Cultural and Background Information

Durgul hails from the Bloodfang Clan, a tribe of orcs known for their honor, loyalty, and fierce pride. They have a longstanding tradition of challenging other clans and tribes to prove their strength and dominance. Durgul was born into this tribe and was raised with the belief that might makes right.

However, a pivotal event in Durgul's life reshaped his perspective on conflict and led him to develop a more tempered approach. During a raid on a neighboring human settlement, he encountered a young girl who had been separated from her family. Instead of following the attack orders, Durgul felt an empathetic connection to the frightened child. He chose to protect her from harm and reunited her with her family.

This encounter opened Durgul's eyes to the suffering caused by blind aggression and violence. He began questioning the purpose of endless bloodshed and sought a way to reconcile his orcish heritage with compassion and understanding.

This pursuit of balance and empathy within his society sets Durgul apart from other orcs. It challenges the typical stereotypes associated with his kind and has earned him admiration and respect among his tribe as well as among other races.

He desires to see his tribe and others expand their understandings of strength beyond brute force and dominance, to find strength in unity and harmony.

Furthermore, Durgul desires to use his metal manipulation skills to create weapons and armor that embody his newfound philosophy of balance and compassion. He envisions crafting artifacts that can bring about reconciliation and understanding between factions, making a tangible difference in the world.
