Second Orc Book

Second Orc Book are series of quests in Arkain, focusing on Orc's redemption after the disastrous attack upon the Imperial line. The story is mainly focused on Amari, Rangul's daughter and her efforts.

## Synopsis

After the pyrrhic and disastrous battle and the Demon attack in the aftermath, the Orcs have scattered anywhere alongside Human stragglers and survivors of the fallen Kingdom of Lor.

## Plot

### Prologue

Rangul haggles the cost of transport on Goblins, while Vanessa tries to talk to her father, but she was rebuffed once again. Then Rangul commanded Zairmak to reorganize any Orc stragglers and survivors and go to the rendezvous point and also following Ephrog's request, while also worried about the Darkmind Clan and Rath Wolfscar's actions.

All the while, Amari and Okri are on a wrecked Human village. Amari asks Okri if she was ready to reconcile with her old clan, who like Amari, exiled her for her gender equality issue.

### The Exiles

Amari and Okri try to enlist Grella the Bonesplitter's and the Dark Trolls as her ally. The Dark Troll leader hesitated, but an attack from her old friend Korjaha the Hunter, who was made Ironfist thrall, changed her mind. The Orc duo fights their way to Korjaha's lair, while also killing the Ironfist commander Dorcas. The duo then killed Korjaha and took the necklace he got from Councilor Birram to Grella. Grateful, she decided to ally with Amari.

### Burning Homes

One-Eye rallied any Deathbreeze Clan members who survived the Redfist genocide, and try to flee the burning islands by contacting a Goblin base and take them towards Rangul to report the tragic news.

### Wrath of the Darkmind

Rath (and his obsession on Blen Greymoore's head) and the Darkmind cut swathes through Kerrel in search of Blen. There, they met Lokar the Crusher and the Ironthunder Clan. He fought through the village held by the Royal Army, eliminated the remaining Imperial Army bases and got Cyclops as allies.

### Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Zairmak arrived at a particular base held by Grofzag and Deathbreeze stragglers, surrounded by Daric's Mercenaries, Imperial Regiments, Royal Army remnants and under attack by Demons. Zairmak and Grofzag escaped the encirclement through the Pearl of Lor.

### Roars in the Forest

Zairmak and Grofzag runs through the Pearl, littered by Demons, Undead, mutants, Demons and crazed creatures. Along the way, they stumbled upon the remaining Bearman camp named Koydoss Tribe. The duo assisted the Bearmen by destroying the mutants. And they race to the exit.

### A Dish Best Served Cold

Rath eventually corners Blen in his castle. With Aedale Redfist and Harmos on his side, the Orcs have heavy resistance in their path of vengeance. After crushing both Aedale's Servants and Order of the Flame bases, the group pushes through, but it was revealed to be a vision, and Amari questions her master why he paused the vision, revealing also that the battle was finished a few moments ago. The player must choose between Rath and Blen, and the vision continues after the choice was made. Rath gets his vengeance, but was killed in an explosion, should you choose him. Blen pushes out his enemies, and kills Rath, should you choose him.

### The Southern Realm

The Orcs and their allies have prematurely deployed in the frontier of Salria. Along their way, many Imperial Regiments, Salrian Army, Stonebreaker Dwarves and a major Golden Guard base stands their way. They crushed all of them, pushing towards their rendezvous point.

### Horse and Rider

The Centaurs are waging war against the Salrians, and the Orcs assisted them. They fought several Imperial Regiments, Salrians, Redfist vanguard under Commander Thorn, Daric's Mercenaries under Cassius the Red and Dwarves. The combined Centaur/Deathbreeze Clan/Cliffhunter Clan offense destroyed them all, and also unlocking the vault inside the base.

### The Legion

Rangul, Vanessa and Brockta the Stomper freed the Red Dragons from Moghtar hands, defeated them completely. But Duke Volarian Redfist, Zarin Hammerfall and their retinue arrived and killed both Rangul and Ephrog, (optionally, taking Vanessa).

### Dogs of War

Amari and Grofzag enlisted the Gnolls for help. But first, they must free King Gran Gorehowl from the hands of the Redfist.

### Dark Sea

The Orcs and allies have been besieged by the Zora's Pirates/Imperial Army/Daric's Mercenaries. They broke the blockade with help from One-Eye and Grella the Bonesplitter.

### Risen Resistance

The Orcs and their allies have been encircled by Imperials, Mercs and Salrians. Amari rescued them, repelled the attacks, and also even defeating the attacking Bonelords and the Undead Nexus in the area. Amari then took the leadership of the clan after slaying Sasrogarn.

### A Red Day

The Tribal Dominion must finish the war. They faced the Mercs, Redfist and Salrian remnants. All the while, Duke Redfist was killed by Aedale Redfist.

### Coats of Gold

The Purificator poses a threat upon the Dominion, so Amari took the chance to destroy the Golden Guard guarding the weapon.

### Warriors of the Dominion

The Dominion prepared the defense against the Demons, without relying on the cannon they have. They defeated all Demons and crippled their invasion.

### End of Orckind

Vanessa led the Redfist in exterminating the Tribal Dominion, while Duke Redfist hunts and kills his own daughters Aedale and Vanessa.

## Aftermath

### An Age of Peace

Amari was formally announced as the leader of the Tribal Dominion of almost all leaders, except Gran Gorehowl, who left for the Gnoll Island and sent an envoy instead. Then, the leaders debriefs her on the situation, like Zyainor never attacking them (due to a deal between Amari and King Gardon). Then, the respective leaders pledged their allegiance and forces to her.

Moments later, Amari approached her master and offered her forces to his arsenal. The master praised her and gave her word to relax and prepare for the war in the future.

Ornasion and Aridon talked about the latter's failed vision and questions his "balance". But the Watcher assured his follower. And the report about a temple on Gnoll Island that was attacked. Aridon tells him he sent investigators, then commands Ornasion to leave.

Lord Brian approached him, both of them exchanged sarcastic praises and banters.
