A Dread Lord Rises

The Curse of Lamalla has descended upon the land, and a Dread Lord's time has come.

Wister Goremaiming, master of the great black tower of Malturrim orders the sounding of Blattmore, the Fell Horn, and the thunderous bellow of that great instrument sounds the doom of man.  It is a signal to the orcish war clans that roam the vast steppes surrounding Malturrim, a signal to the Orc Lords to gather their strength and assemble within the shadowy halls of the Dark Lord's tower.  In one month, they will launch a great crusade into the wealthy, corpulent lands of men, to gather a harvest of blood and tears, gold and slaves.

So begins the great game, in which the Orc Lords vie for position in the Iron Court of the Dread Lord.  Each is called to deliver slaves, soldiers, and shekels to his Master, and with each donation the Orc Lord's status rises.  For the Dread Master cares little how such offerings are procured, only for whom the glory should be given.  As iron sharpens iron, the Orc Lords raid not just the neighboring lands, but also each other, to prove their worth, to dominate their rivals, and to prove their mettle.

Schedule

Players should get their Draft Sheets into the GM by November 11th.

Results will be posted on Monday, November 14th.

First orders - orders for the first full week of December - should be submitted by November 28th.  This will give the DM time to work out the march orders, identify clashes and raids, and publish the results for the first few days on December 1st.

We will stick with weekly orders as long as possible, but as the complexity goes up, we will make adjustments as necessary to maintain the DM's sanity.
