Rise of the Deathbreeze

Rise of the Deathbreeze is a quest in First Orc Book.

## Background

Already having Darkmind Clan on his ranks, and got their transport, Rangul went on to the meeting place.

## Opening

The Destroyer bickers with the clan member heads like Dogran, while Gorthog the Blooddrinker watches, save for the Ironthunder Clan, sending only an envoy when Rangul and Rath arrived. Zairmak readily accepted the invitation of Rangul, Gorthog the Blooddrinker either joins or declines (should you do or do not kill Xxingraal the Broodmother a few chapters back), Destroyer and the Ironthunder envoy declined, while the rest needs something before they join you, like Goldaxe Clan needing money, and Bloodhand Clan, dealing with The Destroyer might be good, while overall, the Moghtar crashed the meeting by building a base, sending a whole clan to do it. Rangul can prove his worth by destroying the Moghtar intruders.

## Quest

### Main Quest:

* Destroy the Moghtar Fortress.

Description: The Moghtar has sent an entire Clan to sabotage Rangul's plans by killing every involved clan. It's likely that they intend to enslave the Orcs and use them for their petty war games. This gives Rangul the opportunity to show his strength once again, if he managed to defeat this army, the clans have no choice but to join his cause.

### Side Quest:

* Acquire gold for Goldaxe Clan (4000 gold)

Description: While most members of Goldaxe Clan were honorable warriors and riders, their chieftain is known for being a greedy opportunist. If Rangul could prove his ability to harvest gold, the chieftain will gladly join his cause, thinking that he could gain riches for doing so.

* Kill The Destroyer.

Description: The Bloodhand Clan lost their chieftain years ago to the Imperial Army. After his death, a Champion, called The Destroyer, took his place by killing the eldest son of the chieftain. Since then, he's ruled with brute force and with the support of his either scared or loyal underlings. However, if the champion will be slain after all these years, the last son of the old chieftain would take over his place, and and he'd be grateful enough to join Rangul's cause.

## The Battle

Rangul and the Deathbreeze built defenses on two areas: one near the Ironthunder Clan and the main road North. Then, he built a strong force and killed the beasts near the camp. Then, with Darkmind Clan, Skullblade Clan (if joining) and Ravaging Fire Clan sending forces to attack random targets. Rangul then took his force to the center, where the Feral Orcs are, killing them and Kakuzu and built a fortified defense on the roads. They had to thrift the money, their quota of 4000 Gold is a handful. After making that amount, Goldaxe Clan soldiers will assist you in fighting random targets.

Rangul then focused on the Destroyer. Despite resistance, he was killed and Rangul fled the scene before the Bloodhand Clan can attack them. The combined alliance has different waves: Darkmind's 1st wave has Raiders and ranged soldiers, and 2nd has Rath Wolfscar and Raiders. Goldaxe's 1st wave has a mix of Raiders and Kodo Beasts, the 2nd had Dogran and his guards. Bloodhand has Grunts and Demolishers on 1st, the Blademaster and Grunts on 2nd. Ravaging Fire has Necrolytes and Grunts on first, Zairmak and the Necrolytes on 2nd. Skullblade has Wyvern Riders on first, then Gorthog the Blooddrinker and Raiders on 2nd.

Rangul initially focused on the Ironthunder, with allies attacking the defenses, Rangul focused on structures. They crushed the Ironthunder Clan, and built a base there. Then, they focused on the Moghtar filth. The Moghtar has a very large defense and strong units, with Red Dragons on their ranks. The combined Orc Clans fought their way towards the Fortress. Despite massive casualties, they destroyed the Moghtar Bonebreaker Clan.

### True Story

The gameplay still the same, but with different viewpoints. The Moghtar was not present in this gameplay, Skullblade will not side with you, even if you kill Xxingraal. You can choose between 3 choices:

If you play as Deathbreeze Clan, you will have to fight Ironthunder Clan, Skullblade Clan and Bloodhand Clan alongside Darkmind Clan, Ravaging Fire Clan and if you bought Goldaxe Clan's loyalty, alongside them too. You will have to crush the enemies utterly to make them submit to you forcefully.

If you play as Darkmind Clan, you have to destroy the Strongholds and Fortresses of the minor Orc Clans, prevent the Goldaxe from achieving their plans, and optionally, assist the Deathbreeze in their fight. You start with smaller food limit. Subjugation of one minor Clan adds Food limit.

If you play as Goldaxe Clan, you have to earn riches in the chaos, while waiting for the Deathbreeze Clan to pile up enough gold. You either subjugate the minor clans, or make up deals from behind the back, in exchange of plenty rewards per transaction.

## Aftermath

The Orc Clans united under Rangul prepare for war against the Imperials and the Kingdoms.

## Hint

Should you not kill Xxingraal the Great Brood Mother, Skullblade Clan will fight against you. And there is Kakuzu, leading a bunch of Feral Orcs, you must kill him to acquire the center Gold Mine and access the Goblin Merchant. And Bloodhand Clan's replacement to Destroyer is a random generically named Blademaster. If you collect 4000 Gold, that will not be deducted.
