Chapter 1 - Mourning

Gathering after the battle, the Orcs prepared to mourn their dead. They didn't celebrate the life of the fallen, but instead the death of the enemies they had killed.

The battle had been long and many Orcs had been slain. The number of Elves that now lay dead was even greater and their bodies are what the Orcs concentrated on. Stripping the weapons and armor off of the bodies, they left them to rot far from the field where they wouldn't soon be found.

Then the Orcs proceeded to march upon the unsuspecting Elven village and properly mourn their dead.
