Personal history
Ulorga's mother, Jagorra, was a member of the Blindtooth clan, west of the Red River forest. While part of a scouting party, they were beset by cremonian hunters, who killed her clanmates, but left her badly beaten but alive. That night, the hunters took turns having their way with her, and in the morning, left her for dead. She didn't die, but knew she could not return to her home after being defiled the way she was. She made her way into the Red River forest, looking for a place to hide. While she was usually great with direction, she found herself constantly being turned around and walking in circles. Exhaustion and delirium overtook her and she collapsed.
When she awoke, she found her wounds healed, and a sack of elvish food rations and a full waterskin next to her, though she was alone in the forest. She ate and regained some strength, and pushed forward into the wilderness. She made her way to Everwood, but being an orc, found no kind reception. The people eyed her with suspicion, and a few even met her with open hostility. She moved on quickly, staying off main roads and trails. While sheltering herself in a clump of bushes, she began to feel ill. It was a different kind of sickness than she'd experienced before, and she came to realize she was pregnant.
With belly full of ever-growing child, she made her way south, hoping to find a warmer welcome in the town of Loyalton. This, unfortunately, was not quite the case. She was denied a room at the inn, not that she had anything worth trading for the room anyway. She was shooed away from everywhere she went, with the exception of the Temple of the Thirteen. The priests of the temple allowed her to stay there overnight, and though she knew very few words in common, a cleric used some divine magic to speak with her, and she told her story. The cleric's heart was moved, and he told her he knew of a merchant heading to Humbolt in the morning, and that he would help her get situated there.
The next morning, Jagorra met Kaskok Tunzig, an orc miller, who happily brought her with him to Humbolt. He and his wife Dzanda set her up in their son Brosk's old room, as he had moved to Velsia more than a year earlier. They were good to her, and Dzanda was the one to eventually deliver Ulorga into the world. The three orcs lived happily despite their modest means. Kaskok would teach Jagorra how to mill the wheat they would grow in their field.
Ulorga was a precocious youth, always going on adventures despite her mother's warnings about trusting cremonians. When met with slurs or ridicule, she would give it right back to them. She was always getting into fights with boys her age or slightly older. When she would get angry, she would show a ferocity that the children of Humbolt were terrified of. She gained the nickname Snaps by her peers, for the way she would go suddenly from playful taunting to murderous rage.
When she was old enough, she joined the Humbolt night guard under Sandon Woeshade. Sandon looked past the girl's skin color and saw her fighter's spirit. He took it upon himself to train her in combat. While she was fairly good at sparring, something would always set her off, and when she started to rage, she was known to snap her wooden training sword in half, usually over Sandon's helm. Sandon would then make a joke like "save that for the invaders." His way of not making her feel embarrassed for her outbursts endeared him to her. She would become one of his fiercest supporters, and got into a few bar fights defending him from fellow guards and townsfolk alike.
She would ultimately leave Humbolt with Sandon as he went off to track down the Black Hound, and adventured with him until he retired. In their last fight together, she had brought down a red dragon by leaping off a cart, grabbing the dragon's tail, climbing up onto its back as it thrashed and tried to break her hold. Gripping the back of its neck with her thick thigh muscles, she brought her greatsword down at the bace of its skull, and with a wrenching motion, severed the beast's spinal cord, causing the dragon to fall limply from the sky and land with a crunch of rock and bone into a nearby hillside.
When Sandon and the rest of the party decided to head back to civilization to live out the rest of their years in peace, Ulorga said her tearful goodbyes and traveled further east to find more adventure. Her current whereabouts are unknown.
