WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS GAME SPOILERS

Blind Orc is an NPC found on Rookgaard. It is located on the top of the mountain, above the entrance to the underground, in the northern part of the island. Next to the orc, who seems to be a blacksmith, we can see several sacks, a chest with a quiver, a barrel of water, a bucket, a trough, an anvil, and a campfire.
Blind Orc
The orc offers several basic types of weaponry, as well as a bow and arrow, for which he has a monopoly. The most interesting thing, however, is how we can communicate with him. Due to his blindness, the orc is unable to see his interlocutor, so we can outsmart him by pretending to be one of the green-skinned creatures. So we need to know the basic phrases to conduct a dialogue with a blacksmith.

The first step to understanding the orcish language is to read the book My Travels, which can be found in the academy library. It is the story of a traveler who came across a group of orcs speaking their own language.
I overheard the greenskined brutes. 'charach' (or so) one said and the other responded the same way, then they began to chat in their strange language, certainly talking about some gruesome plot against mankind.
Another source of information is a resident of Rookgaard, Amber, a traveler and adventurer. She has clashed with orcs several times. She was taken prisoner, becoming their prisoner for several months. Some phrases he will tell us for free, while others will cost us a salmon.

Player: yes
Amber: It's 'mok' in Orcish. I tell you more if you bring me some food.

Player: no
Amber: In Orcish that's 'burp'. I tell you more if you bring me some food.

Amber: Thank you. Orcs call arrows 'pixo'.

The other words needed to fully interact with the Blind Orc are in the Minotaur-occupied dungeons. In front of the entrance to the Bear Room, we can find chests with 3 books in them: From them, we learn what they are called, e.g., armor elements. Through trial and error, players came up with plausible translations for most of the words.

The most important phrases from the dialogue with Blind Orc are:

Player: Charach. - Greetings.
Blind Orc: Ikem Charach maruk – I greeting you.

Player: Ikem goshak. – I buy.
Blind Orc: Ikem pashak porak, bata, dora. Ba goshak maruk? – I sell weapons, armors, shields. What do you buy?

Player: Goshak bata. – Buy armor.
Blind Orc: Ikem pashak aka bora, tulak bora, grofa. Ba goshak maruk? - I sell leather armor, studded armor, studded helmet. What do you buy?

Player: Goshak aka bora / tulak bora / grofa. - Buy leather armor / studded armor / studded helmet.
Blind Orc: Maruk goshak ta? - Are you buying it?
Player: Mok. – Yes.
Blind Orc: Maruk rambo zambo! – You have become brave one! (?)
Player: Burp. – No.
Blind Orc: Buta maruk klamuk! - Stupid weakling! (?)

Player: Goshak porak. - Buy weapon.
Blind Orc: Ikem pashak charcha, burka, burka bata, hakhak. Ba goshak maruk? - I sell sabre, short sword, sword, hatchet. What do you buy?

Player: Goshak dora. - Buy shield.
Blind Orc: Ikem pashak donga. Ba goshak maruk? – I sell brass shield. What do you buy?

Player: Goshak batuk. - Buy bow.
Blind Orc: Ahhhh, maruk goshak batuk? - Ahhhh, are you buying a bow?

Player: Goshak Pixo - Buy arrows.
Blind Orc: Maruk goshak tefar pixo ul batuk? - Are you buying arrows for your bow?

Player: Futchi. – Bye.
Blind Orc: Futchi! – Bye!

Note that most of the words are not confirmed. Only attempts have been made to translate them so that the phrases fit the obtained interactions and Tibia's climate. Many players wonder if there might be some still unknown key words that would lead to a completely different dialogue path. We would have to look to the creator of the Orc language himself for clues on this subject.
Orcish Language
For the most part, Knightmare is responsible for the creation of the Orc language. In one of his interviews on TibiaBR.com dated May 9, 2010, we can find a question that relates directly to Tibian languages.
TibiaBR wrote:Tibian languages, such as the Orc Language and the Beholder Language were created in a well worked way, with grammar rules and everything, just like the sindarin and other Tolkien languages?

Knightmare: The orc language was an early quest device. Admittedly, probably too complicated and spoiler vulnerable for a closed environment like Rookgaard but it was very basic. Even the stuff the orc monsters are saying had (partly) some meaning but most of it was never formally written down and it would be rather hard even for me to reconstruct it.

The beholder language is a completely different issue though. We hired an actual beholder to write down texts for us. It resides still in the company basement and refuses to leave. The screaming of the dwarfs we have to feed him once a day haunts us even in our dreams. The worst thing is we have no means to tell if the beholder actually wrote down what we dictated him. Chances are his texts are some tasteless jokes and bad beholder poetry. Yet no one in the office had the guts to voice our doubts towards the beholder. Have you ever heard of the CipSoft employee Hans Christian Strakeldum? No? We neither after he went down into the cellar to tell the beholder to stop whistling that loud ...
The orcish language was mainly intended for completing a quest - getting salmon, then exchanging it for successively learned words, which ultimately led to the possibility of buying a bow and arrows. In the statement, however, we can read that even the words spoken by ordinary orcs had some meaning in parts, but these days even their creator would have a hard time reconstructing them.

Who, if not us, is fascinated by Rookgaard and its mysteries? Should we strive to learn the secrets of Tibia? I guess each of us is curious about what the orcs have been trying to tell us for so many years. So we encourage you to dive into the world of the game and solve its mysteries.
