Orcs

Basic History

One of the original surface dweller races after the age of the Elder Society, orcs mostly remain in tribal lands in which they take care of each other. They have had little involvement with the re-construction of civilization. Around 150 HRD, the major orc clans led a migration to the Northern Mountains where they made their own home. Since then, they have respected general laws of civilization. In turn, the rest of civilization has respected their boundaries.

Culture

Although they have their own homelands in the Northern Mountains, it is not rare to see them among civilization. Often, if an orc has not found their calling at home, they will travel abroad to find what they believe to be their place. It is not uncommon that traveling itself is what they want.
