Their twisted bodies animated by the power of a raging storm, their souls infused with very essence of the Nexus, the orcs that emerged from Garkan’s flesh forges were unlike any that had come before them. Their cracked skin was of a green-grey hue, and broader, more muscular, and yet possessed of a cruel cunning and impressive martial prowess, these ‘Riftforged orcs’ were truly Garkan’s finest creation. | |||
But there was more to these creatures than mere brute strength. Their affinity with the rift-storms brought about by the Nexus of Power manifested in crackling energy, which wreathed their bodies and lent strength to their sword-arms. The more Riftforged orcs gathered, the greater this power became, and with extraordinary swiftness the young race began to master this energy, fuelling it with their battle-rage. | But there was more to these creatures than mere brute strength.

[[The Abyss]] itself proved the most effective testing ground for these new warriors. Time works differently in its twisted depths. What seems like years in the Abyss, is only a fleeting moment in the material world of Pannithor. Gibbering demons provoked Garkan’s new creations to battle almost at once, seeing them as mortal interlopers in their realm. Garkan granted the Stormbringers permission to seek retribution as they saw fit, and so the Riftforged orcs marched to war. Over myriad campaigns spanning many years, the Riftforged orcs fought battle after battle in Garkan’s name, hunting in [[The Second Circle|the second circle]], braving the fires of [[The Fourth Circle|the fourth circle]], enduring the tortures of [[The Third Circle|the third circle]], and battling the champions of [[The Fifth Circle|the fifth circle]]. In the Abyss, death is not the end, and so the orc warriors fought, and fell, and rose to fight again, each resurrection making them stronger, cannier, and more skilled. | [[The Abyss]] itself proved the most effective testing ground for these new warriors.
