Fen Orcs
Native to the world long before the Tear, Orcs had to go through a lot of changes in their culture when Aerion was formed. The loss of their gods and being cut off from most of their tribes changed a lot of the racial dynamics and let the largest tribe fall back into a more feral lifestyle, who later became known as the Savage Orcs. Only a small clan, later calling themselves 'Fen Orcs' native to the Misty Falls remained true to its roots and shamanistic ways. Even after the elves started to expand and claim the Fenglade territory, this clam remained hidden from their eyes for more than a century.
While most of the elves where not comfortable with the orcs around, especially after the war between Ederaa and Cirabaen, an agreement was formed to leave their home behind while having safe passage through the Glade. Rhondam welcomed the Fen Orcs with open arms and helped them found their new home - Kragspeak in the year 467.

Culture and cultural heritage
At first glance the Rhons and Orcs have a lot in common, but while Rhondam's people are more focused on its fauna, the Orcs have a lot of knowledge about the world's flora.
They have shamans that commune with nature and the spiritual world, similar to the Deathspeakers of Hlífjall. Children are raised not only by the parents, but by their clan without question.
Their crafts are still very nature based. Their clothing is mostly leather, furs or woven plant fibers, which are sometimes dyed with natural colors.
Face and body paints are used in rituals and festivities and by the elder Shamans to connect with the spiritual world. Most buildings are made out of wood, even though some orcs are still living in their old nomadic tents made from leather or even under the free sky when the weather is not too bad and a shared big communal fire near the town center.
