Gro'tuk

Gro'tuk, meaning "duel of brothers," is a tradition of that runs deep in the orcish culture, with stories of legendary duels passed down from generation to generation. Many orcs dream of one day participating in a Gro'tuk and becoming the stuff of legend themselves.
To initiate a Gro'tuk, one must formally challenge their opponent, either in front of a crowd or in private. The rules of the duel are then agreed upon, with the stakes often being very high. For some, it is a matter of honor and pride, while for others, it is a matter of life and death.
The combatants are responsible for providing their own weapons and armor, which can vary greatly depending on the agreed-upon rules. Some may choose to fight bare-handed, while others may prefer a heavy two-handed weapon or a shield and sword. Magic is strictly prohibited in most Gro'tuk, as it is seen as dishonorable and unfair.
The combat itself is a spectacle to behold, with the two opponents facing off in an open area while the rest of the orcish community watches. The first strike can come at any moment, with the duelists using all their skills and strength to try to overpower their opponent.
Although most Gro'tuk are fought to the death, there are some instances where the fight is stopped before that point. This can be because one combatant yields or is rendered unconscious, or because the agreed-upon rules dictate a non-fatal outcome.
Win or lose, those who participate in a Gro'tuk are forever marked by the experience. The victor gains respect and honor from their community, while the loser may be shamed and cast out. Regardless of the outcome, the tradition of Gro'tuk remains a vital part of orcish culture, symbolizing their values of strength, honor, and resilience.
