Drummers(CoE)

Drummers

Although orcs were created for battle, they are not perfect warriors. The Blood God not only instilled in them the urge to kill, but also reverence for their master, whom they fear. And so, orcs gladly kill for their master, offering the blood of fallen foes as a sacrifice, but should they lose faith in either victory or leader, their fear is awakened, paralysing and weakening their desire to kill. For this reason, orcs seldom travel alone, and an orc leader must be strict and strong. The traditions of the orcs have handed down a tried-and-true method to ensure the courage of the hordes in battle: The drum. The orcish war drums sound whenever the hordes go into battle. Their thunder bodes ill to their enemies and promises victory to the orcs, reminding each warrior that the horde is with him. Drummers march into battle alongside their armies and even if the battle should turn against them, no matter how hopeless their situation may become - no orc will lose his courage as long as the drums sound.
