The story of chaldurn a boy raised in a tiny village know was Kolstock. Chaldurn has no siblings an only child. His father was a soldier in the guard that protects the town. His mother was the only source of entertainment for the young boy other then his only friend Mikal.

All seemed well in Kolstock but with the war between Goldark and Verloren The two major powers in this land. the guard have been on edge they must be weary of raiding party's from the lands of Goldark these where to be no normal raiding party's as Humans are not the only inhabitants of Goldark these lands are home to none other then Orcs and shadow claws and many more we will come to know. the shadow claws are the Horse of the Orcs much larger then a horse. Only a creature as vile and deadly as them could hope to tame them. They howl as a wolf would but they do not move in packs they are creatures of solitude with these dangers to look out for in the darkness been a guard was no easy feat there had been reports of raiding's in the villages close to Kolstock the guards where on edge as a raiding party could show up at any moment.

For defence the guards would be outfitted with light chain mail and heavy axes swords would not be very effective against these brutes. there skin as strong as iron there teeth as shard as razors Orc carry hammers axes all two handed weapons it is rare to see an Orc without a axe.
