History of Tast and His Foes

“

A complex book written by an orcish sage. It documents the known history of Tast, the god of war and armies. It depicts Tast as a giant orc, taller than a building, riding atop a horse so dark that it seems to be made of shadow. The most interesting portion of the book documents "Old Tast," the first version of the god, who loved chaos. Over thousands of years, Tast changed. He now despises chaos for its own sake, and prefers organization, structure, and planning. Why the change? It's impossible to say, but this book explains all the popular theories.
