Bahgtru

The Leg Breaker

The son of Gruumsh is known for his strength, and little else. Indeed, Bahgtru the Strong is not known for his keen eye or his sharp wit; on the contrary, Bahgtru is known for being somewhat dumb. Questions and philosophy do not give Bahgtru pause, nor limit his actions. Though oral traditions do not necessarily describe how he became known as The Leg Breaker, it is easy to make an educated guess.
Bahgtran ceremony-leaders are often the strongest orcs of their communities, and share their gods’ abhorrence for weapons, armor, and magic most of all. They teach that the orcish body is the greatest tool one has at their disposal, with its potential for ripping, crushing, and bashing. Like their god, Bahgtran worshippers respect the dwarves and their pantheon, but would like to crush their skulls with great reverence.
Bahgtrans do not maintain calendars. Any hard-won victory is cause for celebration. Though worshippers of The Strong are unwaveringly dedicated to their chieftains, if their chief is killed in a challenge of strength, Bahgtrans will eagerly celebrate their new, stronger chief, by trampling the bones of the old one.
Structures dedicated to Bahgtru are usually built of the broken bones of his followers’ conquests. Because the bones are broken as a matter of course, they make for poor construction materials on their own; they are instead mixed into a plaster solution to form walls. Bahgtru’s shrines are not elegant; nor are they structurally sound, but they stand as a testament to breaking bones.
