There is fear and hatred in your eyes. To you I am a monster, a skulker in the shadows, a fiend to scare your children with. A creature to be hunted down and slaughtered like a beast in the fields. It is time you pay heed to the beast. And see the beast in yourself. I have your fear. But I have earned your respect. Maras-Dantia was our home, and home to the dwarves, elves and all the other old races long before your kind spilled into our lives. Long before you ate our magic and raped the soul of our world. Hear my story. Feel the flow of my blood and be thankful. Thankful that it was me, not you, who bore the sword. Thankful to the orcs, born to fight, destined to win peace for all'. Stan Nicholls has created a new fantasy world full of wonders and on the brink of disaster.
