Argonak thanks you profusely as he is released from his chains, but you silence him with a fierce glare.
“So this is the state of my army,” You mutter into the sudden stillnessYou grab ahold of the shame in their minds and twist. Your captains become visibly uncomfortable, shifting and casting their eyes down. You stand to your feet.
“My armies made the world tremble! The sound of their approach made men pale and women wail! Now my army is nearly defeated by a force half its size!”
“The days of your petty feuds between tribes are over. You live, you fight, and you will die as I command.”
“I see into your very core, and I AM LEFT WANTING.”

And just a twist and a wrench...At this they fall to their knees and cry for forgiveness. Pavlock starts sobbing.
Maybe you were a bit hard, but hey, they were the ones who fucked up.
But wait, you sense a note of dissent. Zartha feels angered that you shame him for what he sees as the fault of the chiefs. It’s small, but it is interesting.
What will you do with him?
A. I will talk with him and diffuse his anger. I may have to make promises to gratify him.
B. I can’t be bothered by this. It may motivate him to do better and “prove” me wrong, and he will be gratified when I praise his success.
C. I shouldn’t risk any hint of rebellion. I will have him killed, quietly.

Eat the Ground: using your understand of Space magic, you can do some minor fiddling and travel far more quickly than should be possible. Can be enhanced with mana crystals.

Psychic assault: Use your magic to assault the mind of a target, overloading their senses and causing great pain
Influence minds: A step away from mind control, you can direct the thoughts and feelings of another being. Birthing vats: Birthing Vats are incubators in which orcs are grown. They are filled with an organic soup, and then orc flesh is added. A rule of thumb is 1 body for every ten orcs. Orc tenders and shamans test the fluid and check the development of the orcs and add ingredients as necessary.
Orc champions and chiefs are often favored as donors, as it is believed their strength can be passed on to their progeny. Chiefs often give blood to certain vats, particularly if a favored warrior died and is put into the vat to strengthen the next generation.
Other species can be added to the vats as well, resulting in new types of orcs. With the addition of human flesh, orcs are known to be more intelligent and ambitious, but lose strength. Trolls are another known option, resulting in the type known as Ologs. Over time birthing vats can acquire reputations for producing certain types of orcs, and become more proficient.
Magic:
Due to your nature as a Dark Lord, you have vast powers at your command. Or, at least you did. You can use powers that aren’t in your explicit spell list, though it doesn’t come as easily to you. You can also learn different areas of magic, though it won’t come as easily to you as Mind and Space magic.
