Orrishish Weaponry of the Steel Realms
There are many instances of Orrish Weaponry of the Steel Realms. The Orrish of Helca are known for their nasty tactics and unlimited hatred in fighting. Their weapons reflect this intent to inflict maximum suffering. Darkland Rangers are known to have a difficult trial to make themselves proof against the toxins of Orrish weapons. Most of the weapons are crude – made from flint, stone, and scavenged materials – these are cut and shaped in the “chipping room” of the Basic Orrish Cave Settlement. They raid for better armaments, but few have the wherewithal to care for it correctly in the hostile, dank environment of the Dark Lands. So called “blood weapons” are made from Geoxylish along with Ork blood, bone, & sinew soaked in bloodworm pit and blessed.
Dark-Spawn Loot/Goods: The selling of Orrish made goods/loot outside the Dark Lands has serious issues, and often the best value is 10% of normal.
Hunting Hands: Also called “the hands in the dark”; The priests of the Church of Darkness have a vile and loathsome practice of creating undead animated skittering hands that prowl their warrens and lurk at the edges of raiding parties. They have been known to be used as sentries when the sun is out to warn sleeping concealed/covered raiders. The particularly swift and potent means of making these is from the dead of their own and captives. Even if the captives are taken for slaves, they really only need one hand; It is even more satisfying to hear the screams of captives after explaining to them that their hands will be used to find and strangle children of their bloodline in their cribs!
Wormblat
Wormblat is a the name the Orrish give the “poison” that they generally use on their weapons. They apply this to their weapons with tips and blades using a mixture of offal, blood, and feces. It gets its name because the pouches holding this are soon crawling with maggots. This causes all wounds to apply a Minor Infection. It is said the Orrish trap masters are the ones who have mastered the making of this.Burrowing Flint/Heartseeker
Many Orrish weapons are made of stone and flint. Flint that was mined in the Dark Lands, while those lands were the Dark Lands for a thousand years. Taken and bathed in the blood of captives in the darklight of the Murkenstone, they become deadly weapons, also called “Heartseeker” – when they strike, a piece breaks off and seeks the heart of the enemy.
