Odolomar
Odolomar, commonly called Grey Orcs, are Orcs native to The Boneyard. They are the tallest of the Orcs, with grey skin, black hair, and yellow eyes. The Odolomar are a fierce warrior society, and this reputation is what most Humans think of about all Orcs, somewhat mistakenly. They are split into hundreds of tribes under individual Warlords, but all Warlords answer to the Great Khan. Wars between Odolomar tribes are exceedingly common, and are allowed under Imperial rule. These Orcs are prized members of the Empire, and given special provisions not given to the other kinds of Orcs. Most Odolomar are worshippers of The Dreaded One and believe strongly that through chaos and blood, they can return their god to the Material Plane to take his rightful place as Phoenix King.

Ideals
Beauty Ideals
As warriors dedicated to physical perfection, Odolomar value combat prowess in a partner above all else. Scars are considered beautiful, along with balanced and defined musculature. Weakness is ugly to the Odolomar above all else.
Gender Ideals
The Odolomar are a race that believe in personal merit over all else in terms of value to a society. As such, they were some of the first people of Illiria to discard gender roles entirely in favor of letting people fall into their place naturally- at least that is what they believe happens, a process called Grushgahk Ilrog T'tal, literally "the sieve of fate".
