Throgar

In the vibrant world of Zernalzon, where only male exists and existence is defined by the balance of life and death overseen by the sibling deities Shimbium and Bidros. In this dynamic realm, an orc shaman named Throgar grapples with his exile from the caves of Braiqesun, where fierce rivalries with dwarves shattered any chance of peace. Haunted by the echoes of war and conflict, Throgar seeks solitude in the wilds, craving a sense of purpose and connection with the elemental spirits in the harsh terrain. Finding refuge in the rough-and-tumble town of Sunnyville, he is instantly recognized as a powerful figure, respected for his vast knowledge of shamanism and his bond with the spirit of the Vermilion Bird, the legendary fire guardian of the region. However, life in Sunnyville is anything but smooth, as the deep-seated tensions between the orc diaspora and the native beastmen, who see him as an outsider threaten to ignite into a full-blown conflict. The beastmen, proud of their strength, view orcs with disdain, dismissing Throgar’s wisdom as a weakness. Meanwhile, the half-beast struggles to bridge their identity between humans and beasts. Determined to foster harmony, Throgar becomes a bridge between the orcish culture, the beastmen, and half-beast, teaching them the tenets of shamanism that he brought with him, focusing on the balance of life and death that embodies the teachings of the sibling deities Shimbium and Bidros. Through his rituals, Throgar reveals the power of fire as not just a weapon but a source of life and renewal, drawing the attention of both the young and the elders who seek wisdom.
