Tribe Elder

Elders are rulers of the orcish tribe, chosen from among the greatest warriors and the wisest shamans. While military issues are under the authority of the tribe leader, elders solve issues relating to compliance with traditions - like choice of wives for the leader or decision on how to make sacrifices to the spirits. Elders enjoy great respect in the tribe and receive a tenth of the booty of each warrior. But even the orcs sometimes forget that their elders aren't just respected greybeards. Each of them once was a legendary warrior or shaman, favored from spirits. Even now, many years later, to underestimate the elder is a big mistake.
