THE GEARS:

RAGUK is a machine, and akin to all machines is run through various parts and trinkets which churn it forwards.

• Vulka - The Strategists that bend within Clan RAGUK’s red hue. These orcs have proven either their ability to take charge in battle or devise plans to ensure victory for those of RAGUK. They stand as the overseers to the other gears and diplomats in time of need with the other clans and during foreign affairs. This, however, does not put them above any other gear however as even one of the Jevex Gear is capable of standing up to any Vulka who may be beginning to believe they are above the others.

• Jevex - Workers of the Clan, these Orcs sacrifice themselves to the constant grind of the Clan. These members of RAGUK do a lot of the grunt work, from farming to the required mining, and are unable to own slaves. This is the starting position for any new member of clan RAGUK that is not RAGUK descent. It is not a shame to be a Jevex Gear as all work is viewed as necessary within the Machine, and even the smallest gear is essential. The reasoning for their such low starting status is to give non-raguks a place to prove themselves, hence why all their work but be their own and they are disallowed, slaves. However, if they prove themselves they are capable of removing the Rust associated with them.

• Trokorl - Tinkerers, These orcs are put in charge of inventing new siege machines and work alongside Vulka. These orcs are the masters of creativity and discovering various new ways of how to flat an enemy they come across to sate their bloodlust. It usually consists of goblins, the slightly more cunning and intelligent of RAGUK who channel their bloodlust into machinations of death and secretly serves as those who interrogate slaves and prisoners using their less, flaring discoveries.

• Gentharuz - One of the leading spirits within the clan, the Gentharuz gear is responsible for the mass production and distribution of the greatest weapons and armor  in all of the map. Their craftsorcship is unparalleled in both design and functionality, only using the best of materials to forge their creations, and typically when not forging spend their time working with new metals and ores, and creating new alloys out of their research to test their practicality. The bloodsmiths and spirit smiths lay within this clan and are responsible for properly blessing all weapons to be used by the RAGUK themselves to properly feed their RAGUK pride as the best.

 

HONOR

Within RAGUK, the words of Honor, Dishonor, and Whitewash all take up different names from a different viewpoint of what they mean. Honor in RAGUK is not merely following the rules, but most importantly not being useless and playing a part in the ever turning machine that is The Iron Uzg, as such Honor is Oyeled(Oiled) to represent the clean and efficient function of a member. Dishonor is “Ruzt”(Rust) to signify those who have either lost their functionality or never had one, and Whitewash is “Luzzcrew”(Loose Screw) to show that which has come undone from the functionality of the machine entirely and threatens to unrivaled it in its entirety, so it must be removed and replaced in its entirety. Those who are accused of “Beginning to Rust” are required to prove their significance within the machine, from a simple klomp, to doubling their daily work, in which case they will be considered Oyeled again.

 

TROPHIES

The tradition of decorating one’s blarg [Blah for ‘home’] is long dead. Rotten over time, yet under Ka’nur’s reign, the RAGUKs revive this tradition. Originally, it was common to see heads on pikes and ears hanging from rafters while strolling through the Goi, and it will be common once more. In addition to this, and to show why it would be unwise to dare to oppose the Machine, his advisor Hazurk suggested a new trophy system, though completely to sate his own ego, he additionally wished to give a reason to be feared within the Uzg. These would be trophies to prove oneself in a trial, or do show the countless battles a RAGUK has fought.

 

TROPHY GATHERING FROM CERTAIN RACES:

• SHARA [Human]: The eyes of a human is considered a good trophy, especially in war-times. This is done so because as the shortest living race of the descendants, Hazurk found that through proper maintenance, the fear of a human's short life being cut shorter could be preserved. A common item used to tell stories of greatness.

• TWIGGEH [Elf]: The ears of an Elf is considered a valuable and decorative item. Commonly strung up with multiple ears, these are usually worn as necklaces.

• ZNAKK [Halfling]: Teeth from this horrid and hairy creature could suffice. Though not seen as much in terms of honor, it shall suffice to cover mediocre trials if one does not wish to go out of their way to hunt a larger trophy.

• ZKREW[Whitewash]:The tusk of a Ruzted or Luzzcrew is considered the greatest trophy one can bring to honor themselves. As the Uzg must be feared, those who seek to derail that mission must be executed or humiliated as the worst of all crimes. Their tusks are then collected to serve as proof for the mighty RAGUK's work on that day, usually celebrated with a small feast or gift of slave hunt

((when you read it as Sharia at first and start to laugh then relises it Shara and then kinda feel bad you thought it was the other way around....

Saeed would rember a good old arm wrestle with a orc and how it broke his hand and it hurt for about a year, Shuddering yet smiling at  the memory of the good times and making of a new friend
