Hn, I was looking into some info for my roleplay, and re-read Interview with a Dark Elf.

Aside from some interesting tidbits, I saw mentioned 'Malahk-Orcs' and how they made Orsinium Orcs look like pansies. Supposedly they lived in the hills of Morrowind.

Now, i'm playing Morrowind through at the moment, and aside from somehow stumbling on Shrines of Malacath -three times- in one in-game day and having to slay/run from hordes of Orcs i've seen no sign of any sort of tougher and meaner 'hill Orcs'. Stll, are these perhaps the ones he is talking about? Or just something that never made it into the games? Or could he perhaps be talking about Ogrims?

I think its just BS. Everyone likes to belittle the problems of others. "Oh, those westerners have orc attacks too? Well, those orcs are sissies compared to our orcs. They should just toughen up and get over it."

I think they're referring to worshipers of Malauch (Malacath) and how they're so religious and zealous that they're crazy and more likely to come flying at you with dual warhammers screaming and grunting.

On reflection, I think thats likely it, combined with aSaPp!5@'s thought.




Actually, now that you menton it yeah, I can see that as perhaps being it. I recall my level seventeen stumbling on the big shrine and having a dozen crazy Orcs immediatly charge. That was a battle I chose to flee from rather than stand and fight.

If I had a dime for how many times that's happened to me
