Orc Eye of Gruumsh

An Orc Eye of Gruumsh

  When an orc slays an elf in Gruumsh 'One Eye''s name and offers the corpse of its foe as a sacrifice to the god of slaughter, an aspect of the god might appear. This aspect demands an additional sacrifice: one of the orc's eyes, symbolizing the loss Gruumsh suffered at the hands of his greatest enemy Elos.   If the orc plucks out one of its eyes, Gruumsh might grant the orc spellcasting ability and special favour, along with the right to call itself an Eye of Gruumsh. When not using their auguries to advise their war chiefs, these savage devotees of the god of slaughter hurl themselves into battle, their weapons stained with blood.
