Sarpanit was strong and offered herself with pretended struggle and gave Marduk pleasure, but she did not act as other Orcs who had served Marduk in such manner, or any Orcs that were loyal to him.
Sarpanit sometimes said that even Dwarves did not truly spring from the earth as Orcs did and that their previous method of breeding was something forced upon them by Wizards to make them as slaves, and now clearly a trait which could be bred from their race.
Sometimes Sarpanit had pulled at her ears and said she should only submit to an Orc who was large and small-eared, as Ugarit yet seemed lithe and not all Orcs found Northern ears desirable; the females did notice that the born offspring resembled somewhat both the male and female that had made them.
