The Flamebone Spear
A mythical weapon said to have been crafted from the bones of a fire-giant slain by Zothorg during the early tribal wars. Lost in the wilds — some say it emerges only for chosen war-leaders.
The Totem of Wild Accord
A bark-carved staff inscribed with the ancient pact that brought warring orc tribes together under Zothorg. Said to calm beasts and rally even enemy tribes under a common cause.
Holy Books & Codes
"The Code of the Flameborn" – A sacred oral creed, usually taught in verses to young orcs:
The Land is not owned, but owed.
Blood is not a bond until it is tested.
What is broken may yet be stronger.
No master sits above the tribe.
The flame in your chest is the proof of your purpose.
Divine Symbols & Sigils
A boar tusk curled around a green flame, set against a jagged mountain and tree. Often painted or carved into bark, bones, or war paint.
The tusk = Zothorg himself.
The flame = inner purpose.
Mountain/tree = nature and resilience.

Different tribes may alter the sigil to include:
Claw marks for warlike tribes.

Tenets of Faith
Survive, then thrive.
Never kneel to tyrants — gods included.
Honor the land; it was your first mother.
Clan above self — but never at the cost of truth.
Change is sacred; even chaos has roots.
Do not fear your origins — wield them.
Speak to the dead through deeds.
A true warrior knows when not to fight.

Physical Description
Body Features
Height & Build: A massive, muscular frame, broad-shouldered and thick-limbed, built like an ancient oak wrapped in iron. He moves with the deliberate force of a landslide, yet can strike with the speed of a thunderbolt.
Skin: Olive-green with ash-gray patches (like storm clouds or bark peeling from a tree), some of which form tribal markings—faded scars of old battles or sacred tattoos that shift like living shadows.
Eyes: Light brown, but in certain light, they gleam like amber or smoldering coals. When angered, they flicker with greenish storm-light.
Hair: Thick, black, and wild, streaked with gray—often tied in knots, braids, or bone-adorned locks, some woven with feathers, leaves, or small talismans from fallen warriors.
Tusks: Protruding lower tusks, slightly uneven—one is chipped from an ancient battle, a mark he wears with pride. They’re often stained dark at the tips from ritual paints or blood.
Other Features:
A broken nose
Ears notched with ritual scars and rings
Hands like stone, knuckles permanently scarred from centuries of war and labor.
Symbolic Details (For Priests & Art)
Depictions often show him with one foot on a broken crown (rejecting tyranny) and a hand resting on a living tree (nature’s endurance).
