining down from the sky to tear it's walls apart. Grozak declared that it was the will of Lord Sezrath that their people no longer live in such decadent comfort as it made them soft and weak. Instead all Orcs must sleep out in the open beneath the sky. This is but one of many changes that High Shaman Grozak began to implement all over Orkeylium. Changes that would end civilization in Orkeylium forever.
New Laws
- All Orcs are forbidden to live in houses. (Tents are the only exception).
- All Orcs must learn how to wield a weapon. (Gaining mastery over a weapon is the only way to advance within this new Orc Society. Guild of the Battleaxe, Guild of the Great Sword, Guild of the Hammer, Guild of the Mace, Guild of the spear. All these guilds within the Orc Camps have their own ranking system and jobs).
- All Orcas (female Orcs) must bear as many children as they can. (The most fertile Orcas are granted the title of Matron, if they are skilled in battle they are called Battle Matrons).
- The law of Duerza, if you have any disputes? You must settle this dispute in the pits with blood. (There are two types of Duerzas: warrior on warrior and clan on clan. A clan on clan challenge can only be called by a Shaman or a Warchief, this is usually done when a clan has dishonored Lord Sezrath's will. A warrior on warrior Duerza can be called at anytime, for no reason at all.)
- You must fight for your right to join a clan. (In the first days of the Shamans rule. Fifty Clans were created with the most loyal and fanatical followers of Lord Sezrath raised up to the rank of Warchief, and if they proved capable Warlord. All Orcs that had not fought beneath the banner of Lord Sezrath had to prove their worth in order to join a clan. No Orc could be allowed into a Clan without wetting his weapon in a Duerza battle.)

- Your clan is your family not those related by blood. (Blood ties proved to be a weakness, so Grozak had those ties destroyed, instead when a baby Orkin is born they are raised by Battle Matrons in clusters of sixty to eighty and taught to fight for every scrap of food they are given).
- All Orclings must be brought to the Shamans to be tested (This test was done to see if they had the ability to become Berserkers. If they did have the gift they would be given extra training to ensure they did not attack their own kind.)
- All Orcs must swear their hearts and souls to Lord Sezrath God of Death. (Any that refused were killed).
- Taken by blood. (If you want anything,you may take it by force). To be Continued.

Four story anthology
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.
