Personal history
Vasha Blackblade defied tradition and became the first female Chief of the Moonshadow Clan. She claimed leadership by defeating her predecessor in single combat after recognizing his erratic decisions would lead the clan to ruin. Under her reign, the Moonshadow Clan became stronger than ever, thriving through a combination of brute strength and clever strategy.
She was a master of the dual-blade technique and an expert in disguise, making her the clan’s most formidable warrior and spy. Her greatest contribution was orchestrating The Night of Broken Spears, a tactical raid that exposed a powerful enemy force. However, this victory came at a cost—the other orc clans joined forces and retaliated, driving the Moonshadow Clan into hiding.
Instead of retreating with her people, Vasha made a final stand, holding off the main assault while her clan escaped to their hidden refuge. Though she fell in battle, her sacrifice ensured the survival of her people, cementing her as both a legend and a martyr among the orcs.
