The Bok are orcs forged by warfare with a vision of their duchy, ruled by orcs, ever before them as a banner. Because of their ups and downs, they see themselves as the greatest warriors of the age but, also, patrons of fine things. Fortune is too short, brutal, and cruel to not enjoy everything that life has to offer.

Preferred Loadout
The Bok prefer medium armor and shields, particularly the tower shield. This is usually paired with a slashing weapons with piercing weapons basically unheard of: it is associated with humans and their underhanded dealings.
Guns are uncommon among the rank and file due to blackpowder running short so many of the Bok have adopted the longbow as their ranged weapon of choice.
Unlike other orcs, the Bok have retained using linen and cottons for their trademark long coats since the area around the Middle Sea tends to be warmer so buckskin is less needed. These coats, however, at usually worn open, with the lower layers of cotton garments exposed. Even though each has a bright color, the overall effect is eye-catching and patterns have also been widely adopted for both inner and outer layers.
