I just read the first story and I loved it! Was the story, by any chance, inspired by Skyrim? Because there's a random encounter in Skyrim with an Orc standing beside two dead lions. And if you engage him in a conversation he says he is looking for a good death. And then you have the dialogue options to either fight him or just ignore him. Anyways, I really loved how you characterized Gorr. Good job!

Can't say it was Skyrim, no. I think more than anything it was the general concept of slayers from Warhammer Fantasy; dwarves who have been dishonoured and seek a glorious death in combat.

Fun story - there is one particular dwarf that is a slayer and wishes to die in combat but is so good at fighting that he straight up can't do it, instead becoming an absolute legend.
