Nagrand

[Norv]

[a letter written on a very rough wooden scroll]

Orcs,
the tribe has gone through a time of challenges for quite a while now, and by the sound of the last talks with the Alliance, and their attack tonight, that was not the end. We have had our share of battles on behalf of the Covenant, or defending our land. We even had squabbles among each other, wierd voices in our heads, and masks mysteries on our minds! To all these, should I add the too many goblin "surprises" that some of us felt too well during the Winter Veil, affecting orcs in ways that ... this scroll cannot bear mentioning.

It is time to remember who we are.
It is time to regain strenght for what it is to come.
Therefore, we shall meet in the place of our ancestors, in Nagrand, starting Sunday, the 18th, and settle down in Garadar. We shall stay there for as long as necessary for each orc! Please bring whatever you need for a longer stay, including your own mead, to avoid having the locals supplies running too low, while for shelter and food I am certain we will find the Mag'har hospitable enough.

I look forward to seeing you orcs there, and I will try to make sure that during our stay we will have occasions to honor our ancestors in this sacred place and find new strenght when doing so. I definitely will try.

Stay safe,
Norviskrall
Thur'Ruk of the Tribe.

[another scroll, as rough as the first, and even less readable here or there]

Chieftain,
I hope my letter finds you well.

You probably know I have called the orcs to come and settle down in Nagrand. I hope that we shall use this time to share stories of old times and perform the rituals of our ancestors, among others, and that we will emerge better prepared for whatever the future holds for us.

But even as I write, I know that the Alliance is too paranoid to stay calm even for a while.  Though I cannot really imagine they could possibly interfere with orcs in our very homeplace, I do not know what to expect either. I am certain however that you may have an idea about them, and I am hoping that you will not find this settling too inappropriate for what plans you may have for them. Whatever may be the case, I am certain that you will find a way.

[the letter continues with a couple of heavily strikethrough words, unreadable]

I regret so much to send you this letter with a horrible look, but these taurens in Bloodhoof Village barely had this one scroll left.
I must warn you, even though you probably know, that I may not be [an unreadable word] or in a good shape myself lately and perhaps the best I can do is done even slower than the usual, which, well, you are not the first to say it is a bit slow comparing to normal orcs reactions. Though of course I would prefer it that way than to risk hurting her [another unreadable word].
Anyway, that is just one more reason why I would be most grateful if you could allow me to make the Rite of Vision myself, as we get in Nagrand. It should allow the spirits to show clearly what my Path is and of course, which, you see, which my real weaknesses are. I am certain that whatever its result will be, it would be better if we know, than if we do not know. And I suppose that for yourself and for the orcs, it may finally show whether this, as I said, bad shape, is there to stay or well, is temporary or what it is.
I do not need to explain the relevance of it, of course, as even Osan put it so well when he said that "we may need to go wolf hunting!"...

Please stay safe,
Norviskrall
Thur'Ruk of the Tribe

P.S.
I not would try to worry the orcs about it even more than they already are, I am sending this for you to know, that is all.

*but as he finishes and melts down quickly in his wolf form again, he sends the letter in the same package as the first, without realizing it's for the whole tribe to get...*

(( So! I'm proposing another RP Focus: Nagrand.
Please take a look at the RP Focus thread explaining that idea more throughfully. It will start Sunday the 18th, with a Journey to Nagrand. Please feel free to ask whatever questions you may have about it, the point of it is for orcs to take advantage of it, not to let it slip by unknown!
