ORCS FOR DUMMIES

WHAT ARE ORCS?

ORCS are the sons and daughters of KRUG, one of the first brothers that each race is descended from. They have three sub-races: goblins, uruks, and ologs. They follow the faith of spiritualism culturally, as their ancestor KRUG and his first children did. They are known for their shamanism, size, and mightiness, along with their diverse and unique culture. Orcs have a bloodrage due to the curse that every descendant received; if they have not killed someone in a long time, they will be blinded with wrath and aim to kill anything that moves. But due to their blessing, Orcs will show honor even where there is none.

 

 

WHAT IS SPIRITUALISM?

Spiritualism is the belief in and worship of the spirits (beings that range from ancestral orcs to immortal god-like elementals). The common practice for ORCS is to have a couple of patron spirits that they worship and use to shape their everyday lives. For example, a blacksmith would worship Gentharuz or Azog, thanking them for the ability to smith a great weapon or hoping to smith as well as they could.

WHAT DO ORCS LOOK LIKE?

ORCS range in size due to their many sub-races and their naturally denser muscle mass. All of them have two things in common: their tusks and pointed ears. Orcs are also known for their unusually diverse range of skin color. Due to KRUG being burned by the fires of Iblees, he had turned green. However, many of the orcs of today are highly distinct in their skin color, being able to range from a sea blue to even a crimson red.

 

WHAT ARE THE SUB-RACES OF ORCS?

GOBLINS are the smallest of the three, standing from 3' 6" to 6', with a physique similar to that of an average elf or human. They are the smartest of all descendants.

 

URUKS are the most common subrace, range in height from 6 to 8 feet, with physiques that are typically large at around 600 pounds due to their denser muscle mass. Uruks can vary in their physique. They are twice as strong as the other descendants, though they have the same mental capabilities as the others.

 

OLOGS are the largest of the three sub-races. They are 8 to 10 feet tall, weigh up to 1000 pounds, and require a creature application (CA) to play.

They are also the dumbest of the races, having the mind-set of an average child. They are four times as strong as other descendants.

ORC CULTURE

ORCS are known for their unusual culture, built around hard work, spiritualism, and their bloodlust. They worship the spirits and follow what their ancestors have done for them, trying to do the same. To prove to KRUG that they are worthy, to show honor in their lives, and to make their ancestors, spirits, and their brethren proud.

 

An ORC is blessed with honor, and the way they show this honor is by not beating the weak, as well as not killing children. If an ORC is seen not upholding the standards they are supposed to promote, they will face punishment. By banishment or worse.

COMMON MISTAKES 

There are many common mistakes about orcs, I will list a few;

 

ORCS NEED BLAH TO SPEAK TO ONE ANOTHER

‚BLAH’ is the traditional language of ORCs, many speak it to one another, and those that have not gotten used to it might have trouble reading it. This

leads to the common mistake of ORCs viewing ‚common’ as dirty, most do NOT. It is completely fine to use common, many orcs now a days have done so by using it like elvish. (mixing it together)

 

ORCS ARE DUMB

Due to OLOGs having the mind of a child, the common mistake of all orcs being dumb has risen. It is too, untrue, goblins are the smartest of all descendant races.

 

BLAH IS AN ACCENT

’BLAH’ is often mistaken to be an accent. Though again, it is not. It is a language that is mixed with common and usually spoken in broken common too. 
 

BEING A SCHOLAR OR BEING ‚NON-TRIBAL’ LEADS TO WHITEWASHING.

Not all orcs are tribal. Infact, the culture as a whole has recently been turning to leave that behind, with krugmars ‚age of fire’ a more modern set of orcs. Whitewashing is the act of an orc being banished from the orcish culture as a whole, and being seen as a non-orc. The only reason a ‚scholar’ would be seen as one would be due to them performing dark arts or betraying orcish culture.
