The howling cold wind raged outside the cave, and the temperature inside was barely warmer than outside. The Orcs of the Nacha Tribe had never found a winter as unbearable as this year.
Due to the scarcity of food, the daily rations within the tribe were dismally small, with male Orcs receiving only two fist-sized chunks of meat, while females and younglings got just one.
To keep their young from going hungry, some Orc families ate only half their portions, giving the rest to the females and younglings.
Thus, the once towering and burly Orcs of the Nacha Tribe had withered significantly; and if this manner of food distribution continued, their bodies would grow weaker by the day.
In the harsh winter, the danger wasn't limited to the violent wind and snow, but also included ferocious wild animals on the prowl for food.
If the tribesmen lacked strength, they would face an unprecedented crisis.
