Orc

Civilization and Culture

History

Orcs have a long and storied history in Prime. They are direct descendants of the Archborn. Gruumsh heavily influenced scores of Archborn over centuries and the result was the evolution of the orc.
Contrary to popular belief, orcs are not inherently evil. The seed of evil influence among this species stems from one individual. One god. Gruumsh. As he is their original creator, this is something the species has long struggled with. Many orcs embrace his influence and act with evil intentions in the world. More oppose his influence and live peaceful, good lives.
