The Orcish Question

Dear Vroshnak,
I read with interest your missive to King Galvadore. Now, you claim that
you follow the Light only for the protection of Lady Shakiniel, and that
the rest can be damned because you are 'strong.' I must ask what form
this strength comes in.
It certainly isn't moral strength, that much is obvious.
It isn't strength of will, or strength of mind.
Strength of the body? Rafael may have something to show you about that.
Perhaps your strength is in your very immorality? That you do not rely
on such petty concerns as compassion? You will grow soft and spoiled if
you must rely on others to do everything for you.
No, my dear Vroshnak, I must conclude that you are, in fact, quite
feeble. From whence does this weakness spring? Are you not noble
Orclach? No, you are not. You are orcs, weak-spirited and frail-bodied.
And why? It is the Taint that has made you like this. We wish to restore
you to Orclach, to improve you. Why do you resist us?
