        • GM Notes

          Mainline orcs in the Battle for Wesnoth video game don’t have any magic. For Gugdish, I once again took my inspiration from the expanded units featured in the User-Made Content campaign A War of Life and Death, which includes the Orcish Conjurer. Some of the other orc units that inspired me were the Orcish Assassin and the Orcish Warlord. We’ll see other units from the video game as this arc continues, including Goblin Pillagers, a Wraith, and a new unit for our characters, the Nightgaunt.

          • GM Notes

            The Battle for Wesnoth video game has a take on orcs and goblins that I haven’t seen anywhere else. They’re the same species, as are half-orcs. The different designators arise from the physical capabilities of the individuals. Orcs are the strongest, half-orcs are less muscular, and goblins are considered runts. This then sets their social standing. This doesn’t come up much in any of the mainline campaigns, but it’s included in the write-up on the official wiki, and I used it to inform how I portrayed those characters.

            This arc contains references to the Battle for Wesnoth campaign Eastern Invasion.
