Orsinium calls back the orcs
5. First seed 5. Era 2
Unexpected! The kingdom of Orsinium calls all Orsimer, also known as orc back to Orsinium. Several hundred courier were sent out to Tamriel. Their mission is to deliver a message to all orcs. This message, which is only intendet to orcish eyes includes the order to come back to Orsinium. We were able to engage him in a conversation. He explained that he has no additional information about the reason for this callback. On the question of what working orcs are supposed to do, he explaind that this callback was rated as spontaneous holiday in the orsimer-Culture and that every orsimer has the right to trvel to Orsinium. After this he showed our reporter an officical document from the Elder-Council, which confirmed this holiday. Every orsimer has now exactly 14 additional free days for this trip. Orsimer with a longer way would get even more.
Something like this actually happend once before as the Redguard landed on Tamriel and Orsinium were looted the very first time in history. Because of their strength the Orsimer could hold Orsinium for more than 30 years against the Redgaurds. The reason for this callback is unknown. But the consequence of this Orsimer hike is not. Two days after the sent out of the couriers some legion bases in Glenumbra and Stormharbor reported a decrease of 50% of armed forces! The legionsleader of the Imperial City Sorcius Andar noticed after demand that 30% of the whole strength of the Legion were Orsimer-Based. On the question how the legion want to react to the low amount of soldiers he answered that the percentage of Orcissh-Soldiers in the Imperial City were much lower than in Hammerfall and that he is working on an emergence-Work-Plan, to ensure the standard quality of sefety in the city.
At the same time Andar explained that the Legion is going to activate the ?Spontaneous-Recruiting-Program“. So it would be possible for warriors, mercenarys and citiziens to join the Legion or any Gaurd, for the coming two Weeks, and to earn a higher fee. This registration lasts only for this time and its not necessery or mandatory. This is a good way to join the Legion or any Guard if you have been rejected before, because the requirements are now significantly lower According to Andar. The question if the retreat of the Orcs could cause a kind of threat were dismissed by him and he wanted to express that both the Orcs and Orsinium itself, are respected parts of the Empire, especially after the independence of Hammerfell. He also asked every citizien of Tamriel to ask every orc they met, to be sure that they're doing their duty for Orsinium.
We can't wait to know what the cause of this hike is. If we get more information you can know it first in the black horse courier."
