Family names

The Orcs of Elios do not have the normal naming traditions seen among other races. These Orcs were magically created centuries ago by magic and divinity as a last ditch effort by King Orcanthalas. This caused many to become very savage and without reason. Over time however, most began to regain the knowledge of their past variants. Now they name themselves with parts of words in their old Elven language.

Ideals

Beauty Ideals

The orcs of these tribes have no need for beauty in the same sense as others. For these tribes, scares are seen as beautiful as it shows both sexes that the individual is a true warrior and fears nothing.

Gender Ideals

Orcs obviously know the difference between males and females, but other than procreation they do not acknowledge gender in their day to day lives.

Courtship Ideals

Sometimes males or females looking for a life partner will add a few trinkets, such as bones, claws, feathers or scraps of fur, to their armor in hopes that their interest will look their way. For the most part however, both sexes will just tell the other that they are now mates.

Relationship Ideals

Once in a relationship, Orcs are in that relationship for the rest of their lives and if one partner is to parish, the other remains alone for the remainder of their life.
