The Code of Our Fathers

To an outsider the Code appears to be a loose set of guidelines or laws. It applies to all those who call Storms Call home, and no Orc is above it
This codified set of laws is memorized by the official scribe of the Chief, and it is the chiefs duty to appoint an Orc that knows it by heart. The Code is kept physically in the Hall of Elders, and displayed publicly in Orcish for all to see. It is the pride of the village, and none are above the Code. They believe it is what makes their tribe what it is, what has allowed them to survive. To question an orcs adherence to the faith is to insult them gravely, and as such it is only done . But despite this, the code can be changed and while the orcs follow it to the letter, they will publically decry it should they disagree with it. In this sense it is something followed, but not necessarily believed in.
• The Code of our Fathers is LAW above all, and shall remain unchanged unless willed by the Clan Elders
• Should the clans unity falter, the High Shaman shall intervene
• War shall not be waged unless the majority of the clan elders are in favor
• To strike down your fellow orc or a guest, is to present yourself in the arena
• None shall be owned by another
• The Chief shall be in charge of War
• No sacrifices shall be done of orc or enemy
• The Clans of our Fathers are The Stormcallers, The Bleeding Moons, The Spirit Fangs, The Flame Callers and The Giant Paws
• To join the Clans of our Fathers, once must gain a following of four hands and the approval of the Clan Elders
• Lesser Disputes shall be settled by the Upholders of the Code
