Cherubion Benjamin Rascal - Az ork lovagrend

The orcs attack again, this time with laughter.

In Benjamin Rascal's grotesquely humorous fantasy book, the village of Doom and its inhabitants return to prove that heroism is overrated, but the pub is a sacred place.

"Slamming nails. Then cursing."

That's how The Orc Knighthood begins, and that's exactly how it stays - all the way.

Dragomir Mordison, the powerful but slightly nervous wizard of the city of Zudar, is trying to sleep soundly when something (or rather someone) starts to sneak up on him in the attic. The wizard immediately goes into battle mode… but what he finds is anything but a demon. But an orc. More precisely: a bunch of orcs whose ideas alone represent a world-destroying threat.

With this collection of short stories, Benjamin Rascal evokes the legendary village of Rohadalom and its crazy inhabitants: Tapló, Tompa, Sunyi, Rogmar, Krogó and the others, who believe that the greatest achievement of civilization is if the sword does not cut through the skull. These orcs aren't evil—they're just consistently dumb, lovably primitive, and always making the worst possible decision with the best possible intentions.

The Order of Orcs collects Rascal's funniest, never-before-published orc stories. The short stories both parody and celebrate classic fantasy tropes: heroes who have no concept of heroism, and adventures that somehow always end in a pub.

We recommend it to everyone who:

- Enjoys grotesque, humorous, self-ironic fantasy worlds,
- He likes the absurd humor between Piglet and Terry Pratchett,
- He likes orcs who think with their heart but never with their head,
- Or he simply wants to have a good laugh at a completely overshadowed fantasy universe.
