A warrior of arcane might, with a keen mind, and a powerful body. They have no hearts (their blood is pumped through the natural contraction of their veins), no lungs (oxygen is absorbed through their skin) and no brains (their brain cells are scattered throughout their body), and powerful magic empowering runes engraved into their iron laced bones. Because of these modifications, they are magical prodigies. Created by Cawcuss, a former orc mage whose studies and attempts to modify orcs, often with gruesome results, resulted in Gruumsh disowning them and stripping them of their orcish nature. Now a raceless being, Cawcuss renamed herself and the kin she created to the anchors, and seeks to conquer the orcs that abandoned her and prove herself to the gods.
