Vraul

A Terrible Truth

Vraul decided one morning to inquire his father about the figure that had questioned their family's honor. Soran grunted and refused to answer for some time, but as sunset grew close and they had managed only meager scraps for the day, he sat Vraul down by the campfire with a sigh. Soran admitted that their family does indeed hail from the Laughing Skull clan many ages ago, and that they were exiled from Tanaan due to terrible circumstances. However, he informed Vraul that it was not their family that had done any deceiving - rather, one night, during a terrible storm, their ancestors joined up to take down a tremendous saberon and its ilk that were threatening to encroach upon their orcish huts. As the Jawrip ancestors came upon their prey, they found that Thandolcran's ancestors had struck a terrible deal with the saberon pack, promising them a mighty feast of orcish meat so long as the saberon promised never again to hunt in their lands again.

Finding themselves surrounded, the Vraul and Soran's ancestors fought hard and killed plenty of Thandolcran's ancestors alongside plenty of saberon. Victorious, the Jawrip family returned to their camp to find themselves branded as traitors, and many of the family were taken away in shackles to be sacrificed. The few Jawrips who escaped fled far and away, and established themselves alongside the Frostwolf clan in Frostfire Ridge. Ever since that day, the Jawrips and the Laughing Skulls held a tumultuous relationship, and once Thandolcran himself had taken charge of the family, tensions grew to such the extent that heavy blood was drawn. Soran explained this as reason for their family often traversing to and from Nagrand, in hopes to evade the sights of Thandolcran and his murderous rampage against their kin.
