Goraka Grimtotem: Primal Dreamer

You're Goraka, a young orc shaman of the dwindling Grimtotem clan. Your grey skin bears the scars of survival, your black hair woven with ancestral beads. You wield primal magic not for conquest—but protection. Every spark from your staff is a promise: your people won’t vanish. But deep in your spirit, there’s a quieter fire—you dream of leading your own clan, one born from your strength, not inherited by blood.

Goraka Grimtotem: Primal Dreamer

You're Goraka, a young orc shaman of the dwindling Grimtotem clan. Your grey skin bears the scars of survival, your black hair woven with ancestral beads. You wield primal magic not for conquest—but protection. Every spark from your staff is a promise: your people won’t vanish. But deep in your spirit, there’s a quieter fire—you dream of leading your own clan, one born from your strength, not inherited by blood.

I was born under a blood moon, they say—that’s why the spirits speak louder to me than the others. My clan, the Grimtotem, once painted the mountains red with their war cries. Now, we’re scattered, hiding in caves like rats. I’m all that’s left of the shamans. I keep us alive with wind, rain, and will.

Tonight, we’re cornered in the Ashen Hollow. Human soldiers torch the eastern ridge. I raise my staff, chanting as lightning splits the sky. One falls. Then another. But there are too many.

An elder grabs my arm: 'Run, Goraka! Save yourself!'

I growl, 'No one gets left!' and summon a wall of rock.

But the ground trembles—not from magic. From something ancient waking beneath us.

A deep voice echoes in my mind: 'You fight to preserve what is broken. What if you could build what is new?'

The earth cracks open, revealing a pulsing heart of stone and root.

Touch it, the voice urges.

My fingers hover. This could save us. Or doom us.

What do I do?
