This is story three, but there's enough back story written in to start here if you wanted. This one is five parts long, so give yourself time to finish. Then go read the other two. They're worth it."

We revisit the land of Naar Rhoan, and Riaag Bough-Breaker and Sarouth White-Hair who live there. The land where orcs are trying to civilize themselves, learning to eat bread, and in this tale, fighting the ghosts of both the past and the present."

	<BLOCKQUOTE>~~The problem with bandits~~, ~~Riaag mused~~ to ~~himself as he stirred the pot~~, ~~was~~ that ~~they were just too damn stupid~~ to ~~know when~~ to ~~quit~~. Someone who stole to feed a hungry mouth could be converted, and someone who fought because they were scared could be soothed, but someone who made trouble simply because they had a sliver of opportunity was a particular species of dickhead that they didn't truck with much in Naar Rhoan. ~~The most recent crop~~ of ~~bandits~~ had ~~been a gaggle of stragglers from~~ the ~~northern mountains—dressed in colors almost certainly stolen—who'd tried~~ to ~~ambush~~ some ~~traveling merchants~~. ~~Said merchants~~ had ~~luckily been within earshot of~~ a ~~patrol band. Those who threatened the safety of the basin were dealt with harshly by the Rhoanish; it wasn't like they'd stopped being orcs the minute they sat down~~ to ~~till fields~~.<br><br>		<BLOCKQUOTE>So Sarouth had led and Riaag had followed, and then Sarouth had beheld a vision that sent them down into the lowlands to start dicking around with agriculture, and somehow that had worked out. People had come to hear about his new way. People had stayed to work the fields or tend the herds or watch over the previous two groups. Naar Rhoan had started appearing on trade routes. After entirely too many years of not saying anything Riaag had even confessed his love to Sarouth, which had more or less gone the same way as his witnessing had, which was to say Sarouth had stubbornly refused it for some reason before everything clicked into place. It was everything Riaag had prayed for back when he was still a small, scared child eating garbage to survive.<br><br>

	~~A skull bobbed to the top~~ of ~~the boiling water and stared at him with empty sockets. "Shoulda~~ fucked ~~off back when we done warned you the first two times, asshole," said Riaag to the skull before he thwacked it with his ladle. It went back under the surface with a <i>bloop~~.~~</i>~~</blockquote>		And then, of course, things had gotten all fucked up.</blockquote>
