Shagzha Nightfang was born on the jagged ridges of the Howling Wastes, daughter to a lesser chieftain whose clan kept to the old orcish gospel—strength is law, but cunning is its shadow. From her earliest days, Shagzha was marked as different: while her peers gloried in the clash of steel, she watched and listened, learning the secrets whispered behind closed tent-flaps. Her first great test came during the Festival of Storms, when a rival clan attempted to sabotage the sacred fires. While others sought vengeance with axes, Shagzha unmasked the traitors with a web of careful questions and a sharp tongue, earning her a place as the clan’s trusted investigator. As years passed, Shagzha’s reputation grew—she became a warlock, striking a pact with an enigmatic entity she claims came to her in a vision atop the festival ridge. With her gift for deception and a mind honed for unraveling mysteries, she now acts as an emissary and shadow-counselor to the Ironfang Legion, manipulating events from behind the scenes. Yet, those close to her sense she is driven by more than clan loyalty. Some whisper she seeks a lost gospel, an ancient secret hidden since the last great festival—a secret she will stop at nothing to uncover.
