Orc

The Orc clans where first encountered around 900 years ago, shortly before the unraveling, which it is believed they had a large part in orchestrating. Shortly after their first encounter the Orcs invaded the continent of Asterul, going so far as to threaten to wipe out all other nations. When the unraveling occurred large parts of the Orcs commanding structure evaporated leaving the remaining Orcs to scatter and hide wherever they could. What followed was a period of fear, as Orcs hid from the other races, who believed the Orcs responsible for the chaos, destruction and death caused by the unraveling. The hunting continued until a small band of Orcs managed to earn the protection of an village leader by saving his daughter from a band of attacking bandits. Once given a small chance, the Orcs quickly proved their worth by being excellent craftsmen, woodsmen and defenders, showing a fierce loyalty towards those that showed them kindness. It quickly became apparent that the remaining Orcs had no recollection of why the Orc clans attacked or what caused the unraveling, but that they believed it was caused by the gods as a punishment of some terrible sin.
Over the following centuries the Orcs proved to be trusted allies to the other races as new clans, largely formed by members living in the settlement of other races, formed and gave the Orcs a form of culture of their own. They proved instrumental in the dragon hunts, protecting their weaker friends and saving many lives with acts of heroism.
Currently Orcs live alongside the other races in familial groupings in cities or in smaller villages formed around several families of the same clan. The clans consist of several familial units, who not always live together but are connected by networks of clan houses and messages using animal messengers. The clans tend to be populated mostly by Orcs but the can form alliances with other groups, or adopt new members from different species. Currently the clans exist together in relative peace, even as there is friction between them over territory and traditions, as the Orcs don´t have a universal belief system.
