	The Shepherd of the Great Herd is a hands-on duty. To raise such a large herd the Shepherd is gifted the means to beat the great rhino skin drums that call the hardy uplands cattle down from the surrounding hills and valleys of eastern Skarsind. It falls under their judgement as to when best to call the cattle back down from the hills and when to let them roam free. The highland cattle are both valuable for meat, horns and leather but also their wool which can be collected several times a year. As a token of their responsibility, the Shepherd is gifted the pick of the vast herd, while much of the meat is bought to feed the legions of the Summer Storm and Winter Sun as they fight far away.

	The cattle would be trained to respond to the sound of a beating drum. Rhino skin was used as the deep sound was unique and would carry over vast distances through the valleys and hills. Orc handlers used to marching great distance as soldiers with the legions would be needed to patrol, keeping wild beasts and raiders from claiming the best of the breeding stock. While some of the herd would be lost, the weight of numbers would maintain a profitable venture that would bring prosperity to the surrounding areas and Imperial Orc armies beyond.
