Chapter 22: A Monstrous Orc
"The world of Dynasties Online is massive with many secret and hidden things which can happen in the world and break what was thought to be inviolable rules of the game."
"I was unlucky enough to come across one of these things in my first experience playing the game."
"Naguk!"
"A monstrous creature which I thought could not exist in the world of DO opening my eyes to the vastness of this game."
"At this point, though, it should not be called a game...."
"But a second world!"
Reginald Coulan, creator and head of House Aurellion in Dynasties Online.

Lucius silently rode in the rainy night, a flash of thunder briefly lighting him as he motioned his arm forward, indicating for his men to their attack.
Orcs armed with axes, light leather armour and shields made with animal skin lay scattered in long grass in ambush positions below him. Some of the bigger, green-skinned muscled orcs are covered with furs of bears, boars and buffalo, an indication of their marital prowess and might due to having been able to hunt such vicious beasts acting as status symbols in their marital might-driven culture.
Lucius had to be careful as what looked like a large furred beast seemed to be sleeping near the orcs, which was nearly 10 feet in size. Lucius did not want to wake up or get the beast to follow them and cause unnecessary damage to his men.
’We are outnumbered enough as it is! We don’t need to be losing men to some beast! Besides, I imagine that hide of the beast will be tough to get past, and Leon is not in his best condition right now, so I don’t know how an encounter like that may go.
