Orcs

The orcs are a big and muscular greenskinned race. They originate from the continent of Palerdine. In the past, approximately 450 years ago, the orcs ruled most of the continent with two of their empires, one located in the north one in the south. Both empires feel due to the human expanse and since their fall the orcs scattered into tribes, clans and packs. But some orcs still dream of a vast empire they once had.

Venom Fang Clan
This clan was formed around 370 years ago. The clan is ruled by a chieftan, title you can either born into or earn it in a duel. This clan has adopted snakes of the southern Gretbar mountain range as lifelong and trusted companions. Each warrior of the clan has one snake, who is his friend, not a pet, and they share a great bond. The chieftan always bonds the great snake Mardae Boa, nearly extinct species of snakes. Mardae Boa only breeds once in its life and produces only one offsrping. The chieftan lets it breed with the snake of his best mate.

Vile Spider Clan
This clan was formed around 430 years ago, right after the fall of the southern empire and is ruled by a chieftan. Band of orcish refugees hid in the caves beneath the Gretbar Mountains. There they've found a species of giant spiders, which they tamed, and started to worship a deity only known as the Mother of Spiders. It is unknown how did this cult came to be, as the orcs hide their secrets well beneath the surface.

Night Howl Clan
This clan was formed around 400 years ago, this clan tries to preserve the principles and traditions of the fallen empires and have a deep hatred for the humankind. They are ruled by an elected council and worship the god of Order. They believe to rebuild their empire, but that is currently only a dream because, as the rest of their race, they have to struggle for survival.

Crimson Heart Clan
This clan was formed around 200 years ago by a group of crazed orcs. It is said that these orcs practice blood magic and even fleshshaping. They belive blood is the very essence of life and heart is its core. Defiling someone else's heart is the greatest dishonor to its owner, while eating the heart of your enemies is seen as a mean to gain more power. These crazed lunatics roam around the Gretbar region where they hunt animals and sapient species alike.
