Short STORY
Although this orc seems to be at the peak of his strength, he is a veteran of many campaigns against the kings of humans.
Time has shrouded those days in its fog of past events, and many of his fellow warriors did not return from the places Goooz visited.
Goooz, that mighty orc who will be the bane of every creature with a brain larger than a coin-pouch.
Not that he is truly evil; it's just not wise to cross him.
In recent years he has become the acknowledged trafficker of the southern path. Crossing such hostile territory with increasingly valuable goods requires courage, and only rarely is such a journey completed without a few broken bones. Goooz was a truly adept fighter. The travelers of the caravans can attest to this.
Once he fought off a pack of five sand-trolls alone, armed only with a rock he picked off the ground; another time he subdued several attacking lions with nothing but some rope wrapped around his fists. He’s a principled, if savage, fighter - he would never mutilate an animal with a knife. A stunned and alive lion is worth more than hide and a few pieces of salted meat tougher than a saddlebag.
The tales are many, but they are all just tales. Despite that, it is tales that fully make our lives. But the only true ones are the ones we choose to believe.
