New Great Spirits Uncovered

New Great Spirits Uncovered

It has been mere months since the tribe has reformed into the mighty Red Blade clan and has found guardians to be watching over them once again. What they did not know, however, was that there are more patrons watching over the clan, some even new to the pantheon of Akashok himself. In recent discoveries, the Thur’ruk of the clan have been digging deep into the lore of the clan and have uncovered a few more of those guardians of the Red Blade. Due to their discovery, they have started to work their ways into the dreams of the orcs, to let themselves be known to the clan and that they are watching over them.



Ukwa Ukwa
Ukwa Ukwa has always been on the background of the first litter of Akashok and Akala. He has always been eager to impress the rest of the pack yet never found himself capable of actually doing so, whether this was due to his bad luck, or simply because he seems incapable of doing anything that would be described as simple to a normal orc, has not actually been described. Some encounter this revered spirit whilst he is listening to the rocks below, stating that he can hear what the smallest of pebbles has to say. It is because of this, that he is also known as “Pebblespeaker”. No matter how they encounter him, he is always too fast for his own good, often tripping on his own legs and causing him to assume an almost groveling appearance as he face-plants in front of his summoners.


Brambleson
Back when the universe was still young, the spirits gave birth to noble creatures to defend against the cinders of wrathful, dark energies. These were beings created as vigilant soldiers, blessed with speed, keen senses, and valour beyond measure. These were the rabbits. They stood firm against the evil remnants of what came before... all but one rabbit, that is. That is Brambleson, chief of all Rabbits. As he threw his subjects into glorious battle, he could only cower and covet their heroism. When the endless darkness came, it was simply too strong, only the combined force of all the rabbits could stand against it. So Brambleson asked for his subjects to lend him their courage. Reluctantly in the face of danger, they did. When Brambleson faced this evil, he was scared beyond belief and ran off like he always did before, leaving all the rabbits without any of their bravery; scared of their own shadow. Akashok took pity on this creature and allowed him into his pack.
As a patron of the clan, Brambleson represents the fleet footed. When called upon, he comes only after a long while when he knows he is safe, asking the summoner to whisper instead of calling, for it might reveal his location.


The Elder One
Contrary to popular belief, the name of the Elder One is not associated with any sort of cult. Unless the reverence that the clan upholds is counted among that of a cult, in which case it is. The Elder One is named more so because of her actual state of being. Another name that she goes by is Tevaga. Just like Brambleson, this one does not hold the privilege of being a wolf within the pantheon of Akashok. This sloth represents the calm that resides within everyone. Unlike the rest, she does not actually show herself too quickly to the rest of the clan as she is often too busy sleeping or hanging in trees, undisturbed by anything happening around her. She preaches that her followers should take at least 12 hours of relaxation for too much exertion would lead to the quick withering of the husks that are their bodies.


Hakak
Hakak has only been a recent addition to the pantheon itself. As youngest member of the pantheon, Hakak has done well for himself in taking over more domains within this religious group. When the mists had gone and the island been made visible, Hakak had left the land they call Pandaria. Being a mixture of a black bear and a white bear, this was no place for him. They all called him terrible names, such as “Fatty”, “Blackeye”, and “Panda”. Little did the rest know that he is actually a panda bear. Born with insatiable hunger, Hakak eats everything that is laying around or things that don’t have roots that run too deep. He ever wanders the earth, looking to quench his appetite. He has even gone so far as to eat other spirits of the pantheon, relinquishing their domains and becoming the patron of theirs as well. The only reason no one speaks up to him, is that they are afraid that they might be next and enter his gullet. He preaches that his followers seek out to taste at least everything in life, that way they are able to recognise everything simply from the taste. Even poison... or so they say. There hasn’t been anyone that can actually confirm the last part, probably because they all perished from the excessive poison intake.


Thanks go to Kogra Windwatcher for sharing these discoveries with us!
