The Book of Beasts · MONSTER
Chapter 30
Orc
Tusked, slab-shouldered raiders who hold the Sered Spur in war-bands, taking what the stone will not give and pressing the smaller beast-folk off their warrens.
An orc stands a head over a tall man and twice as broad, grey-green and scarred, kept in line by the strongest fist in the hold. Their grunts garrison the spur caves; their warriors raid the roads; a warlord is a wall of muscle and iron that a lone traveller does not survive.
