Mad Dok
Orks
Stories with substantial Ork involvement: their own adventures and wars fought against them. Rynn’s World has ground stories and an air campaign; Piscina IV has a novel and a historical campaign source. These independent wars do not form a single cycle. The siege of Prome and Grotsnik’s experiments are a separate story with their own epilogue, not an established sequel to every Ghazghkull work. Makari’s interrogation with retold Ghazghkull history and the independent Gabal campaign are separate; a shared warlord does not establish required order.
