Honouraries and Whitewashes

[the 1 bow 1112]

-Honouraries-

Honouraries, or an Honourary Orc is a non-Orc who has adopted the ways of Orcish culture so much so that they are accepted as genuine members of the Iron Uzg. They are permitted to serve in  clans the Krughai, practice Shamanism and over time, may hold positions of authority. Only the Rex can allow people to have the opportunity to become Honourary Orcs, and subsequently, Honourary Orcs. This status is revokable at any time.

 

-Becoming an Honourary Orc-

 

To become an Honourary Orc, the aspiring pinkskin must first seek out a member of the Iron Uzg. Whether it be a pre-existing friend, someone they strike a deal with or whatever the cirumstances may be, the pinkskin needs to have a third party (IE the Orc) support his quest on becoming an Honourary and as such, take it to the Rex. 

 

Once an agreeing Orc has been located the pinkskin must then be seen around the Iron Uzg for a great deal of time to make sure he is known. Ridicule and overall bullying is allowed and even encouraged, to weed out the weak who may attempt to join Orcish society. Once the aspiring pinkskin has made a name for himself to the Orcs, then he/she and his sponsor Orc may approach the Rex.

 

If the Rex agrees, the pinkskin will complete several rituals, first the Rex, the sponsor Orc and the pinkskin will undergo a type of bloodpact, sealing them all together. Then, the pinkskin will complete a harsh 'baptism by fire and blood' ritual, which involves the pinkskin walking through a wall of fire and imersing themselves fully in a pool of blood. Once this is completed, the pinkskin is a pinkskin no longer, and has become an Honourary Orc.

 

Should the Honourary Orc commit crimes against the Iron Uzg or betray them, the sponsoring Orc will be held equally as responsible if not more so.

 

-Privileges of an Honourary Orc-

 

- Residence in the Iron Uzg

- Permission to join clans

- Obligation to serve in the Krughai

- Permission to learn Shamanism

- After a great deal of time, eligibility to hold titles of Authority

 

-Whitewashism-

 

Whitewashism, or the act of being a Whitewash is defined by an Orcs absence of living with in Iron Uzg territory, An Orc who is considered a Whitewash are regarded as sub-Orcish, and receive no respect nor acts of kindness from a normal Orc. It is not uncommon for Whitewashes to be purged in mass huntings to cleanse the realm of their blight and ease Krug's rage at his betrayed sons. However, it is not unheard of for Whitewash Orcs to rejoin Orcish society should they prove themselves to the Iron Uzg. Only the Rex can officially deem an Orc Whitewash, and only the Rex can accept them back into Orcish society. However, general common sense is present amongst Orcs, who if they see another Orc possessing Whitewash qualities, may and are permitted to act on their own accord.

 

-Being a Whitewash-

 

To be deemed a Whitewash, an Orc must be disassociated from the Iron Uzg. Whitewashable acts are;

 

- Living with foreigners in foreign nations 

- Mating with non-Orcs

- Practising magic outside of Shamanism

- Practicing Necromancy

- Worshipping non Immortal, Ancestral or Elemental spirits

 

Should an Orc posses one or more of these qualities/traits, then they are considered Whitewash. 

 

-Returning to the Uzg-

 

Only the Rex can permit Whitewashes to return to the Iron Uzg. It is no easy feat, and comes with numerous trials and rituals. The Orc must prove that they have forsaken their disgraceful habits and ways, and  have become iron, no longer are they silk.
