Orc

Orcs have been around ever since the beginning nobody knows their true origin or purpose but are normally frowned upon by the other races of their realm due to their brutish looks and their violent nature. They are strict in their traditions and stick to their old ways as this is the way it is meant to be and keeps order within the clans.

Origin

Nobody knows when the orcs first came to be. They were first mentioned in old tales to spook human children from leaving their dwelling at night, ''Beware the darkness, the green men have cometh, The spawn of hell. Step into blackness, the green men have cometh, collect you they will no time for farewells''. Rumor has it that they were made from jelousy which broke out from the old gods. Their creator wanted to bring ruin to dwellers of the realm and take it for their own, so they created orcs. A brutish mutation of elves twisted to be stronger and more savage with no consideration of any other race barely their own ownly to gain power and respect by combat rather than wisdom. Only through time other sub races came to be and seperated from their own way in the hope to be accepted by the world and have an easier life.

Sub races

Orak-Gru-Ba-Dur (Orcs of the sun) Red skinned orc are commonly found in the warmer climates but can be found also in the green valleys, they migrate in winter to hotter surroundings following migrating animals. They mainly live on a diet of meat and potatoes. Eating vegetables keeps the environment lush with animals but the other races of Orc see this as soft and as a result call this race the Mash-broth-Kan (soft-blooded-clan). This clan does not follow the Orak-bran-trak (baby test) or Brat-Challack-Gru-Pollack and will support any of their kin no matter their outcome. They are known to mix with other races away from their tribe due to their slightly softer nature, venturing out to small villages offering trade (mainly excess animal pelts in exchange for stale ale). They wear minimal armour due to the weather conditions and are slightly smaller build than the other race classes. Orak-Gru-Ba-Dook (Orcs of the mountains) Orcs of the mountains are blue/grey skinned hard folk that do not shy away from the harsh environmental conditions clans are little in numbers due to lack of food, and breed according to food availability. Clan size normally numbers around 5 - 20 depending on how harsh the winter months come. They consider them selves the strongest subclass of the race, they have been known to speak to the neighbouring races but exchange little words and prefer the mountain terrain and get home sick in easy terrain. They wear thick fur pelts, hide boots and trousers and are skilled and a variety of weapons. They are muscular build with long dark hair and beards. Grun-Orak (Green Orcs) The green skinned orcs are are the oldest known subclass and the most common orc race in all their realm due to unmonitored breeding, their large numbers end up in the Green skins raiding due to a lack of food and will drain all the local area dry of all wild life and will then migrate or raid a settlement and populate their until all resources are gone. They wear minimal armor due to their numbers and will use any weapons they can get their hands on. The strongest of the clans are the only ones worthy to wear armour and have the weapons available. Frevak-Orak (Wild Orcs) Any Orcs that are banished from their clans may choose to live in solitude or will form their own clans and may stray from the old path with all orcs follow as a guide in life set by their old gods.
