A world where the war between Orcs and Humans have ended and the Orcs have won now they rule the world and the remaining Humans have been forced to seek sanctuary amongst the elves and dwarves as The ruling Orc King as labeled all humans as slaves and those whom offer sanctuary are labeled Enemies of the state as the Orcs have claimed their place as Rulers but there are always those clandestine Orcs that seek to destroy the Orc kingdom maybe they are called the Broken Tusk clan and there's political Clans seeking control as the world is now Orc Clans and the people they have enslaved because their god has given them strength above all things the weak is weeded out and the strong are promoted and those who don't believe them will be crushed by the feet of 1000 Orcs in Raids on their cities or villages putting all races on notice. This could be a good campaign   As humans are so close to being wiped out they are forced to cross bred to survive with the eventuality of the pure human will not exist. Now all other Races shall fear the Orc King, for he whiped out the weak Race of Humans who is next in his sights.   The original Orc King Phulk Sharptusk was exiled from the Sharptusk clan and Gorsh Sharptusk his brother told Phulk he wasn't worth the blood in his veins and the tusks in his mouth and while Phulk was being tied to an X Cross Gorsh slaughtered his Hunt wife Glindala and broke his left tusk and said "for the treasonous acts you have performed in aided the Humans you shall be Exiled." Gorsh looks to Phulk and says “this is a Mercy thank your hypocritical god Malacath that you are my brother or the consequences would be dire you will be forever known as a Broken Tusk to our clan and an Enemy of my state.” “No!!!” yelled Phulk as his dying wife looks up at him with love in her eyes “Malacath calls...avenge me.” and she slowly faded away. Gorsh rather proud of himself starts beating his chest and stands over his destroyed brother he says “there's no vengeance for one such as you you will slowly die in the woods no heirs and no family and nothing but a broken tusk to call your memory ha pitiful Yaguk is with me.” Gorsh raises Ugharbash their fathers hammer up in the air in victory and all other Orcs cheer and scream with acceptance and anticipation of what's next and with one last swing of Ugharbash clan Sharptusk is severed forever   Gorsh's rose to the position through a mutiny as his devotion to Yaguk would not permit him to the following of other gods and Yaguk's hatred of humans can be seen by the rivers of Blood surrounding the new Orc capital of Ugharbash as Gorsh dedicated it to Yaguk.   As Phulk Brokentusk goes on to become a chieftain of the Brokentusk clan which is undermining Gorsh at every turn with his syndicate of Orcs and through his political endeavours as now he is Redding a war on his brother he will deem the Blood War and it begins with corruption from the inside and slowly taking the resources from Ugarbash he reminds himself by taking baths in the Rivers of Blood as he honors Malacath this way and by Malacath he will have his Vengeance.   As clans of Orcs start falling in line behind the Sharptusk flag whilst there are other clans whom feel as if Phulk does as his Eye has been caught by a Human female he wishes to make his Hunt wife as she is as strong as she is fearless, much like his Shield wife whom left him for his brother Gorsh and his previous Hunt Wife killed by Gorsh's hand in front of him in cold blood. Will the Elves and Dwarves back the Brokentusk he wonders. Or prefer to just stay out of it like cowards till the orcs are at their mountain steps who knows.   This story would put Orcs and Humans in direct center of the story build while Elves and Dwarves would be the last line of defense against a massive Armada of Orcs wishing ill will on everyone especially the patriot orcs the Impetuous young their life would be built around what Orcs hold dear Anger Rage and Breeding as it's in their nature and Yaguk bestows these three things redaly.   Welcome to Hyperia a land of wonder and Imagination. This is a land where all races have found some way to use Magic as a energy. There is Sympathy magic that all have tapped into some more then others, and others not so much. As an example the Aurorean Knights of the Arcane have infused, with the help of their Gnomish tinkers and the Eladrin of Glademyst the knights have made a form of Arcana punk weapons. The Dwarves of Marthammor Duin have infused sympathy into a form of Battle Magic but all have some minor form of Sympathy they have studied. The Blodarkh’s orcs of The Red and Kainhurst Castle have developed a blood sympathy being tied to the Healing Church. And it started with Lagerius Perth using his Blood teachings to heal.   There is a sinister plot by the cult of Herne within the Feywild and the Cult of Jericho within the Red to bring forth its chaos on Hyperia. There is a burning hatred for Humans as the Orcs of Ugharbash kill the humans to the point of extinction. The last line of defense is a treaty with the dwarfs and elves to help defend the last human civilization of Aurora. Though the Dark Elves wish to stay Neutral as do the Halflings of Whimsical. Humans seek their days of old when their population wasn't dwindling to extinction. With their heroes the Arcana Knights of Aurora they will bring those days back with their Advanced weaponry and sense of honor. All vying for the control over the Magical Ley lines.
