Also, Victoria suggests that the reason she was found floating in a basket is that she was cast out by her tribe. That makes no sense if orc females are rare, and as an orc (who would be curious about her origin) and as a librarian she should know.
Well, Victoria is assuming she was cast out by her tribe because she was found floating down a river in a wicker basket.
But (according to the elf Eglandaer, who would know better since he was responsible for all of that and Victoria was a baby at the time) that's not what actually happened. The orc tribe knew Eglandaer was coming to wipe them out, so they sent Victoria off in that basket to save her (because she was their future queen).
That's the sad irony of the whole story. I'm sure she's completely aware of how prized orc females are in the orc society, so the fact that the orcs (in her mind) tried to flush her into the sea despite that must make her feel like even more of an unwanted outcast. And it adds credibility to why she's sticking around with the humans.
It's all very sad, actually. Poor Victoria.
On that note, can we please get Eglandaer's model to look like an elf instead of a bald human? If all the elves and dwarves we run into end up looking like humans, that will be disappointing.
