the Great Spirits

Orcish religion primarily centers around ancestral worship, honoring those that came before them. As such, most clans have their own set of ancestral spirits that are called upon; however, three major Greater Spirits are universal to all of the clans.

Frun

Great Spirit of Community

One of the more important greater spirits of the Orcs, Frun embodies unity, an important concept for the highly communal Orcs. They are considered vital to the survival of the Orcs who traveled to the Frozen Expanses, and therefore those Orcs have named themselves Frunites in their honor.

Utaki of the Breath

Great Spirit of Creation

Utaki, the greater spirit of creation, is nearly universally considered to be the creator spirit of the Orc people, breathing life and thought into their long-ago ancestors. As such, those who still walk the ancient paths of their forebears have named themselves Utakics after the spirit.

Makhara the Marcher

Great Spirit of Destruction

Makhara is the opposing spirit to Utaki, a destructive goddess who deals in death. For every Orc who falls, Makhara is there to take back the breath that Utaki placed in them, and to recycle that breath back into Utaki’s hands. If many Orc clans march against a foe, Makhara is the banner under which they unite; to right the balance of life, death must walk amongst.
