* ExplosiveBreeder: According to Zephanus in ''Summa Elvetica'', they breed like rabbits despite being very large. Supposedly, this results in battles being waged with poor tactics to remove the most troublesome from society.

In Wiccam Fensboro, the Orcish chief Grun-kor and his horde acknowledge that they will certainly die in the battle they are being summoned to. The catch?

He hates that he is enslaved, but when offered freedom he instead requests a rain check; he must have proper supplies, a plan to get home and some resources to return to freedom.
