Barbarian
Base Class: Barbarian

The story of Gruumsh One-eye is told and re-told around the campfires of Orc camps. You are reminded that when the gods were dividing the planet, each place that Gruumsh wanted had already been claimed. The other gods laughed at Gruumsh, but he responded with a furious bellow. Grasping his mighty spear, he laid waste to the mountains, set the forests aflame, and carved great furrows in the fields. Such was the role of the orcs, he proclaimed, to take and destroy all that the other races would deny them. To this day, the orcs wage an endless war on humans, dwarves, and other folk. But above all others, Orcs hold a particular hatred for elves. The elven god Corellon Larethian half-blinded Gruumsh with a well-placed arrow to the orc god’s eye. Since then, the orcs have taken particular joy in slaughtering elves.

As you grew up you realized that nothing in this world is given, only taken. Your heart is filled with a burning desire to subjugate others and either secure a place to call home or destroy the places others call home. Only by replicating the great works of Gruumsh can you hope to show your people the way. Through conquest or destruction, you must dominate the world around you. Only through Strength and Determination can your vision be brought to life.
