  1. Genuine shaman questions: Do the elemental spirits care if you are orc or not, or do they only care about their area of expertise? Similarly, do any of the immortal spirits care that you are an orc or not? This is a genuine question, because I was always under the assumption that as long as you worship them, they don’t give two shits. Final question, if someone made a non-orc and had them raised with the orcs as a slave, could they potentially earn their way to become a shaman? After becoming an honourary of course.

      I'm not a shaman but I do have something that does involve it (bloodsmithing) which is a feat basically learned through the use of a Farseer

       

      Bloodsmithing is locked to the orcs of the redskins of Raguk clan because they are blessed with red skin, a trait that shows the blessing of one of three main spirits that Clan Raguk worships, Gazigazh. The lore post of Dar Ob Griish and Bloodsteel Smithing go into deeper detail, but it is only limited to the Redskinned orcs. So yes, some immortal spirits do care whether or not you are an orc, and specifically what kind of orc you are (clan, subrace, etc.)

       

      And for your snaga question, of course. Now, i say this not as a shaman but as someone from the Krugmarian orc playerbase: that is how we want someone to learn shamanism. For them to know and appreciate our culture rather than cherry pick the part they want to use for their roleplay.

      The Elementals get their main spiritual praise from the Orcs since they were passed the teachings of Shamanism by Krug and then onto his daughter who was also an Orc. The teachings weren’t passed on by Malin or Horen or Urguan and only conflict with the teachings those brothers passed onto their societies. Even if you are some sort of heretic and wish to worship both the spirits and let’s say the void, you might still contribute to the being of the Spirit but in no way would a Spirit reach out to you since you would rather go about learning other teachings instead of staying devoted to only the worship of the Spirits. It’s only when others try to divide Shamanism and spread it to every other descendant society who’s main belief isn’t Shamanism is the conflicting part, because it’s not very common for other races to have the same type of behavior or culture as the Orcs do (such as worshiping the Fire Spirits by setting cities on fire). Slavery has always been the key to achieving dynamic interaction with other Orcs/Shamans and can earn Honorary and exist in Orcish Society as an equal to the Orcish people hence the term, Honorary Orc.

      From there, it is possible to perhaps then create a Clan, Society, City under the Orcish Country and earn your way to Stargush’Stroh under the Greater Ancestor of the Clan instead using foreign Immortals to invade and settle in the Ancestral Realm. Though many people are often very disturbed by any interaction when they are taken as prisoner and I've seen multiple people throw fits about it. I feel others consider the concept of slavery as too brutal for their liking (even considering every other nation does it whether they are peasants or bondsmen, same ****) but the word snaga translated into Old Blah literally just means, Labor Worker. A Snaga is taken in by a Clan to serve and fight for the clansmen to earn their way and prove themselves alongside their brothers.

      In the current iteration of the lore the spirits will pretty much take what they can get so long as it isn’t going to put them in harm’s way. Immortal spirits can be a bit more finicky since they’re far more unique than the elementals, for example Leyd may not be fond of Elves because he sees them as week though of course an Elf could likely prove their worth through grand feats and all that sort of stuff that boils down to the individuals involved, though really all spirits are typically just trying to find the people who will honor their end of a pact. 
      Slave question has already been answered but for my 2 cents I’d say that Honoraries who prove their might to earn their rank are far more respected than snagas (but that requires a certain capacity to pvp), the most prominent example for that would be Phaedrus.
