''Decree on Mages' Rite of Passage''
It's an order from an orcish general, dated from many years ago. It reads, "The rakshasa
mages who attacked Gazluk City last week were killed, but the battle was too close. It is clear
that we need more mages. There have been rumors that we might hire elven mercenaries to
cast spells for us, but do not fear: that will NEVER happen. Orcs protect orcs! And orc magic is
strong!
We must have more orc mages, but most of our young mages die in the Rite of Passage. My
counsel tells me that this is because training in magic takes longer than training with
weapons. Due to our pressing need, I declare a new law: children who show skill in magic
may delay their Rite of Passage until age 17. These two extra years must be spent in study of
magics and related trickery. When they take the Rite, they may not use a weapon, only magic.
If they survive, they shall be treated as true orcs."
