[i]Victory or death![/i] The powerful orc charged across the field. The javelin flew and hit true, planting itself in the orc's chest. But Tuskor staggered for only a moment before the charge continued. Surprised by the speed and tenacity, the stranger fumbled and was unable to brace his spear properly as his opponent closed in. The spear merely grazed the orc's side as he smashed into the stranger, impaling him on his own spear. For all the shine of his skin, his flesh was as weak any other and with his heart pierced, he collapsed before the  orc. Blood filled Tuskor's lungs and as his life quickly faded he saw other men approaching in the distance.

Two smiths, Darog and Raznok, came before the acting chieftain with an argument. They were united on one stance; their supply of iron was too limited to suit all the needs of the clan and something had to be prioritised. Raznok argued "We are born warriors and in this land there are already battles to be fought. To the south there are dwarves whose intentions we do not know, to the east our scouts have disappeared and what threats lie beyond the forest we do not yet know. We must forge weapons to defend ourselves and avenge our fallen brothers should we need to." Darog disagreed "It is hasty to devote ourselves to weaponsmithing when we do not yet know of any real threat. Trusting the words of the scouts, the dwarfs to our south are no great threat and for all we know the scouts to the east are on their way back as we speak. Our priority must be new tools, to hasten our felling of the forest and the building of our new home. Rather than insult our legacy by giving our warriors weapons made of cheap iron, we can build palisades to strengthen ourselves against all possible threats."
