“…and as you alls know, we’s de hardest in de Black Horde and dat is why we gets de biggest spoils. Dat is hows we stays on tops. Because I keeps ‘em as true kult.”
That’s Gaahlskagg, the chieftain of Clan Black Metal, the leader of the Black Horde’s vanguard. His clan is the reason why Overlord’s army bears that name, for it is their black armour the first and the last thing most enemies see. He is brutal to the core, more than any other orc you know, but he can be surprisingly elegant at times. Though he is arrogant, elitist and often intolerant to boot, Gaahlskagg is someone best kept on your side. It seems he’s behaving as usual, trying to assert dominance over other clans.
“Baby, baby, baby! Don’ be spoilin’ this party. Yeah, your boyz get th’ most from ass-kickin’s, but mine are paid most. Y’ know, cuz we can do more than growlin’. Why don’ ya take sumtin’ fo’ your temper? I can hook ya up with a goblin I know. Is all in good fun, innit? An’ when are you goin’ t’ tell me where you get that shade ov black?”
And that is Giuffria, the most perfect creature in the worl – er, you mean, the chieftain of Clan White Tiger, the most loyal of the chieftains as far as you know. Her clan is a bit different from others as they act more like mercenaries than minions and some say they have more fashion sense than any other clan. They do look pretty good, that’s for certain, especially Giuffria. And you’ve had a crush on her since forever, but you’re not enough of an alpha orc to WHY ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT THESE THINGS RIGHT NOW, YOU HAVE JOBS TO DO!
“Buncha sellouts, I don’ know why’z I ev’n ‘ere wiv ya gobshitez when I knowz ‘ow dis endz evvy stinkin’ toime. Mouthin’ ‘bout bleedin’ dosh. Ya cheeky gitz don’ know wot’z all dis blimey evil an’ doom stuff ‘bout anymore!”
Ugh, Cro’Mags, chieftain of Clan Broken Bones. The most toxic orc you’ve met and he thinks that if you obey orders and don’t get into fights with other minions, you sold yourself out to the Big Boss. As if greed is bad for an orc. He is anarchistic and pissed at about everything, though you can sometimes understand his frustrations since his clan has been dwindling due to constant infighting since older Bones hate the younger and vice-versa. Basically, the clan is dead; it’s just that some of them don’t know it yet. Master keeps them around since they’re wildcards and at times turn battles around, but his Black Knights had to put down several riots caused by this clan over the years.
“Oi, now, we’re all orcs ‘ere, we don’t need to get bloody rude if it’s a foight you want. How about in the evening by the watering hole? You bring your best boys, I bring mine, and then we bloody your noses proper-like.”
And Hagarroth, chieftain of Clan Hard Rock, and in a way, the moderate of this bunch. He and his are generally nice to be around and they don’t tease you as much about your size like the others do. They’re also the best warg riders in this corner of the world and as long as the Dark Lord lets them roam around and do some marauding, they don’t make much of a fuss. And for some reason, their favourite targets are elven herbalists – being an elf is a reason enough you admit, but why herbalists?
So far, it seems that this is just an amiable get-together and all of the chieftains act like themselves. Weird, even unlikely given their clashing attitudes, but not entirely impossible. Maybe you should listen in a bit more before deciding what to do next?
