I am an old sorcerer who has lived too long and was seduced by darkness for a long time. I discovered the light in the words. Some time ago, I found a text that made me reflect and has inspired this manuscript. It started like this:

My name is Leirbag. I have fought alongside great wizards, warriors and elves, but no one tells a story about me. I suppose it's because my race is considered savages, murderers, deformed and a long list of unpleasant adjectives. But I am also part of the great stories that became legendary. If you haven't already guessed who I am, I'll tell you that I'm a despicable orc with a desire for revenge.
