Orc

Orcs are a race of humanoids that have been a threat to the civilized cultures of Tyrril, particularly #eliaish for as long as any can remember.

History

The origin of the orcs was unknown, though they appeared to be non-native to either Eliaish or Morgoth Peaks. The first legends of orcs told of the wars between their primary god Groomsh and Curellon Lurethian, creator of the Elves and veladrin. The latter two races told of how Curellon defeated Groomsh and took his eye; though many orcs denied this charge, they acknowledged Groomsh as the one-eyed god

Culture

Traditional Orcish culture was extremely warlike and when not at war the race was usually planning for it. Most orcs approached life with the belief that to survive, one had to subjugate potential enemies and control as many resources as possible, which put them naturally at odds with other races as well as each other. This belief was spurred in part by Groomsh and his pantheon, which taught that all races were inferior to the orcs. Eyes of Groomsh were orcs specially tied to the one-eyed god and offered sacrifices, read omens and advised tribes through Groomsh's will.
