Not long after Saine returned to the oasis camp, he received a gift delivered by the Half-Orc Eugene.
Most of it consisted of inexpensive but novel, rarely seen little trinkets.
Many of the plants and animals among them were species Eugene had collected from various planes during his travels through the Wizard Alliance years ago.
This Half-Orc had long harbored an ambition. He had specifically brought these special species from other planes—especially food crops—back to the Orc World, hoping to change its chronic food shortages and recurring famines.
Not only Saine, but nearly every Wizard World mage who came to No-Man's Land received a gift from this Level-4 Half-Orc.
