— Warhammer 40,000

And at this time
the brazen god of war
cast up a great lord
to lead the Savages forth

The hour of judgment is close at hand as the Orcish Hordes stand ready to sweep across this domain like a pestilence and seize the capital of Lordaeron.

— Orc mission briefing 13, Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness

Slumber now, child of mine
Until they come, with torch aflame
But do not run
Your time has come
For the men of the North stake claim

They come to claim, child of mine
They come to claim your life
With hearts of stone
And splitting bone
Their wake is deadly strife

So sleep tonight, child of mine
For tomorrow morn, the sun won't shine
So stay aware
And offer prayer
For the men of the North march time

—Traditional lullaby from northern Kislev, Liber Chaotica

"From the chaos comes form and order
From the many comes the one
Out of the east prowl upon the borders
Come to crush and overrun

Brutal the bull, gouge out the weak
Tongue of tyrant at the core
Force of ancients, strike down the meek
Raise the flags, the banners of war
The banners of war"

— Miracle of Sound on Caesar's Legion, "Mojave Song"

"Weird to think of Northlanders doing anything other than killing, isn't it?"

— Kruber on the Rotblood Tribe, Vermintide II
