DreadKlaw: Variant Orc

These Orcs can trace their lineage back to Gromm a powerful Orc warrior influenced by the God of Fear and Rogues, Sha. Seeing the power Sha could gain over his enemies using fear inspired Gromm to form his own clan based on these two tenets; Scare and Steal. Thy have forged a fearsome reputation as masters of manipulation and plunder. Raised in a harsh environment that values strength and cunning above all, they undergo a rite of passage known as the Trial of Fear upon reaching adulthood. During this trial, young Orcs face a series of challenges designed to test their ability to instill fear and bend others to their will. Those who emerge victorious are bestowed a rare and coveted honor—a juvenile Fearstalker, a creature feared by many in the land. The bond formed between an Orc and their Fearstalker is forged in the crucible of the Trial of Fear, creating an unbreakable connection between rider and mount.
Due to their fearsome and ruthless nature these orcs are highly distrusted among other civilizations in Timeuria. They are generally unwelcomed in most societies.
