Scalgard Wolf-Sworn
Wolf-Sworn[edit]
The wolf-sworn are the dark, feral champions of the orcish horde, and the leaders of their raiding parties. They have internalized the cruel lessons of orcheim's winters and trained extensively with their liegemen. A mad lust for battle burns in their breasts, as does a deep affinity for each member of their raiding parties. The wolf-sworn are fearsome foes, as individuals almost as strong as the best of the Fenian barbarians or Saeson knights they frequently fight. But in a group they are truly monsters.
