Interview with Ulf

Posted by amaranth on 15-Jul-2009 (5291 reads)

Hi folks, Aveyond: Gates of Night will be out next week if all goes well. This is chapter 2 in the Orbs of Magic series. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the next interview. It was so much fun to do!

Interview with Ulf

What is your name?
Ulf the Fifty-Sixth.

Where are you from?
The Orc Empire.

You are the smallest Orc I've ever seen. How does it feel to be so tiny?
I used to see it as a burden. When I was younger, I couldn't compete against my brothers for food and nearly starved to death. Luckily, I learned I had a brain.

Most Orcs never leave the Orc Empire. What encouraged you to go?
Besides being framed for murder by my brother and escaping from prison? Hmm... well, I feel that the world has given Orcs a bad name. I have always dreamed of traveling around the world and teaching people about the kind and gentle ways of the Orcs.

I've never thought of Orcs as kind and gentle...
We'll maybe I exaggerated a bit. Still, an Orc will always tell the truth.

Oh really?
Oh yes. Orcs don't like politics. If an Orc is going to eat you, he will tell you. In fact, most Orcs will describe in detail how they will eat you so that you understand the full process before they begin.

Wow, that is... disturbing.
It depends upon how you look at it.

Do you have a name for your er... cause?
The name of the cause is Orcs have Feelings Too. Orcs may appear to have tough exteriors, but they don't like being laughed at.

Have you cleared this "Orcs have Feelings" project with your emperor?
No way. The Emperor would never agree to such a thing. I'd be thrown into prison... again.

Interesting... very interesting. Well Ulf, It has been a pleasure chatting with you. I hope we learn more about your homeland in the next chapter of the game.

Thank you. Oh here, can you hand a few of these out for me?

Ulf gives Amaranth a large bag of "Orcs have Feelings Too" picket signs.

I would appreciate if you would hand these out to all of your friends.

Uh, okay. I'm sure there are a few Amaranthians who will rally around your cause... as strange as it may seem. Take care, Ulf.

A parting treat for you:

Amaranthian Joined: 2008/2/19 From: Gold: 633	Re: Interview with Ulf Mel here seems determined, a bit of hatred and very thin harsh body to run away. Poor Ulf, he’s ill-suited to his species. In Tolkien’s system of species, Orcs are the bad humans, those who exploit, very materialistic, industry. The devise made me think of “devil may cry” Could Ulf say "Ouf!" (French fo phew)outside the Orc Kingdom?

She is the same color as Tei'jal is in the cover of LoT. Perhaps that is because it's night, but Galahad on the LoT cover still has a regular color. Mel just screams Vampire! at me...
