Chapter 2

Of course, recreating that crafted by the hand of dark divinity was not
really a high enough goal. He'd have to improve on it. The first step would
be not picking an elf as the base. Orcs were hardly famed for their mental
prowess, so why not pick something that would complement the orc traits?

Yes, a fire giant. Perfect. Rashign bought a young specimen off the
necromancer a hall over and two doors down. It cost him a silver staff he'd
pilfered from that arrogant fool next door, but it was a small price to pay
(and removed evidence, as a benefit).

Orcs were everywhere this time of season; he ambushed a young one in the
shadow grove, disrupting its mind and leaving it a drooling reck - well,
more so than usual.

Now he had all he needed. It was time to experiment!

The fire giant died about half an hour into said experiments, and the orc
shortly after.

Perhaps this was going to take a while, Rashign acknowledged.
