Nardhal, a young male orc cleric, embodies the harsh prejudices and simplistic worldview of his tribe. Born into the rugged mountains where orcs have long been marginalized and feared, Nardhal's youth is marked by a fiery zeal and a deep-seated racism against other races, particularly elves and humans. Standing at a towering seven feet, his muscular frame is adorned with the traditional leather armor of his people, etched with symbols of their god, Gruumsh. His green skin is marked with scars from battles and rites of passage, and his tusks are prominently displayed, a sign of his pride in his orc heritage. His eyes, a fierce yellow, burn with a conviction that only the divine power of Gruumsh can cleanse the world of impurity.

Nardhal's life revolves around his desire to prove his worth to his tribe and to Gruumsh, seeking to elevate his status through acts of devotion and conquest. However, his path is obstructed by his own ignorance and the tribe's limited resources, which hinder his ambitions. In his quest for power and recognition, Nardhal turns to the darker aspects of his faith, engaging in rituals that promise strength but require the sacrifice of those he deems inferior. His actions, driven by a twisted interpretation of his religious teachings, seem to work as he gains a fearsome reputation among his peers, yet this only isolates him further from the broader world.

The conflicts in Nardhal's life are manifold. Internally, he struggles with the fear of inadequacy and the pressure to conform to the brutal standards of his tribe. Externally, his racist views and aggressive actions provoke conflicts with other races, leading to skirmishes and deeper enmity. His story unfolds with him becoming increasingly radicalized, culminating in a failed attempt to lead a raid against a human settlement, which results in his capture and eventual execution. Nardhal's tale is one of a young orc whose potential for leadership is overshadowed by his bigotry and the destructive path he chooses in the name of his god.
