“Ey! Pug zhuw meeb lat brandz ib lat wunt tu kum rayd, uz nub tak'r ah skah hed wib uz dat nub gruk Klompin! Ib lat hab da brandz den lat kin bekum ah Gruntee!”

Orc branding is the system to designate the four types of mandatory training in orcish tactics required for all orcs. When an orc attends Grunt-hosted training or bootcamp for a particular brand they receive the mark into their flesh to signify they have been drilled in those tactics. This can be one-on-one training, small groups, or full blown bootcamp.

Brands will be displayed in game inside an orcs character profile. The Format will be [Brands] Followed by the following:

• “Crossheal”
• “Krimp”
• “Defense”
• “Discipline”

They will also be displayed on the forum Roster which will be handled by moderators.

“Yub meeb kin zee lat hab got da brandz, uz kin blah dat am reeli ah Bluudklan Urk nuw. Id'z tyme lat gu awn ah kwezt tu bekum Maubur”
