📋 About This Mod
~DAUGHTER OF MALACATH~
Vorgha is a skilled Orc warrior from the Dushnikh Yal faction who is growing restless of stronghold life, with its roles and hierarchies, and looking for adventure. Do Not be fooled by her seemingly disdainful, disinterested attitude; she is a loyal comrade quick to cut down your adversaries without hesitation. As she is a member of the Dushnikh Yal, and daughter of Chief Burguk, you will need to gain entree into the confidence of the Orcs of Skyrim if you are not already playing as an Orsimer character (assuming you actually play the game and don't console-command your way through it). This, you can achieve in 1 of several ways:
1)(EASIEST)- Alternate Start- Begin the game as an Orc; Vorgha will be waiting for you upon entering the game (Dushnikh Yal)
2)(2ND EASIEST)- Complete a quest given by Ghorza gra-Bagol, Markarth's blacksmith, by obtaining 'The Last Scabbard Of Akrash'. Once you have completed the task, ask her to make you 'Blood-Kin to The Orcs', which will allow you access to all strongholds, their mines/etc.
3) If you approach a stronghold outright as a Non-Orc, a guard will halt your advance (especially if you're a Nord, ha!). They will tell you that to gain the confidence of the Orcs, you will need complete a task to show you're worthy, which will be to bring them 'The Forgemaster's Fingers'.

(A Note About My Orc Followers: I have listed in This mod's requirements, as a Highly Recommended option, 'Feminine Orc Player', which unlocks human noses/etc for female Orcs. While it is highly recommended w/ this mod, as it pertains to her face, if you also have my Warrior Murgash Orc Companion mod, I list Orc Overhaul as a Requirement for Murgash, as it is necessary for his size. However, If you are using both at the same time, and Feminine Orc Player overrides Orc Overhaul, All Orcs, Males Included, will have the default SMALLER Skeleton and lose all their girth; yet if Orc Overhaul is lower in your L. O., it includes a female skeleton which I have found to cause Problems w/ 3BA Physics, i.e. I have found Orc Overhaul to be incompatible w/ 3BA. You can still have Overhaul, AS LONG AS You Have Feminine Orc Player Overriding it, otherwise, Orc Overhaul will ruin the breast physics of female Orcs who are using 3BA Bodies, such as Vorgha)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 216 endorsements and over 5,500 downloads.
- Offers multiple roles: follower, bodyguard, and spouse, giving flexibility.
- Orc companions are rare, so this fills a niche for players wanting an Orsimer ally.
⚠️ Cons
- No detailed feature list, so you're going in blind on her personality or combat style.
- Last updated in May 2023, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods.
- Potential conflicts with other companion mods or overhauls that alter follower systems.
For Skyrim players who want a new Orc companion to join their adventures, especially those looking for a spouse option. If you're after a complex follower with deep backstory or custom quests, this might not be enough. Skip if you prefer fully voiced or quest-integrated companions.

- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to keep your Data folder clean.
