Clan Lur

[Slothtastic 761]

 

“We are the hunters. Our enemy is the prey”

 

The Lurs are not footmen, they are hunters. The hunt is the most important thing for a Lur and to prove themselves in the hunt is what all young Lurs wish to do. The Lurs have a bond to The Great Lur wolves. The Great Lur wolves are huge beast that only obey the Lur clan. When Lurs ride wolfs they are almost unbeatable in mounted combat.

 

Lurs are most of the time quiet and stoic, from the moment they wake, they devote themselves to the perfection of whatever they pursue. Every Lur strives to perfect the hunt and the rise. They have a strict code of conduct and believe in honour above all.

 

Lurs don't like to deal with politics for they think that staying in an office and discussing politics is extremely boring and would much rather enjoy the thrill of the hunt. But when they need to discuss politics and papers they will do it but not happily. Even so, in polities they believe it is better to be the wolf than the sheep.

 

Lurs are usually smaller than other Orcs but they are much quicker and much more agile. The weapon of choice varies from bloodline to bloodline but all Lurs are masters of the spear.

 

Government: The Lur clan is ruled by a Wargoth who is chosen by either a klomp or unanimously elected by the elders of the Lur. The Wargoth must always listen to the advice that the Clan father will give, the clan father is usually the oldest and most wisest Orc in the clan.

 

Current Wargoth: Jukha'Lur {_Slothtastic_}

 

Current Clanfather: N/A

 

Current Packmaster (Person who takes care of Lur wolf pups and Lur wolves in general, normally being the Wargoth): Jukha'Lur.

 

Elders, an elder of the Lur clan represent the bloodline of one of the heroes of the age of heroes. The current elders are Eath'Lur {Sandk1ng} [Axe]

Bloodlines: Each of the Heroes from the ages formed their own bloodline, they act as a family and as political group in the Lur clan. Bloodlines are many times mixed with each other and with the bloodline of Lur himself. That is why all Lurs usually refer themselves as cousins. The leader of a Bloodline is an elder of the Lur clan and can fight for Wargoth of the Lur clan. The bloodlines and its leaders are:

 

•  
• 
  The Fist Bloodline: The fist are usually the most calm and cold of the Lur bloodlines, they think that physical strength is the purest weapon that a warrior can use. They descend from Tor the fist of Lur. The sons of Tor will go to extreme measures to get stronger and stronger. Their leader is gone.
•  

 

•  
• 
  The Trickster Bloodline: The trickster descend from the Trickster of Lur. They are the most diplomatic and the best at convincing others to do what they want, The Tricksters sons are many times goblins for their founder was goblin. They are often considered to be some of the smartest Orcs arounds.Their leader is gone.
•  

 

•  
• 
  The Wolf Bloodline: The most savage and wild of bloodlines but also the most loyal and trustworthy. The wolves descend from Kurak the wolf of Lur.They are the biggest of the Lurs and their preferred weapons are metal claws that let them act as savage as they want. They also have a closer bond to their wolfs than other Lurs. Their leader is gone.
•  

 

•  
• 
  The Axe Bloodline. Primarily known as the most stubborn and rash of all Lurs, they are strong and powerful and put honour above all other things. They think of themselves as an always improving warrior. They descend from Bralkor the Axe of Lur. The bloodline is lead by Eath'Lur.
•  

•  
• 
  The Sword of Lur. This bloodline is the most agile of all Lurs and some of the quickest as well, they enjoy riding as fast as they can and they descend from Jarkan the Sword of Lur. Their leader is missing/gone.
•  

The Celebrations of Lur:

The Great Lur hunt:

To celebrate the new Wargoth or any won battle the Lur clan will host a hunt in which all Uruks can participate in, the orcs will then hunt great beasts, bringing back their trophies and boasting about how great their kill was.

The Great Feast:

This normally occurs after the Great Lur Hunt, the hunters will take the beasts they hunted and cook them to perfection, serving them for the feast. Of course all Orcs are invited.

The Initiation Ceremony:

Upon the time in an Orc's life when they have finally passed their trials they have an initiation ceremony, normally done in groups of 3-5 the Orcs will be painted in the blood of a wolf, to represent their eternal bond to their wolves. After this is done they will feast on fresh dinner from a hunt. For young kubs who have survived from being hunted from two Lur wolves they are to receive a kiss from the Wargoth's mate (Or the Wargoth if they are a female), if the Wargoth does not yet have a mate then the kubs will have to suffice without a kiss.

 

 

The Trials of Clan Lur:

Trial of Strength:

In this trial the to-be Lur is to fight the Lur Wargoth or Elder to prove their strength.

Trial of Honor:

This trial can be for days or weeks, the to-be will be closely followed, yet the follower will be hidden, being tasked with watching the Orc. If he proves himself honorable he will pass, if he doesn't he will be challenged for who is right in the situation of his dishonorable action.

Trial of Hunt:

The to-be will be tasked with hunting a worthy beast, be it a Khor or bear, he must kill it and bring back a trophy from it. The to-be will be observed by one of the Lurs, to make sure he does not simply take the trophy or buy it.

Trial of Speed:

The to-be will be challenged to race a Lur wolf to a certain point (Lur wolf rped by the owner of said wolf), if the to-be beats the wolf he finishes the challenge and earns the right to call themself a Lur, if they do not beat the wolf they are allowed to continue trying until they can.
 

Cults of the Lur and how they work:


Cults are like sub clans, but a cult is still part of the Lur clan. They obey the same laws and traditions of the Lur clan. But Cults are different because they focus on one particular aspect of the Lur clan. To form a cult the leader must first be a direct descendent of one of the Heroes of the Lur clan, and they must have proven themselves as both a powerful Orc and one who others would follow. The current Cults are:

•  
• 
  Khor cult:
•  

“We are the wild, the unbound”
The Khor are the most wild and savage of Orcs, they descend directly from Kurak the Wolf of Lur.They believe that Lurs should not live in the cities for being in the cities makes them weak. The main Khor tradition is to leave their cubs to be raised in the wilds with Lur wolfs, thus making them more savage and wild.

 

•  
• 
  Gob cult
•  

“We are the guardians”
The Gob unlike others of the Axe family branch are focused on being calm calculative and they know when to use their rage. They created the Gob cult to become the guardians of San’Lur. When they need to protect their homeland they use the anger that their ancestors taught them as a weapon. The Gob went into a kamikaze rampage when they failed their task to protect San’Lur. They became depressed and lost interest in all things that didn't have the final goal of revenge.

 

•  
• 
  Dash cult
•  

“Ours is the speed”
The Dash focus on speed, they are the fastest Orcs in the whole desert and descend from the Sword of Lur.They are agile, quick and ruthless. They host yearly tournaments to see who is quickest of them. They breed their wolfs not to be warrior wolves but to be as fast as possible. The Dash are many times messengers of the Lur.


Traditions:

 

•  
• 
  Birth and young age. Lur cubs are taken to the lair of the wolves, where all Lur wolves have taken as their lair. If the wolves accept the cub then he is truly a Lur. If not the cub is not of Lur blood the wolves will destroy him.
•  
• 
  Coming of age: When Lur cubs reach the age of 9 years they are introduced to a Lur wolf cub. The Lur and its wolf are sent to the wilds to survive while 2 Lur wolves hunt them down. This is to prove that the time of weakness is over, they are no longer prey, it is time to be strong, to be the hunter. The wolf cub and the Lur are bound together not only as rider and mount but as brothers, elder Lurs have grown so close to their wolves they can hear each other thoughts. A Lur will have one wolf in his entire life, if the wolf dies, it is common for the Lur to kill himself, their loss is so great.
•  
• 
  The hunt of the betrayed: In honour of those who died during the Clan Wars the Lur go on a great hunt where the Lurs use black spears and arrows. The beast that are killed in the hunt are put in a great bonfire where they are sacrificed to the spirits ones who were murdered in the Clan wars.
•  
• 
  The festival of “Da Gajutars Dahamab”: A dead festival, the last one was done before the Clan Wars. In that festival was where 75% of the Lurs were killed. This festival is based on celebrating the beginning of the Great Hunt of Lur. Lurs from all parts of the Lur lands used to flock to the city of San’Lur.
•  
• 
  Death of a Lur or his wolf: When a Lur or his Wolf are killed in the hunt or in battle their bodies are brought to their ancestral lands and then burnt. Their ashes go to the wind and will always ride in the wind. The Lur believe that when they die they go to a great plains of the spirit realm where they will hunt with Lur for all eternity.
•  
• 
  Oath to Lur: Lurs promise to always serve Lur, the clan and Krug. They make their oaths on the great Spear of Lur.They believe that their spirits are bound to the spear and the Lur that owns the spear can call upon all Lurs who have made the vow.
•  

 

The Vow:
I swear that I will ride like the wind, hunt like the wolf and kill like my ancestors before me. My weapon belongs to Lur, my body belongs to Lur, my life belongs to Lur. I am loyal above all to Lur, I will die for Lur. I forsake land, wealth and glory, all that is mine belongs to my clan.

Laws:
When time was still young and Lur still walked in this land, hunting with his sons and brothers, he created a set of rules for the hunters. It was called the Code of the Hunt.
The Laws are as follows:

•  
• 
  Only when in great need will a Lur hunt the weak. For there is no honour in hunting and killing something that presents no challenge to hunt and kill.
•  
• 
  A Lur will always seek strong prey, as the prize is greater and he becomes stronger in doing so.
•  
• 
  Never to hurt or kill another Lur outside of an honour duel.
•  
• 
  Obey the leader of the hunt (Wargoth of the Lur clan) with no hesitation. He was chosen by the elders and by Lur himself.
•  
• 
  Never try to take the position of another Lur for your own personal gain. The Clan always comes first.
