| Background | ||
| Tribes that follow Luthic are in some ways less dangerous than other orc tribes. The Vile Rune and Blood Drinker tribes value their lives more highly than the typical orc, and as such are less likely to wage senseless war against their neighbors. However, at the first sign of weakness, they will attack, and spare none of their foes. Prisoners of these tribes rarely survive long, as they do not believe in wasting resources on outsiders. Priestesses of Luthic will stay back in battle, using magic in preference to physical attack, and tending to the wounded that they may continue fighting. They tend to be advisers to the chieftains of their tribes, urging them on to greater and greater conquests. They consul the capture and absorption of rival orc tribes (particularly those serving Yutrus and Shargas, and to a lesser extent Ilneval), to increase the power of their tribe. | ||
