Orcs

The first race, originally animated boulders brought to life by Flarg to gather food for His HILL GIANTS. They were adopted by a kindly spirit who became known to them as the Earth Mother. She softened and humanoided them so that they could become something more than animated rocks.
Once they had lands that covered most of The Great Plain. Over time attacks upon them by other emerging races pushed them into the NORTHERN MOUNTAINS.
Over time they have developed God's of their own.
Orc Religion The Orcs have four deities that they worship having long given up on Flarg. The Orc gods represent Strength, Home, Death and Disease, and the Unknown.
GRUMUSH, the One Eyed is the god of strength and war. Orcs have always practiced raiding as their means of creating commerce. The followers of Grumush express that might makes right, and the strong should be able to take what they need from the weak. That is the nature of the world, anything else is a perversion of the natural order.
GILMA, is his consort and the Cave Bear Mother. Gilma signals the way to expand is through increasing the size of the cave. Her focus is on the birthing and raising of the young. Her believers express that more orcs will mean more strength, and thus more lands and food.
KRULL, the goddess of death and disease. Her believers express that death is the completion of the circle of life, and that disease is a natural and vital part of that circle. They shepherd the ill and infirm towards death, with some of the hardiest entering service as priests or carriers. The priests observe the rituals and teachings. The carriers host diseases.
XXXXHHHH (pronounced as a low hiss), the god of the unknown. The orcs have lived with borders on the unknown since they first walked on the planet. Some have followed this past choosing to live on the edges of society, in the dark depths, and the far wilderness. These followers are not priests but skilled trackers and killers with many great skills, they also are often found mounted on giant bats or dire wolves. They function as scouts, explorers, and a tripwire for the Cave.
