Synopsis

Orc Captain Ashnak and his war band are the much-abused foot soldiers in the Horde of Darkness, facing yet another inevitable defeat against the forces of Light. Despite being outnumbered and facing headstrong heroes, the Light always wins, and orcs die by the thousands without a second thought from their Nameless Necromancer employer. This time, however, the orcs might just have a plan of their own to change their grim destiny.
