Synopsis
The orc brothers Balbok and Rammar are sent to scout the strength of the gnomes. They are spotted, their leader Girgas falls in the fighting, and the gnomes take his head. Chieftain Graishak orders the brothers not to come home without it before the Blood Moon. The old wizard Rurak offers them a deal: if they steal a map from the elven temple of Shakara, he will return the head. The brothers set out for the Ice Temple, where their mission leads them into conflict with dwarves, gnomes and a bounty hunter and carries consequences far beyond their clan.
