Chapter 3 by Trom1806 Trom1806

Which life path will you choose?

You decide to join a group of half-orcs who want to establish a settlement in the great forest of Delknar.

You want to leave the city in which you grew up.

The town of Ranelborg evokes nothing but disgust and disappointment. You feel disgust for the hypocritical residents of the city who often use the services of half-orc mercenaries to guard caravans, to protect borders, to guard buildings. But these facts do not prevent the majority of city residents, who have human, dwarven, half-elven origin, from despising and humiliating all half-orcs... And you included... Half-orcs are despised only because of their origin... Moreover, they are despised in an extremely vile way. .. After all, at the slightest need, these hypocrites resort to the help of strong half-orc warriors...

What about disappointment? Why do you feel it?

You feel disappointment not because you ever expected that society would accept you “with open arms”... No, you did not expect any “apotheosis of friendship and mutual love”...

You are disappointed because in the society of the city of Ranelborg you are doomed to remain almost at the bottom of the social pyramid, regardless of your actions... You can be honest or you can be a scoundrel, you can work in a minor position in the city guard or you can steal goods in the market square, you can guard caravans or you can fight in fist fights for the entertainment of rich onlookers. None of this matters. In any case, you will have a low social status. Because you are a half-orc. According to the laws of the Sacred Kingdom of Orlania, half-orcs cannot obtain the title of nobleman, half-orcs cannot own significant real estate, and half-orcs cannot hold any significant positions anywhere (even in the army, the highest available rank for a half-orc is the rank of sergeant).

So you decide to leave this city. You decide to leave the Sacred Kingdom of Orlania. You want to create your own destiny, you want to live ignoring unfair restrictions.

You remember that a couple of days ago you heard about a group of half-orc warriors who want to cross the border of the kingdom of Orlania and go east towards the vast expanses of forest to establish their own independent settlement. The area of these vast forests is called the "Great Forest of Delknar". It is through this forest that most orc troops pass when they go on their next predatory raid. But still, the Great Forest of Delknar is too large, even the orc tribes are not able to occupy it completely.

You remember in which particular tavern you heard information about this group of half-orc warriors.

You go to this tavern. What will you find there?
