Backstory (Version 1, NG):
I, Barkenzar Barkolovar, have heard the song of Sarenrae. My brothers fight and though I am too timid to speak in public and my words come out wrong sometimes, I wish to earn my freedom so I can show other orcs through good deeds that you do not need to be a brute to be strong, as there are other uses for strength. You see, dear reader, I was born as a 5th generation slave. My great great grandparents were savage barbarians who stalked what is now the Hold of Belkzen. My parents told me about them when we were working the fields one day. They were captured by slavers and bred for their strength, as great strength is required to pull in the big crop yields. My masters serve Sarenrae, and it wasn't until my parents started to take the faith seriously that my line was redeemed. I was born and trained in the ways of Sarenrae to the best of my parents' ability, and while I am no cleric, I understand the faith well enough to accept my goddesses simple core tenets of being meek, defending the weak, and always offering forgiveness if it is sought. My spoken words betray me, but if I can complete a simple mission showing I am a good orc, I can go free and perhaps try to help other orcs see the light, even if only through my actions.
Backstory (Version 2, LN):
I, Barkenzar Barkolovar, have processes the unquestionable logic of Abadar. My brothers fight amongst themselves like fools and though I am too poor at reading others' emotions to speak well in public and my words come out wrong sometimes, I wish to earn my freedom so I can show other orcs through lawful deeds that you do not need to be a brute to be strong, as there are other uses for strength. You see, reader, I was born as a 5th generation slave. My great great grandparents were savage barbarians who stalked what is now the Hold of Belkzen. My parents told me about them when we were working the fields one day. They were captured by slavers and bred for their strength, as great strength is required to pull in the big crop yields. This is just, as it helps the city grow. My masters serve Abadar, and it wasn't until my parents started to take the faith seriously that my line was redeemed. I was born and trained in the ways of Abadar to the best of my parents' ability, and while I am not a cleric, I understand the faith well enough to accept my god's simple core tenets of being lawful, punishing lawbreakers, and always seeking to expand civilization. It is only logical since if all can be made to follow the law of the land, all can be strong, all can be civilized, all can be wealthy, and all can be predicted. My spoken words betray me, but if I can complete a simple mission showing I am a lawful orc, I can go free and perhaps try to help other orcs see the light, even if only through my actions.
