A Human baby rescued from a burning stable and raised by an Orc Shaman; he shared her gift for speaking with ancestors and met his mother's ghost during his rite of passage.
The baby Arrio was rescued from a burning stable by Orcs fleeing the Bull Duchy. {\n}He had been pulled from the dead arms of his Human mother by the tribe's Shaman, who raised him as one of her own. {\n}She soon found that the orphan shared her sensitivity for communication with the ancestors.{\n}It was during his rite of passage to become a Shaman himself that he encountered his mother's ghost, wandering in fear amidst a horde of Orc spirits who seemed just as surprised as he was by the woman's presence.{\n}Arrio's mother said she had been looking for him to ensure that he was safe. She kissed him and immediately passed on to Asha, leaving her son to his destiny. {\n}When Arrio returned from his dream trance, he explained to his brothers and sisters the portents of his vision, and his Shaman foster-mother answered him in true Orc fashion, "Arrio look like Human! But Arrio fight and dream like Orc. Good enough for me." {\n}From that day forward, the dream has never been brought up again.
