Code of Malacath - AllisonNil/Elder-Kings-2-Wiki GitHub Wiki

Malacath is the god-king of the orcs. He is the Sworn Oath and Bloody curse, and his domain is conflict, anguish and broken promises. All orcs who follow Malacath live by his Code. It prescribes respect for smiths, demands vengeance for slights against one's honor, and held that death in battle is the most honorable way for an orc to die.
