On a very rare occasion an orc is born with an exceptional intelligence and wisdom, at least in orc standards. These orcs provide an invaluable resource to its tribe by becoming the "thinking one", planning the raid and commanding its kins in the heist. But more often, an orc savant is despised by its kins for "being a smart-ass", and decides to abandon its kind to join others that it can have a decent talk or two. Many adventurers are surprised to find a piece of poetry completely written in elonquent Orc. Unless this poetry is written by an eccentric sage who takes great interest in Orcish language, this is a solid proof of an orc savant dwelling in the tribe. |
