me when ppl say orcs dont have an identity or freedom then say they have too much identity and freedom, then say there are not enough shamans, but there are actually too many shamans. 

I feel as though the orcs are still very haunted by past perceptions, and likely continues to attract certain members of that old player profile, of the formerly found extreme toxicity and near neo-[insert specific Nationalistic German viewpoint from 1940] roleplay which undeniably turned A LOT of players (myself included) away from the orcish communities as more modern views and toxicity enforcement began to spread across the server. How do you fix this? Honestly uncertain, but I would argue there is a distinctive importance in marketing orcs in this newer “rebranded” version.

We've been a toxic/racist free community for the last 2+ years, slavery was abolished then as well as Wud being rebanned since the beginning of Almaris. That era of racist orcs was nearly 6 years ago and I'm very keenly aware of how outsiders refuse to see past that era even though things have drastically changed and none of those players have been around for years.  A brief check of the orcish forums would show how that rebranding has occurred and how different the community is in addition to current culture and playerbase.

Orcs had multiple eventlines during Almaris that involved the larger scale of the world, and since my Rexdom in Almaris (a noteworthy time of reform),  I've probably written around 500ish pages specifically talking about Shamanism, how to play an orc, and all of their cultural facets in guide and prose form.  The same kind of effort can be seen in a lot of orcs who often run events daily, utilize that culture, or have taken up positions in government long term. Even when its broadly advertised people would rather patronize then do the bare minimum of just asking players or checking the forums. 

Shamanism is arguably the largest and most active deity magic on the server, and its relationship with other lore pieces has put it in a more important role within the last few years, the difficulty with it and orcs, and why you see it as insignificant is because of that half-decade long grudge.  We DO do regular events, post on the forums frequently, encourage people to make orcs, but it's required sitting every person down with this viewpoint on racist/toxic orcs isn't true, and even when we do that falsehood is spread regardless.  It's wild to me people who weren't even on the server at the time have better memories of those bad experiences rather then anything recent like the abolishing of slavery, proliferation/revival of Shamanism and so on. How can we show noobs when 50 people come out of the woodwork to lie about the experience?  

TLDR: Orcs already rebranded 2 years ago, and have been active on the world scene/Shamanism since, the issue has been having to battle against false conceptions and people's general apathy about the community. I'll attach my lore hub just to show a brief chunk of what's changed, but if you talk to any of the active orc players you'll be bombarded by their own unique experiences.

i can find more specific stuff if u dm me, otherwise im too lazy :)

Skaatchnak was to be born of Mor'Ghuun and essentially a different generation of orcs around 6.0. With a different section of clans and identities the main theme of the orcs in question were that they had never actually practiced Shamanism in the way Krug's direct descendants did, but still understood the importance of the Spirits- which is why ritual and action was more important to them then just magic. The goal was moreso to get people to take orcs and the faith more seriously in a time when orcs were very memey.

They eventually find their footing and after Krug loses its land the two separate groups had a minor civil war until being swallowed by Krugmar and reforming. During this conflict Ram (the dark shaman clan) ends up joining the Horde and rather then accepting the dark shamans who had recently turned to Leyd rather then Ixli, he killed them off and refused the offer given to him. I end up leaving the server for a while, and return toward the middle end of the character's life, returning to a pretty dead nation of Krugmar with no understanding of Krug and the legacy that he left behind or the paths and identity of different orcs. 

 I restored a bunch of different practices like haruspexy, orcish xionism, helped a bunch of shamans practice better, and eventually led up to the Freygoth v Gentharuz conflict and Azdromoth/the azdrazi branding my character and nuking some of the land outside of Krugmar. One thing despite how messy the land actually looked was how much active conflict went on during the tile between Spirits or different practioners of Shamans on the server.

Despite my clan initially being "cursed" to never practice Shamanism, I end up having it taught to me by my enemies, which kind of ended the cycles of violence between my character and Krugmar and ended that arc of wandering the world.

There's more involved with what happened to them towards the end of their life but that's a brief chunk of their goals from Arcas to Almaris, but that stuff has arguably more generated from interactions then any direct intention to live a specific way or have more broad goals.

i use an axe or a polearm

so true

orc

so true bestie

Lak and Lur are one of the largest clans, Ugluks helped found another settlement part of Krugmar and shamanism is slowly becoming more popular and used again. Orcs in a solid spot.

Life for me is hectic but good

i miss the old orcs
