Blood-Kindred

A rite that causes the Orc to be Bonded and often follow members or causes outside that of the Orc's home.

Declaring Blood-Kindred
The act of declaring Blood-Kindred is no simple feat to do so requires ultimate sacrifice and in turn is only ever bestowed upon a outsider in major acts of favour or prowess.

Most Orcs have been known to do so under war time due to the intense fighting and amply time for racial interacting, the now honoured outsider would have to accept the Orc's offer declining being a great insult and begin the rite of solidifying the oath.

The Rite
The rite itself is often barbaric and alein as the Orcs are but requires the Orc to bleed his hands and smear blood upon their heart and then that of the Blood-Kindred effectivly "blooding" his brother or sister.

The rite then leads to a drinking of both heavly watered Nether Liquid to signifie the acceptance of the Orc's heritage as well as hylusanagenic herbs to show unity in the eye of madness and fear.

Once the effect wear they are known as blood kin and forever remain so until death and beyond.

It is important to note that how ever honoured a act of declaring Blood-Kindred in situations that do not truly earn it are seen as reckless and childlike tendancies showing other Orcs of their lack of honour and sense in such ancient traditions. Other wise a major insult to the Orc's kin.
