The first memories Thud possed were of his mother's laments about the events that led up to his birth. The youngest daughter of the clan chieftain, she was the most fought after female in the tribe; every male wanted to add her to his cave of women.   And then Thud came to be.  And she became a pariah. When Thud was around eleven years of age, a male came to his grandfather and told him he would take Oombla off his hands, if she got rid of Thud. Thud was dropped off on his father's doorstep that night. His father didn't know of his existence, but still bore the scars from his one night with the she-orc.
