Giselle seemed to straighten just a hair at the mention of Bedegar's military prowess. "I served under the Baron back in the day," she said. "The news came as a shock to me too. But the White Tusks were always a cut above your average orc in terms of size and strength. A few of my old army pals say that since Dorokor took over they've somehow gotten smarter and more savage all at once."<br/><br/>Giselle handed off a few drinks and started filling more, as she continued to talk. "A friend of mine, Auric, said he was in a skirmish with a warband recently. Now, Bedegar's troops have drilled for weathering an orc charge, but Auric says he's never seen orcs charge like that. Just crushed their front line in an instant." The barkeep shakes her head, as if to drive off the mental image.
