Orcish athletes have been using slates for training since the early days of the game. The first recorded use of a slate was in the year 2948, when an orcish trainer used a blackboard to teach his team the bone-breaking strategy that would later become known as the “Zkull-cracking” technique. The use of slates has since become widespread in orcish culture, and they are now used for a variety of purposes, from bribing umpires to teaching young Orcs the basics of the game. In this article, we will take a look at how Orcs use slates in their everyday lives and how they have become an integral part of orcish culture.
