* Donovan Deegan, father of ''[[Dominic Deegan]]'''s title character, speaks Orcish - to some degree. When he received the Orc name "Kulka Sheendo Dak," he was told it meant "bringer of peace and joy." Appropriate as that would have been, he found out many years later that "bringer of peace and joy" was "Kilka Shiendo Dak."

He speaks perfectly fluent Orcish, coming out with a profound "I believe it goes, '<It is not the language of the clans but the language of nature to which one has to listen.>'}} [https://web.archive.org/web/20130121141150/http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2010-01-12 Cue WTF faces from all present.]
