Orc

In the world of Myoth,   The main Orc City in The Great Expanse is very Matriarchal, this is mostly because the males were subjugated with the help of the allied forces (humans, elves, gnomes, etc) because of their inability to control their bloodlust.   At the time, a female Orc made a pact with the alliance that she would allow them safe passage to kill the current ruler on the condition that she succeed him and work along side them. Of course, like typical evil character fashion, she took her handmaidens and betrayed the allied forces while both sides were weak, using the magical items and new technologies at her disposal (human / dwarf technology, some elven / gnomish magic) and other resources. Exiling them from the land and using this knowledge to force the males into a more docile state long enough to segregate them.   The Male Ocs that were captured were put into camps where they were to reside until summoned. In order to win their place amongst the females, a handful of Male Orcs per year will battle in a Gauntlet, racing each other through the great canyon to reach the grand arena, at which point they must face a series of harrowing battles. Those who survive are then made into slaves and workers to toil amongst the females, though there are other tribes that have their own ways of functioning in the 'Great Expanse', most, if not all the Orcish tribes (even those who remain stuck in their old ways) are evil. This is because of the harsh environement in which they live and the cursed blood within their veins. They are brutal and value strength above all else.   In Aurelion however, they are a lot more chill. They are still Matriarchal but their efforts are more into combustion oriented machinery, hunting and some of the best butchers. They are more adaptable, though they are not the trend makers (like Dwarves and Gnomes) they are skilled in things relating to mass production.   The more Neutral / Good Orcs can be found in Aurelion, mostly because these ones have had more contact with other races, so their genealogy has been watered down. True Orcs are far extremely hostile.
