Orcs have always been known as beings of strong emotion, a fact that other peoples sometimes struggle to appreciate. Aware of this, the wisest Orc leaders seek the aid of a caste that have grown as the influence of other races has become more prominent in Orc culture over the centuries. Though calling themselves the Shamans, a title used by peoples throughout Teleria, these Orcs are different than others known as such for they have a skillset unique to their kind, mastering their strong emotions and channel them into sorcerous energies. Their self-control and wisdom has seen them acting as advisors for the Orc clan leaders of Peltas in particular, many of whom struggle to find common ground with other peoples who do not appreciate the forcefulness of Orc emotions and view their race as unpredictable and aggressive.

The Shamans in particular put emphasis on harnessing what they saw as specific positive emotions, such as determination, courage, and hopefulness, believing they could lead their kindred to a higher plane of enlightenment if these became dominant characteristics of the Orc mindset. However, the caste split with members who believed that only by accessing the full range of emotions, including anger and hate, could Orcs reach their full potential. This breakaway faction called themselves the Seers and, while they began as rivals, the two groups soon came to work together, joining a third faction of Orc spiritualists, the Bonekeepers. Shamans, Seers, and Bonekeepers remain as magically-adept advisors in many of the more traditionalist clans.

In recent times, one Shaman in particular has risen to prominence among the caste, Valga Redmane. She and her two sisters, Vorag and Enga, each displayed magical aptitude from an early age, but divergence in their natures saw them bound for different paths. Valga, who was courageous, fiery, and good-natured, earned the favor of the local Shaman while Vorag, quiet, calculating, and ruthless, attracted the attention of her clan's Seers. Enga, quiet and morbid even as a child, came to the attention of the Bonekeepers. The triplets took oaths to the separate castes, and were thus divided.

Valga served for some years as the Shaman advisor to the Orc chieftain Skaldran, until his assassination by Dark Elves who blamed him for the recent torching of a part of the eastern reaches of Durham Forest by Orc raiders. Falling out of favor with the rest of the clan after Skaldran's death, Valga hired out her magics and her knowledge, working as the unlikely advisor to the Kaerok lord, Stonetower. While many in Stonetower's domain complained about the presence of an Orc in a position of power, Valga proved herself when she healed the noble's son from a deadly bout of bog fever.

Valga's loyalty and abilities were proven again when she negotiated the withdrawal of a migrating Ogryn tribe from Stonetower's territory without recourse to bloodshed, and when she led an extended series of bargaining that saw Dwarf merchants from Gloomdeep Hold establish a trading outpost within the province.

Despite her talents and wisdom, some still question Valga's motives for remaining in Human-dominated Kaerok, where she continues to suffer the ire of both commoners and other nobles who do not share Stonetower's views. There are claims she is actually searching Kaerok and wider Anhelt for her sisters. Her ambition is to reunite with them so they might combine their power, each learning the ways and secrets of the others to create a trio of monumentally powerful and enlightened Orc sorceresses.

Shaman can be summoned from Ancient Shard as a Epic champion.
