This was a short 500-word story that I wrote for the Black Library Open Submissions in 2021. They were after something for the Age of Sigmar setting, to accompany the Dawnbringer Crusade narrative, just a 500-word excerpt to show what the story might look like. I wanted to write something from the perspective of greenskins (surprisingly), and wanted to try and make a whole story fit into the 500 words that could be expanded later. My intention was to expand on the view of this orc warband from different perspectives, should they take it forward... unfortunately, it wasn't what they were looking for, so they rejected it. But some of my friends liked it so I might see about expanding it myself in the future. Hope you enjoy it!
