 By Yanied Shalog Truth Bearer is a chieftain of the orc tribe Luk Targhn in the lower alpines area surrounding the Regis Range in eastern Premius. An avid worshiper of Igu-Rab-Ichi, Shalog is devoted to the ways of war. His signature weapon is called the Decimator (Rurgar-Akni in Orc), and is supposedly a blessed weapon designated for him by the god of war himself. It appears like a large, serrated bone greatsword. Not appearing in very advanced armor, Shalog boasts an impregnable aura of war fever that protects him even though he wears only hide. He cites this as proof of his allegiance to Igu-Rab-Ichi, and that the god protects him so long as he practices the ways of war. Per the god of war, Shalog is judicious in his use of force. Rather than wanton slaughter, Shalog engages in battles that can be won and organizes his tribe in less-than-haphazard hordes. |
