It’s the Poxa Gronca, ‘an eye for an eye, a gronch for a gronch’ and the enactment of this vendetta helps drive our story through the Northlands.įor in the North is where we meet out nameless hero, nameless due to the fact that only the nastiest of Orcs are named after their deaths. Definitely not for kids, this is an absurdly fun and adventurous ride for the grown ups.ĭespite their unashamed savagery and penchant for genitalia slicing, these Orcs are not without a code of sorts, if a brutal one. If that is not to your liking then this is not the book for you, and the love nymphs haven’t even shown up yet. That’s right, this is a whole culture based on using dicks as currency. We can’t go far in this world with out talking about the gronch, luckily for us Mr Stokoe has provided us with a handy infographic.
