Travel and mercenary work, two things that went hand in hand together. Couple that with an orc who wanted to see the world and do things, and you had yourself a good combination. But where would an orc find mercenary work? Most anywhere really, but Bal'gorath didn't want simple mercenary work, he also wanted to see the great sights of the world, the great cities of each species. He'd already seen Belgrath, he lived near there so it was a sight he'd seen several times, but everything West of the Spine was new territory. To explore this territory, Bal'gorath had decided to become a mercenary, with his first destination being Bhathairk, the great stronghold of the Orcs. He'd started traveling there after a short pit stop at Belgrath, but had moved on quickly after that.
It had taken Bal'gorath the better part of a month and a half to arrive at Bhathairk. During that time he'd seen several wonders and had to fight off numerous people that thought he was an easy target. Finally though he arrived in the orc city, after a long and arduous journey that was just the beginning of his adventure. Standing a ways away from the main entrance to the orc city, Bal'gorath simply watched as people came and went from the city, paying various fees to enter and leave. It all seemed rather simple, even the chaos itself seemed organized in its own manner. Grinning at the sight and the thought, Bal'gorath made his way towards the entrance, marching his way into the city without paying the guards. They were looking for merchants, not singular orcs with nothing of value visible on them.
Making his way into the city proper, Bal'gorath was stunned with how big the city was, and just how many people were there. Looking around, he also noted that he was rather tall compared to most others here, and well equipped. Not to say that he was the best equipped, but it was telling that he had high quality armor. Those others that were similar were also mercenaries, but far more experienced. Grinning a toothy grin at that, Bal'gorath made his way further into the bustling city, careful not to bump into others, but still taking in the splendid, orcish view of the city.
