History

The orcs emerged almost a millennia after the end of The First War, angered by the blessings that the Ðíos had granted the descendants of the four Tuath heroes, Křacos planned on cursing and corrupting them all. As the elven races grew in number and started to depart from Mag Mell Křacos corrupted them; however, the Ðíos intervened and managed to save half of the elves. The other half became orcs twisted abominations of what they were and would be, forcing them to flee south, with all except the Ghūls leaving Ecíos. The other orcs fled to the southern continent known as Moyesh where they warred between each other and the Makhai that resided in the far southwestern corner.
