Orctober Drabbles by Grundy

Lothlann

histories, burned, sacrifice, remember

The histories say… except they didn’t, for those who were once known as orc. They did not get to write histories in the First Life. They passed what they could from generation to generation, preserving what they remembered. But much had been lost. Their Master was no kinder to them than he was to the Free Ones. The Burning had been a great triumph for the Master, but they’d had no cause to celebrate. They were sacrificed by the tens of thousands to buy that ‘victory’. In the Second Life, they have a chance to write and build for themselves.
