Additional Information
Social Structure
The social structure of the Uruque has earned worldwide a bad reputation for being ''primitive'' and ''a system of chaos''. In practice, it's quite the oposite, with Uruque social structure being one of the most strict and organized of any species.
It consisted of a strict hiarchy, which chose the strong first and then the old and thus wise. Uruque society had leaders for everything, leaders within the family, the vilage, the group of friends, the mining crew, everything. If a leader was proven to be weaker then an other member of the group (this was often tested through combat), this other member would naturaly take over. This sense of hiarchy was practiced with both men and woman, but since woman were scarcer and needed to be more protected, they were more often then not protected by the tribe under all costs, making them high placed in Uruque society, although often not having actual power because of their slightly weaker physique.
Geographic Origin and Distribution
Uruque are unlike many other races still bound to the same lands they inhabited a thousand years ago, with the last large migratian being into old Melistern lands right after the fall of the Melistern Empire in 435 AAA.
Average Intelligence
Uruque made no beautiful things, but many clever ones including machines, tools, weapons, and instruments of torture, were delighted by wheels, engines, and explosions, and could tunnel and mine as well as any but the most skilled Dwarves.
Uruque Adrenaline
The type of adrenaline uruque make when in stressful situations, called Numbranaline, has the ability to shut down the processing in the brain of pain impulses from the nerves to actual pain, meaning that the Uruque will still feel everything, but not experience it as pain.

Average Physique
Uruque are strong, really strong. They are also very big, often towering more then 2 meters from the ground up. Uruque have a natural mussle grow acceleration when they reach arround the age of 10, making a 12 year old Uruque boy often then not more strong then the average full grown Human or Eldar.
Body Tint, Colouring and Marking
Uruqe come in as many tints as humans do, only instead of the colors going from pale pinkish white to brown and black, their skin naturaly has less pink color to them. This makes them colored from light grey to some sort of blackish brown, although a more reddish color is also common. As is the same with humans, color depends on area of origin. With some Uruque clans moving arround while others stay in one spot, there has been some mixing going on, but not too much. Generaly speaking, you can say that the further north-east you move, the darker skinned the Uruque become.
