Orc
Camue the Jester created orcs in mocking of the elves, and orcs, on the whole, worship their creator to the exclusion of all other gods. Other races would describe what orcs refer to as mischievous as harsh. Orcs' "pranks" in the name of Camue are frequently fatal.
Orcs are emotional beings. From the passion of love to the anger of combat and the exultation of a kill, they experience and exhibit emotion without reservation. The depths of emotion in the moment can force an orc to commit acts of sanity on the spur of the moment.
Orcish tribes rarely stay in one spot for lengthy periods of time, however many follow a well-established migration path that coincides with the seasons or the migration of their primary food supplies.
Orcs revere force and survive by stealing what they require, such as food, slaves, and treasures. They believe that "might makes justice" and will only follow strong leaders who have demonstrated military skill.
Orc tribes follow their food sources' seasonal grazing and migration patterns. Many orcs start their year with a big hunt in the early spring, after their horses have recovered from the winter's rigors. The yearly Tribal Moot brings together disparate bands of regional tribes into one huge encampment in the summer.
The orcs break up into smaller bands again in the fall to make hunting easier and provide meat for the long winter. Orc warriors frequently raid and fight between the fall hunt and the start of winter. With the arrival of winter snows, the orcs congregate in winter camps, occupying the time in ceremonies and dances and attempting to provide ample winter sustenance for their horses if the fall hunt was successful.
Orcs shun civilization, sending emissaries only on rare occasions to bargain for commodities they can't get outside of Valine's villages and cities.
