Orkovs

An extinct sentient species that once inhabited the Menian Plateau. There are few remains of their architecture, bones and ideals.
The scant drawings and murals found presented Orkovs as muscled bipeds, larger than humans, thick-skinned and endowed large tusks on their lower jaw. No clear correlation has managed to tie the Orkovs to the other existing species such as the Demons, Lega, Long Mi or the Ahurans.
