Hero Background & Trivia Strategy

Lore[]

Having learned the Elfish sword art of the Rippling Leaf by observation alone, which Ju'shu only refers to as "bladerunning", this Ork fights with an unique style among his brethren, swiftly moving around the battlefield and taking down his opponents before he can react properly. But even though he might be one of the fastest Orks ever alive, there is one thing he'll never catch up to.

Like most Orks, Ju'shu is an honorable warrior who sees his goal in life to master his arts and teach them to a new generation. But unlike most Orks, the town of his ancestors had become part of Ethernight many years ago, forcing the inhabitants to find a balance between honing their art of battle and contributing to the empire through work in their city. Many fellow Orks of Ju'shu became weapon merchants, soldiers in the army, blades-for-hire or part of a group of vigilantes. Ju'shu became a messenger instead.

While Ju'shu does a good job and said job led to the observation of the Rippling Leaf-style, he secretly could never forgive the royal family for the integration of the old Orkish town. He was convinced that it costed them vast lands of natural beauty and also damaged their unique culture beyond repair.

Thus, he formed an underground group of Orks who feel the same bitterness as himself. Under the banner "No green humans!" they began hidden attacks at the public order, sowing chaos in their part of Ethernight. Other similarly radical groups allied with them. But when the disease ravaged the lands, Ju'shu, to his own surprise, showed pity for the sick humans while every other empire-opposing radical was triumphing.

Now that the Duskbringer besiege Ethernight and all mortals are fighting against them, Ju'shu has to choose between his thirst for revenge or fighting for humanity's future. Both choices are a bad one for him, but he has to choose.


"It's hard to stay honorable on the battlefield when both sides are backstabbing dastards..." — Ju'shu
