The tall spire of Jorel cast a foreboding shadow on the entrance where Glanos stood. Because of the martial philosophy of the Orcs, lore wasn't as prized in the city-fortress as much as physical prowess. However, the ancient shamans and religious leaders knew the value of such power and lore, and thus enshrined information within their spires. Jorel, the highest tower in the city-fortress, was one such tower that would be able to teach Glanos the things he sought.

Glanos entered through the mouth of the cave, passing Fos Raug clan guardsmen, each of which gave a distrusting look to the Orc passing through their chambers. Directly ahead was a large stone altar, blood-stained and worn from use. Many Shon Zi stood by, waiting for worshippers and answering questions.

"I'm looking fer someone to teach me da lore of poison. Do ye know who it is dat teaches such things?" Glanos asked respectively to one of the religious leaders. With a nod, a dark-robed Shon Zi motioned Glanos to follow him. They climbed up one of the crude, rock-constructed stairs leading up through various caverns of the spire. The Shon Zi took Glanos through the levels until they reached a small opening, obviously a room used by one of the religious leaders.

"Here." The dark-robed leader stated. Without another word, he turned and walked back down to stairs to the altar. With slight hesitation, Glanos entered the room, his nostrils becoming attuned to the smoky mist from the incense burners. Another dark-robed member of the Shon Zi sat at the far end of the room, his back facing Glanos. As Glanos approached, a cold voice greeted him. "My name is Maggong. Sit." Glanos obeyed and sat on one of the stone edifices. "I will teach ju what ju want to learn, but ju must learn to obey and fear me." He stated as coldly as his greeting.

"Now what lore do ju want?" He asked. "Poison." Glanos stated affirmatively. "Ah, good. Such a deadly art, it is." Maggong stated, standing to his feet. "My favorite, too." Maggong approached a small chest with various bottles and glasses. He also took out a small scroll and set them on the table.

"Come and read." Maggong ordered.
