This Orc woman is a battlefield scavenger, usually accompanied by her two children, Fruulo and Hopraak.
As part of the animistic beliefs of her tribe, the dead cannot rest while their remains have not been collected. It is her role to scrounge battlefields, and lay the dead to rest by collecting their skulls and gathering them into a cairn back in her village. That her village is on the outskirts of an ancient miles-wide battle site only means she has lots of work to do. Frîgdash’s talents as a Necromancer are only slight, but sanctioned by the goddess Nîa, who gathers the dead and administers to their souls. She usually goes armed and armoured, as she has had trouble with mercenaries and other looters before, as well as unquiet spirits. Frîgdash’s two husbands, Gulo and Vugak, are a hunter and a singer respectively by profession, and have great respect for her skill. They all live together in a raised lodge on the outskirts of town. Statistics: Frîgdash is a Neutral-aligned Orc shaman (Cleric, for most systems). She serves her people as a shaman and religious guide, using her necromancy skills in ways most people find uncomfortable but acceptable. How you can use Frîgdash in your game: • While venturing through Orc lands, a relic must be recovered from a fallen King. The trouble is, no-one knows where in the enormous battlefield the King perished, and locals only point to Frîgdash for assistance. She’s the one who knows the field best. • Integration with human society has been challenging for the Orcs. With their favored method of problem solving being violence, things have been fraught. And when a crusading priest discovers a cave lined with polished skulls behind Frîgdash’s house, he is all too ready to burn her at the stake. Can your PCs settle the matter, and bring calm to the village? • Frîgdash is the descendant of a long line of necromancers, who have much oral wisdom about the nature of undead. If an especially powerful undead creature has risen, or has even returned from the Realm of the Dead, Frîgdash will be very interested in making sure that it returns. She might aid or even train your PCs in the arts of Necromancy. Also posted on Game Masters Stash on 17 March 2019.

I absolutley love some of the resources you so willingly provide. I have every intention of using this orc shaman/necromancer along with your awesome wandering mountain range in an upcoming campaign. Thank you so much for the inspiration. One of my players is a dragonborn necromancer. Another is a paladin of the Raven Queen.
