Warhammer Online : Age of Reckoning
The starting zone of the Greenskins in Mythic Entertainment’s Warhammer Online, Mount Bloodhorn, is very fitting for their race. It has a dark foreboding feel to it. You start your journey inside the mouth of a small cave shaped like an Orc Head, with the opening resembling his mouth. When you first exit the cave you find it is very loud and you can hear yelling and grunting in the background, along with the sound of clanging metal. Crudely made wooden structures are strewn about with the occasional dwarf skeleton hanging from them, and giant trees made into torches sticking up from the ground. Greenskins live in stark contrast to the technologically savvy dwarfs that they are entrenched in battle with.
Upon exiting the cave, the very first quest given is a small yet fierce goblin named Scribbiz, he asks, well more tells, you to go and take a look at the Bloody Sun Boyz Banner. He is not a very friendly goblin but you will find most aren't. Orcs judge your worth on size and this leaves the tiny goblins on the lower end of the totem pole. What they lack in size, they tend to make up for in cunning and find creative ways to get what they need. Examining the banner unlocks a piece of Lore in your Tome of knowledge, which is basically a running encyclopedia of everything you come in contact with in the game, and also keeps tracks your achievements, good and bad. This first unlock of the Tome starts to try to draw you in to the rather large lore of Warhammer. The lore can seem a little overwhelming but you’re introduced to it slowly and not just thrown in blindly.
Your second quest giver is a very intimidating fellow named Skarzag, a giant Orc decked out in full Armor, including shoulder pads made of boars, holding a giant axe and shield. He is also sitting on a very large, angry, and hungry looking dragon. He gets you right into fighting. You must go kill some dwarfs, or as they are called by the Orcs, Stunties, the mortal enemy of the Greenskin. You proceed down a short path to your left, and are kind of taken back by the site of giant statues of Dwarfs, flanked with dwarfs charging all around it in a futile effort to gain ground. If you are not familiar with Warhammer lore, you quickly realize that this area was once home to the Dwarfs, and it was taken from them by The Bloody Sun Boyz. The dwarfs try to capture it back, but are simply outnumbered by the Greenskins. You run into this area and get your feet wet with some killing; this is what we all came here for right? You do your standard quest, kill 5 dwarfs, and return. It is not enough to kill these dwarfs, we must also humiliate them. So as a follow up quest, we have to take a handful of mud, and cover a dwarf statue in it, just to rub things in.
