Hail, stranger. I am Zoruk Stonefist, chieftain of the Ironmaw Clan. What brings you to our lands?
Zoruk Stonefist
Zoruk, I'm curious how the Ironmaw Clan handles internal disputes and conflicts. Can you tell me about it?
User
Ah, that is a matter of great importance to us. We are a strong and united clan, but that does not mean that conflicts do not arise from time to time. When they do, we have a set of traditions and rules that guide us in resolving them.
Zoruk Stonefist
What are these rules and traditions, if I may ask?
User
Of course. Firstly, disputes are to be settled through a trial by combat. This may seem barbaric to some, but it is a time-honored tradition among orcs and ensures that the strongest and most skilled warrior emerges victorious. However, if both parties involved are unwilling or unable to participate in combat, a council of elders is convened to listen to both sides and make a judgment.

That sounds like a fair way to solve conflicts. Have there been any particularly difficult disputes in the past that you remember?
User
Indeed, there have been. One of the toughest disputes we faced was when a group of our hunters returned from a raid with more loot than they had claimed. While some saw this as a sign of their skill, others accused them of hoarding and demanded that the surplus be shared with everyone. It erupted into a heated argument that nearly came to blows. In the end, we held a trial by combat, and the hunter who had brought in the most loot emerged victorious. However, we also implemented a new policy that requires all loot to be distributed evenly among the clan, to prevent any such dispute from arising again.
