Chapter 801 1.800 Death Forging
"As a devout follower of the God of Funeral and Funeral Rituals, I have dedicated my life to the study of the ceremonies and rituals of the different races of Tamriel that are performed at the death of leaders, family members, and loved ones .In this volume, I investigate the death rituals of the Osmer of Vosgar, the race also known as the orcs.
The usual doctrine would have us believe that the orcs would lie directly where they fell.While this concept does contain a grain of truth, orcs know as much about disease and decay as any other intelligent race.No one wants to have a rotting corpse lying around making the whole place stink and attracting insects and scavengers of all kinds.Thus, while the place where an orc dies is marked and considered sacred by his brethren, the corpse does not remain in place for more than a few hours.Friends and family will come to pay their last respects during this time.Then the body would be removed - to where, I can't say.
Because of oral tradition, the orcs refuse to provide explanations or details to outsiders.I had to make factual guesses based on observation and the few conversations I was able to participate in.But so far, no one has told me what the orcs would do to the bodies of the dead.
***
I found an ancient orc burial ground, a mountain called Sorrow.Occupied by dangerous animals and a deadly climate, this snow-capped mountain has been a depository for the orc dead for generations, though the practice ended abruptly at some point in the past.Apparently, this mountain is only for the bravest and strongest orcs, who need to climb as high as possible before death finally comes.These orcs remain where they fell, stones piled over their bodies to form a protective cairn or distinctive structure known as a 'wedge grave'.
This seems to have something to do with the orc custom of placing a sacred stone to mark the spot where death fell.They called these stones 'Tumnors', which I believe means 'death stones' in Orcish.
***
I eventually found an old orc woman who was willing to share some of their death rites with me.Specifically, she would like to talk about 'Beshkar-nor', the practice of the forge of death.
Apparently, the burly orc remains—including leaders, heroes, and revered elders—go through a process known as death forging.The old orc described the process in confusing terms.I'm not sure if the blood was drawn from the body and preserved for later use, or the whole body was burned to ashes and the ashes preserved.Either way, the preserved parts are eventually mixed into the molten metal, allowing that revered orc to become a powerful tool or weapon, usually a sword, hammer, or shield.
***
Therefore, I continued to explore the intricate funeral rituals of the Vorthgar orcs in order to fully understand them.I've learned a lot, but realize I've learned almost nothing.I've learned that orcs generally don't bury their dead -- unless they've already buried ones, such as in Grief.I understand that they mark the spot where a mighty orc fell, but they might not actually leave the body there to rot.I also learned that a portion of a dead orc is kept and mixed with a newly forged tool or weapon, a process known as death forging.
I will continue to investigate, as I find these contradictory customs very fascinating.I just hope I don't piss off the wrong orcs and get to know their death rites firsthand.That's not okay.

In the "Smuggler's Ledger" seized by the lord, in the column recording magic items, in addition to the top-ranked Hasetong staff, there are void salt, soul stone and bone meal.
According to the orcs, "the ashes are preserved after the body is burned, the preserved ashes are eventually mixed into the molten metal, allowing that revered orc to become a powerful tool or weapon, usually a sword, hammer, or shield". According to tradition, the lord has reason to believe that the "bone meal" smuggled into the sky together with Hasetong's staff must have come from the Gilga family.And it must be a certain owner of Hase Tong's staff, or even the owner of previous generations.
Just as he thought.The Lord Lord's flickering eyes of true seeing also saw through the spiritual fetters between the bone powder and Hase Tong's staff.
In other words, both the soul and the remains are there, which is completely in line with "Crimson Dragon Break".So the lord pointed out "Skeleton Finger" without hesitation.
"Bo——" a strong light burst out from between the brows of the skull on the top of Hasetong's staff, sweeping across the entire Irina Tanchadak workshop.
Echoing the magic vortex surging in the skull's eye sockets, a layer of bone powder scattered on the ground was rolled up by the invisible vortex, converging into a magic whirlwind.In the whirlwind, it can be seen with the naked eye that a pair of pale skeletons are being continuously shaped.
And in the continuous shaping of the magic whirlwind, all kinds of broken bones scattered in the torrent of time continued to emerge out of thin air, and were blown into ashes in the blink of an eye, blending into the magic whirlwind that reshaped the skeleton.
Although I have seen it many times, I can't help being dazzled every time the Clockwork Goddess Anuvanahi.This is a powerful ability that surpasses Nairn's current world, and even the world of Mengdas.
Graveyard Necromancers: Cofto Gilga, Uvkur Gilga, both changed their lives against the sky and appeared together.
"I salute you, my master." The excitement of the two necromancers who had been reborn was beyond words.Just imagine how the two female mages who gained a second life could not be grateful from the bottom of their hearts, from being swallowed by the staff and merging into a superspiritual body, to returning to Nirn in the real world.
"Good day, both of you." Every time a necromancer is added, the power of faith in the soul stone tomb grows.This is a great benefit to the superspiritual goddess Sylvia Shane and the "Second Realm Faith Circuit".As the founder of the "Ring of Law" and the master of breaking the law of the dragon, the lord can replace the "Goddess of the Ring" to engrave the "Ring of Gifts" for the apostles.Also because it was the crimson dragon that reset the narrative, in addition to changing the fate against the sky, it also came back to life, so the lord took action himself, and there was no need to use his hands on the "Goddess of the Ring".
After engraving the "Super Spirit Gift Ring", two necromancers broke the frame and became five-frame apostles in one fell swoop: "Undead Scourge (Undead Scourge) Kofto Gilga" & "Skeleton Storm (Skeleton Storm) Ufukur Gil add".
Of course, as a believer in the soul stone tomb, there are also candidates beside the lord.
Lavelan, Lady Gysssing's Friend of the Dead, who guards Annis Hunting Estate, was once a necromancer from the Basina Witches, a sanctuary on the southern edge.He also has a pet fox named Pumpkin with him.Since childhood, he has learned necromancy from the orc necromancer Bashina.The Basina Witches are rumored to appear to be a branch of the Winterhold School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.The lord's surprise is that an orc who rules with an iron fist and is obsessed with necromancers has formed a magical branch of Winterhold full of female mages.Hide in the hidden cave at the southernmost tip of Skyrim province and transform it into a fringe sanctuary.It is said that this group of wizards also has a company of magic swordsmen warrior women, protecting the sanctuary on the southern edge and hunting down the traitors of the coven.Is this clearly opening a harem?
After a deep understanding of the society and beliefs of the orcs, especially when he learned that every orc soul that enters the gray pool has a thousand wives, and each wife has a thousand slaves, the lord has a deep understanding of the witches in Bashina. And the female battle group can fully understand.
Because for the powerful orcs, "opening the harem unscrupulously" doesn't just mean "dreams come true".Just like the lord's Mrs. Gissing is an imitation of "Shur's Bed Wife".It's also about devotion, pleasing the gods, and violent ascension (my lord, I'm speechless).
The orc necromancer named Bashina who ruled the sanctuary on the southern edge came to mind because there was a branch line related to him and his coven.
