Bur’Zagi - Mighty Orc Sovran 

Historical Documentation

A fabled Orc leader, Bur’Zagi formed his own personal warband, the Minar Bilatsen (Pain Seekers) and led them into battle. Rather than do what Orcs had done for generations and recruit his own kinsmen, Bur’Zagi sought out the finest, toughest and deadliest Orcs from all of the different tribes. Whether from the Blasted Lands Orcs, the bestial Orc hunters or the Ice Orcs of Izotzdia, he encouraged them to undertake the most perilous journeys, face their darkest fears and fight in the grandest battles. These challenges, he believed, would make his followers unbeatable and forge them into true warriors rather than the traditional orc conqueror. For some time, he was proven correct, until he made the decision that was to be his ruin. Bur’Zagi was extremely strong and hardy, surpassing all others in physical attributes. He was also a fine tactician, but in the end fatally underestimated one foe in particular.

Temporal Log

Bur’Zagi’s name is revered to this day by the Orcs as one who could have conquered the known world. His end was an ignominious defeat from which Orc kind has never recovered. Coveting the fabled jewels of Ailewi, the faerie cavern, he attacked that underground world with his followers, confident that the tiny faeries were no threat to his hand-picked raiders. The cavern faeries stood their ground, wiping out his carefully trained troops with their magic and making an example of the captured Bur’Zagi. He was entombed alive in a large crystal on the hills overlooking a valley that later came to bear his name. He remains there still, perfectly preserved and clearly visible to anyone who passes through the valley of Bur’Zagi on their way to Ailewi or the Blasted Lands further south.
