"You will all serve da big green one! You know who I mean! He’s dere whenever you swing an axe, bite a face, or take somethin’ you want! All you gotta do is keep killin’ and dat will keep him happy!"
——Mogtul Bloodshaht, Orc Shaman
This Orc is draped in the best of Orcish religious finery, which primarily consists of dead animals and the body parts of other humanoids that their god hates, then occasionally some other clothing like loin cloths and furs. Many Shamans take to wearing a crown of bones to indicate their role in the Orc tribe, and to remind their brethren of their power. The Orc Shaman is a divine caster who uses the crude and savage magic of its Orc God to aid war parties in combat and keep them in check outside of it. They also often serve as advisors to Orc Chieftains, but are quick to betray them and supplant them with a new figurehead should they grow weak.
