I.. the fortunate player Eternalfire/Subatoi have been benefited the presence of the Ursor gods. I wish to share my experiences with all of you, with my story and with new storys of other player conversions.
I was surveying the land of Ursor, looking for habitable areas for my alliance The Long Road, when I stumbled across a war torn stretch of land. The ground was stained red with blood, broken spears and swords lay everywhere. The bodies? Human, Elf and Dwarf, not an Orc in sight..
I stood horrified when I heard a sound in the distance, much like nails on a chalk board. In seconds three large Orc beings stood all around me, surrounding me in a triangle. I had gasped and reached for my spear, and lunged towards the Orc in front of me. The great being stopped me with a simple wave of his hands, and spoke, his words like a a brutal avalanche crushing down on helpless travelers.
" you show much courage..for an elf... how unusual" *paces around*
I was frozen in place, unable to do anything but stare ahead.
"Ah i can sense your fear, you are afraid youll never see your friends and family again, humph.. maybe.."
*confers with other two Orc beings*
" I will grant you a pardon for trespassing upon our lands, and will allow you to colonize this area if.. you actively convert others to worship US.. impress us with your recruits, and you'll live another hour..."
" go now, seek out the other races, Human and Dwarf, teach them to follow our ways, befriend all orcs.. it is the way of your life now..."
My story.. is spoken..
I am recruiting all whom wish to tread upon the same path as i did.. to seek the true meaning in our lives..
I have a few of my Orc members praying through battle to these beings, to seek out more laws.. more ways to convert successfully.. more ways to appease..
This is what I know:
NAP/confed all Orc alliances
convert as many of all races to your faith
appease the Orc beings through ways of war
More will be lear over time..
Join us.. on becoming Blood Reapers

THE ORC LORDS' PREY PRAYER
Mighty Wyldfyr Spark of Eternal Fire Hollowed be thy name In War hard won Thy will be done In pestilence and in pain By the fridged, dark before Into the piercing light of War Let our enemies blood rain Give us this day our daily dead Forgive us our non-aggression Deliver us unto battle For Thine is the Ax And the Sword And the Spear Forever and ever Amen

" I walked with my friend Napalm, who is an orc. He took me to a
clearing in the middle of the forest base in ursor, where our stronghold
is near. In said clearing were elves playing in the sun, chopping down
trees for fire, carving them out for homes. Napalm gave a sharp
whistle and out came 50 kobolds who slaughtered the elves in the
vicinity.
I was taken back at first but napalm cleared my mind
with his words, "everyone believes we are the villains, but we are more
like pest control. Those elves were killing the land for their selfish
gain, we kill them for our gain, but save the land with their split
blood."
The wisdom of the Orcs.

Well as is the blood Reavers are a vicious grouping of orcs, and to say they *approve* of us is the wrong word. They rather are allowing us to build up and when they are ready they will unleash the hordes upon us, should we survive the waves they *might* be impressed and become our allies, and use us to wage war on other factions.

From the journal of Eternal Fire, Great Prophet of the Blood Reapers..
i walked with the orc Braak earlier today, he had invited me last night join him for a “trot” around the borders of our two camps. Not wanting to risk angering the Orc I agreed to the early walk and awoke this morning, with the moon still shining brightly in the sky.
We walked in silence for the first few minutes, I was unsure how to progress into a conversation with Braak, ever since I was gifted with the vison of the Blood Reaver gods Kilg, Ruro and Kaarag The native orcs in Ursor were more welcoming of myself and my party, but Braak was not a native, he too had arrived to this new land shortly after my encounter..
Braak was a typical greenskin, he stank of rotten meat and blood from battle after battle, feasting after feasting without stopping to bathe. He carried with him a dagger turned like a corkscrew, and his spear, strapped to his back. He noticed me staring at him, and put a finger to his mouth, signaling not to talk.
We stopped at a clearing and noticed a encampment of humans in the clearing. The children were playing in a stream, the men were on a loose patrol around the area and the women cooking a boar they had trapped.
Braak looked at me and winked, and gave a loud whistle, in moments arrows and spears whistled out of the air and struck the men and women closest to the edges of the clearing. There was a stunned silence for a few moments as the humans took in what had happened so abruptly, then just as the screams were beginning to build in the children, a horde of Orcs rushed out of the trees screaming, they cut into the humans leaving none alive.
I looked at Braak, with what I guess was a look of horror, Braak looked at my sternly and said “ everyone believes we are the villains, but we are more like pest control. Those humans were killing the land for their selfish gain, we kill them for our gain, but save the land with their split blood”
The wisdom of the Orcs...

From the Great Prophet Eternal Fire "
The Blood Reavers benefited the lands of Ursor with fertile grounds, bountiful game and fresh rivers. All this changed when the three races arrived, pillaging the grounds for selfish greed. The native orcs were stunned by the turn of events.
TLR settlers were nearly routed until Prophets Bonfyr and DTrooper told them we were not among the vandals, plundering the lands. The Blood Reapers prepared a cleansing mission, to purge those who did not hold the orc flag in their homes...
A great crack in the ground appeared, the earth shook with roars of demons and the dead falling, the dying crying. Skeletal slaves of the Reavers appeared and begun slaughtering the pillagers.
Alas the word went out and millions appeared within the next weeks to combat the skeletal beings who were working to cleanse and repair the Wild of Ursor. The skeletons were defeated, and we continue to see destruction...
