The Old Orc While travelling on the back roads through Markarth hold, Erika makes and unexpected encounter with an old Orc. Curious as to what threat he may pose, she calls out to see if he means her harm. The orc responds with a monotonous tone exclaiming he means her no harm unless she wishes to duel with him. Confused as to why the Orc is here, she approaches him cautiously. He explains that he is old, and is seeking a "good death" and wants a worthy opponent to grant him his wish. Erika
