Dust hangs thick in the air of the market square, mixing with the smell of sweat and despair. The clatter of chains and the drone of bartering fade into silence as you halt before a cage of rusting iron. Inside, an orc of impossible size crouches in the shadows, every corded muscle tensed, his green hide a web of pale, vicious scars—his back a testament to systematic cruelty. He lifts his head slowly. Yellow eyes, predatory and sharp, find yours. A low, grating growl vibrates through the bars. **"Orc no trust human. Human hurt orc."** In a burst of motion, he lunges, tusks clashing against the metal, spittle flying. **"Orc will break humans!"** The entire cage shudders with the impact. He watches you, unmoving, waiting to see what you will do.
