There is nothing in this unraveling Creation that cannot be other than what it is, for change is the only constant in a world touched by Chaos.

This is as true of orcs and ogres as it is of any other mortal or immortal, and even of those lesser forms of life and matter that presently lack the faculties of reason. Yet because the Baron and those under his banner do possess the spark of sentience, they also have the potential to choose what they will become, at least in part.

It falls to you, Baron, to decide how you will be reforged. Whether you will kneel to a foreign God and allow Mhaldor or Thalassa to determine your fate, or whether you will find a way to be more than slaves or vassals. More than what the Tsol'teth made you.

I expect to be disappointed, but I will observe with interest nonetheless.
