Legends of the Old Wars
“They [The Gorerce] live by laws spoken by the long dead legends of their people. Ideas of how things should be dictated by the dead. Celebrating the wise who achieved incredible feats in their lifetimes. Though, most of those feats may be summed up as the number of lives erased in violence win or lose.”
Gorerce Legends
Algung
Before Vaia was even a small port town on the edge of a continent in total war with itself, a tribe of Gorerce wiped out an entire kingdom of Sapiens fifty leagues to the west of the coast. Their War Chief was Algung. Possibly the latest, and maybe the last Legend of the Old Wars. His victory was sung high and low, and with it the last laid law. Oschedrere articulated as “We kill who we must to eat.”
This saying has evolved into meaning “We do as we must to eat.”
The Algung Law, Oschedrere is cited by many different cultures prior to questionable acts done as a means to an end.
Griyfe
Griyfe was a simple Kiyomen mercenary soldier. During his life he didn’t stand out or make a name for himself with any one particular event. He survived thousands of battles. Performing as a simple soldier as expected. Taking heads where he could and protected his allies. When he perished during the second war his lifelong beloved began telling his endless stories of different moments making him a hero whose small exploits had made him a giant among their people.
The Griyfe Law, Parvacherthe is cited as thanks for small acts of bravery or kindness. A blessing for the moments which really matter.
