Ruk Orchold (ROOK)
the First Among the Wilds
the Ruk are a Orchold based out of the ancient elven ruins of Gul Tora in the south-center of Scaro Wilds in Tinjir. The Ruks are a large powerful community, holding sway over most of the other orcholds of the Wilds through brute force.
The Ruk are said to have the raw physical power that is in their thoa blood, with the cunning of the lhaka orc, making them deadlier than any other in the Wilds. They are also one of the few tribes that have set aside orc tradition of not wearing heavy armors. While other orc see armor as the weakness of humans, the Ruk, like the Besed of Lhakamed see it as an added power for them. With this they have taken control of the Wilds and pose a real threat to the human nations that have boxed them in for generations.
They model their armor after the Immortal Legion of Nugator, who they see as worthing foes. Ruk policy in the Wilds is Immortals are to be killed on sight. They will not be enslaved, captured, or defiled in any way out of respect for these warriors. The legionary's body is to be burnt, anything surviving the flame can be claimed by the orc who slayed the knight. This usually means armor and weapons, which are kept and added to the armory of that orc.
