I set out to answer the question; Why am I an outcast?
It could not just be that I am an inbred or a bastard. It had to be something where the patriarch would despise my existence, but not want me destroyed because I am a Vancaskerkin.
My mother was traveling home from visiting friends/family in Kaer Maga when her caravan was attacked by Orc raiders just south a Sirathu before the road splits. The Orcs took everything that was valuable and killed all the men, kept the children and woman as slaves and property.
Her father received word of this and send his men and paid mercenaries to track down these beast and kill them for the shame they brought to their name. They tracked them down to a small camp in the Mindspin Mountains where they surprised the Orcs. After a night of battle the Vancaskerkin came out victorious by slayed the Orc beast and retrieving his daughter.
They took the head and weapon of the Orc clan back to her father as proof. (Just for fun I figured this could be the Orc Double Axe that Dukhal has and uses.)
A few months down the road it quickly became apparent that his daughter was with child. There were arguments about whether to keep the child or discard it because it was half beast. The mother fought to keep the child to raise it as a Vancaskerkin. There are rumors that have spread that she had willingly became pregnant with the beast, and then there were rumors that the beast had soiled her innocence. The family could never press hard enough to find out the truth.
The patriarch honored his daughters wish but named the child Dukhal, which means bastard in Orc.
To this day Dukhal has trained with the weapon his mother gave him, the very Orcish Double Axe that was taken from the Chief of the Orc Clan. Not always feeling fully accepted, Dukhal spent many weeks and months in the wilds of the Mushfens and Sanos Forest. Here he was away from judgement and free to do his own will.
While in the wild Dukhal hides his true identity and dresses in hunters garb and guides people around the south west of Varisia
