Story
ZURKUK IRONBELLY
Wo das Licht nicht reicht stand ZURKUK IRONBELLY, Master Siege Engineer, ein Kind von Orcs, getragen von Schicksal und Geheimnis.
ZURKUK war nicht wie die anderen. Nicht besser, nicht schlechter - nur anders. Eine Melodie in einer anderen Tonart. Ein Farbton, den nur wenige sehen konnten.
Das Leben hatte ZURKUK geformt, wie es alle formt - durch Freude und Schmerz, durch Hoffnung und Verzweiflung, durch die tausend kleinen Momente, die ein Leben ausmachen.
Aber da war etwas in ZURKUK. Etwas, das sich weigerte, sich fügen zu wollen. Eine Stimme, die flüsterte, wenn alle anderen schwiegen. Ein Licht, das brannte, wenn die Welt dunkel wurde.
Zurkuk has designed a weapon so devastating that he has hidden the plans, fearing what would happen if any clan possessed it. He dreams of building something that would make war obsolete.. Das war die Last, die ZURKUK trug. Nicht schwer genug, um zu brechen. Aber schwer genug, um zu spüren. Immer da. Immer gegenwärtig.
Die anderen in Orcs sahen es manchmal. In den Augen, die zu weit blickten. In den Händen, die zitterten. In der Stille zwischen den Worten.
Aber sie fragten nicht. Denn so war die Art ihrer Welt. Jeder trug seine Last. Jeder seine Geheimnisse. Jeder seine ungeschriebene Geschichte.
Und ZURKUK? ZURKUK ging weiter. Tag für Tag. Durch die Labyrinthe von Orcs, durch die verschlungenen Pfade von Macht und Pflicht und Überleben.
Wartend. Hoffend. Träumend von dem Tag, an dem das Geheimnis gelüftet würde - oder für immer begraben bleiben würde.
