“For hundreds of years, perhaps longer, orcs have been misunderstood and hated.” Virens shrugs. It’s not an easy thing to say, but he seems casual about it. “We are ugly to others, violent, more interested in function th… --- ## [Campfire Tales: Ghosts](https://forum.menagerie.team/t/campfire-tales-ghosts/784)

The warmth of the fire contrasts with the cool of the mountain air. The fellowship’s breath rises from their mouths and evaporates into the night. “The orcs of Tosk do not enslave.

“What was it that you called Chain’s Crossing?” The question stirred old memories, long forgotten by the passage of time. “My people called the island Heigflæma, which in the modern tongue roughly means Hior’s Flame.” … --- ## [Campfire Tales: The Rock Ferrets](https://forum.menagerie.team/t/campfire-tales-the-rock-ferrets/755)

I feel like Virens has been alone in his tales around the campfire for too long. Now it’s time Rowan to share one of his own. “So is that your… pet?” “Ramal?” Rowan asked with a small laugh. “No, he’s a companion m… --- ## [Campfire Tales: the Sickle](https://forum.menagerie.team/t/campfire-tales-the-sickle/754)

“Orcs are misunderstood.” Virens apparently finds great humor in this comment. He chuckles to himself for several seconds. Or, perhaps, laughter is just the shield for other feelings. “Tosk is known as the ‘City of Spe… --- ## [Campfire Tales: the empty hand](https://forum.menagerie.team/t/campfire-tales-the-empty-hand/746)

Virens rubs his hands together, cracking the knuckle bones now and then. He doesn’t meet anyone’s eyes. He’s too busy remembering. “Not every hand is suitable for holding the Spear or Sickle, or beating the Drum.

Virens turns his sabertooth knife over and around in his hands. The naturally sharp tip has been sharpened further by orcish hands, with serration added as well.
