Very well.

Here is a list of all the mobs on Allakhazam/Illia's Bestiary from the year 2000 as being on Dervish Cutthroat Faction:

Here is the list of mobs from the Orc faction from the same timeframe:

A/An Orc Priest isn't listed on either of them.

However, note this quote under the Orc faction (year 2000):

Err well first also orc priests in Oasis and Orc Raiders in Nro belong to this faction. Also at level 12 I have seen a blue orc warrior so the level range is obviously not 20-22

Additionally:

Jump forward to 2002:

An Orc Priest is on Orc faction.

Here is a list of all the mobs on the Orc faction from 2002 (which seems to be as far back as this specific listing will go):

An Orc Priest is on it.

Here is a list of all the mobs on the Dervish Cutthroat faction from the same timeframe:

I do not see anything about orcs being added to or removed from the Dervish Cutthroat faction, or being adjusted from or to the Orc faction.

Furthermore, doing a fairly extensive Google search, the only mention of "An Orc Priest" or "Orc Priest" ever being mentioned in conjunction with Dervish Cutthroats or being on Dervish Cutthroat faction (and ever NOT being on Orc faction), is this server, or other EMU servers/associated web pages. This seems extremely odd to me.

However, I will continue to look further into this issue if needed.
