The Tygers of Orc are a cult that honors Orc, the Chained Boy, the Spirit of Rebellion. They are committed to destroying the powerful, and believe that doing so in a ritual way can promote the spirit of rebellion in the hearts of the populace. When a sufficient mass of the people hear the cry of Orc, the flames shall rise and the guillotines shall fall.
