In LIR 140, in a remote land, surrounded by hostile races, a young boy was born. He was named Ghengis Oruto. He lived the life of a farmer until his seventh year, when his parents were murdered, by the King of the Orcs, one Urtak Eregus.
Vowing revenge, but unable to fulfill his oath, Ghengis traveled to the Arenas to learn the ways of the warrior. In the years following, Ghengis became masterful in the ways of the sword and bow, soon becoming renowned through out the land for his prowess.
One stormy day in his twenty eighth year, Ghengis was visited by a most unwelcome visitor. Urtak Eregus, the murderer of his parents, had found him. But the orc king was wounded, dieing. He spoke of horrible beasts, unstoppable hordes, and the creeping death.
Tempted to beat the truth out of the wounded and dieing Orc, Ghengis fought back his rage, and fury, and listened to the story.
The Orc spoke of the Undead Horde. That the creeping death had reached the land. The orc appealed to Ghengis for his help, Saying that only unity would be the harbinger of the fall of the Undead Horde.
Can Ghengis put aside his hatred, wrath, distrust, and most of all his vow to kill the Orc King long enough to save his land? To unify with the Orcs?
