	The Blood Forger is unique among forgers.  From the obvious area, the blades he forges are much better, sharper, and stronger than that whihc other forgers make.  But that is because of their unique cooling bath.  Rather than water, the forge cools his blades in that which they are destined to slay, the blood of demons.  A firery process this is, and only the best of the blood forger's weapons survive it.  Even for him, this is a process that can be dangerous.  He dabbles near dark arts every time this process occurs, but the ends justify the means.  The secret of his forge has been passed down since time was kept through the orken blood line.  The position is sacred, no matter what clan the chosen orc is from, all revere him and his position.  It is one of the fews position that pushes aside personal feelings in light of the greater need.  Any orc wielding a blood forged blade is an important person in orc society, and has proven he or she has the right to be listened to.  The first of these blades was given to Nuritha, in recognition of her stand against evil, when she defeated a greater deamon with her bare hands and the power of her fists.  As she was a monk, the blade was given an honored position among the clan, and now hangs high in the central council of the orken people,
