When first spoken to:

"This land inspires me! I already have enough ideas to fill an entire book of poetry!"
Are you the famous Redguard poet I've heard about? Maybe you can help me with an Orc poem.
"Famous? Perhaps. Some people like my poems, and that is enough for me.
But you want an Orc poem. What particular topic intrigues you? War, blood, revenge? I know a decidedly graphic verse advocating the benefits of evisceration."
Nothing like that. I need a love poem to impress an Orc maiden.
"A love—? For an Orc?
Are we talking about the same Orcs? The violent, bad–tempered, warlike people? Those Orcs? I'm not certain they write about love, certainly not like the Bretons or Nords. Perhaps I could interest you in a Redguard love sonnet?"
I really need an Orcish love poem. Any ideas?
"Hmm, let me think.
Oh! Of course! Have you heard the poem about the warrior and the axe she loves? "Ode to a Battleaxe," I believe it is called. I suppose I could change a word or two and it might suffice for your purposes."
If you think that will work.
"Indubitably! I'll just change "my axe's" to "my lady love's …" And "fills me with a lust for blood" becomes "fills me with a lust for you."
Not up to my usual standards, but I think you'll agree that it has a certain charm."
Thanks for the love poem.
"May Tall Papa gird your loins, my friend. I believe you'll need all the help you can get when it comes to Orc affection."
