This chapter presents to you the history of the Orcs of Kara'Kar. All of their secrets are revealed here, and expanded upon from the original text. The entire history, their wars with the hated elves and interactions with other tribes of Lemurias. Including Alexander the Great and his humans.
Introduction
To their enemies, they are brutal and fearsome opponents, without parallel in their ferocity and cunning. To their allies, they are noble and honorable, following the traditions of a rediscovered past. The orcs of Kara'Kar are part of a race that has once again found its true spirit, shunning the cruel practices of arcane and demonic magic for the paths of wisdom and power. Some orcs still hang on to the arcane practices of the past, but their time is fading. Though brutal in combat, orcs fight with a feral grace that equals even the finest fencing of an elven noble. For an orc, skill in battle brings great honor. The concept of personal honor that pervades all echelons of orcish society has made the race more cohesive and more of a threat to their adversaries. Even the naming of an orc is temporary until he has performed a rite of passage. Once an orc has brought honor to his name and the name of his clan, the elders give him a second name based upon his deed.
For an orc, personal reputation is as important as his or her clan, and most will fight to the death in defense of either. This is in drastic contrast to when they were led by the forces tainted by the Burning Legion, and were a bestial force barely controlled by demonic magic. While the orcs might seem quick to anger, they are tempered by the wisdom of their leaders and their shamans. There are few of the demon-worshiping clans left, for the Alliance or the Horde itself has hunted down most of the remnants of such clans.
Long Ago . . .
There was a world that orbited a star far in the galaxy. Called Kara'Kar by the visiting Lemurians, which was the wrong thing to call it, since the inhabitants called it Earth. Kara'Kar was the homeland of the Aboriginal orcs. They roamed the lands of their continent, lived in its jungles and tundras, and eked out an existence as simple farmers, hunters, or herders.
They road on powerful, large wolves called wargs, and tamed and hunted the gazelle and other beasts. They lived a simple, nomadic life. The way of their worship was Shamanism. They were to worship the spirits of the sky, the land, the fires, and the waters. They lived a peaceful life, with the rare occurring skirmish or occasional war. They lived this life, for nigh unto several thousand years.
Three events changed their view of the world forever. The first was the coming of the Gods from the Sky, the second was the Invasion of the Civilized Ones, and the last was the Relocation of them to another world.
