History of Clan Gorkil:
The Gorkil Clan originated from Angbad son of Gorkil. A direct descendant of Krug, Gorkil was the second eldest son of Krug, alongside his true brothers and sister; Rax, Lur and Dom. Gorkil was known for his strength and valor. The Gorkil Clan has participated in all the Wars and played a crucial role in Orcish History.
The Gorkil Clan has deep Orcish roots and generally used an example for the “Prime Orc”. They symbolise all strengths of the Orc, as well as all the flaws of the Orcs. The Gorkils suffer from severe bloodlust in battle, sometimes going on a berserker's rage and frenzy, feeling little pain and fighting without exhaustion.
Within Orcish Society, the Gorkil Clan has contributed from the beginning. Mostly providing the Orcish Nation with warriors, commanders and leaders. The Gorkil Clan has had the most Rexes than any other clan. The Clan is traditionally viewed as the leading clan of the Orcs.
The Gorkil Clan has it’s own mount, unique to their clan, the infamous Orcish Warboar. Large, powerful creatures with speed and mass. The Gorkils breed the best Warboars and Jabbernaks within the Orc Nation, and are renowned for their ability to control these beasts and effectively fight on them.
Gorkils are raised to be warriors, commanders and leaders.
The Gorkils bear distinct features, they have dark green skin, darker than most clans. Every Gorkil cub is born with a unique eye colour not seen with other Orcs, they bare roaring red eyes. Gorkils also bear more scars than most Orcs, this is due to self mutilation as a means to show strength and resistance to pain. Gorkils tend to mutilate themselves before battle and sometimes when they greet other Orcs to show their strength and how much pain they can withstand.
The Gorkils hold a deep hatred for magic... During the Rax-Dom wars the Gorkils sided with Clan Dom, due to their discontent towards Rax rulership in Orc lands. Once the Doms began slowly losing the war, they began delving into Dark Magic to help aid them. The Gorkils despised magic and those who used it and withdrew from the war.
The Gorkils tend to worship no spirits, will usually only follow in the steps of Krug and their forefathers. Because of this, Gorkil shamans tend to be Lutaumans rather than Elemantalists, due to their worship of the ancestors. They sometimes rely on shamans to guide them spiritually although they do not play a crucial role in Gorkil rulership.
Chant of the Gorkils:
"Oh uz rand agh roar lyke true Gorkil warriorz
Uz rand agh roar foh all dat uz be
Uz marsh bak frum fah all da Uzg uz plundah
Oh wud tryzuarz, wad plyzurz, den latz peep.
Gugye agh hosh’ye tu latz ugly feorcs
Gugye agh hosh-ye tu latz feorcs ob strig

Foah rycher agh fattah da Gorkil pryvail!"
Traditions:
When a Gorkil cub is born, he fights a poisonous scorpion to prove his strength and worth of life. If the cub does not survive, or does not show a killing instinct. Then it is deemed that the cub is useless and is discarded.
If two Gorkil members are in a quarrell a Gorkil elder may put them through the process of becoming blood brothers by binding the two by blood.
Before going to battle, or doing certain acts, Gorkils mutilate and scar themselves. These scars are a symbol of their strength in the clan.
Some Gorkils mark themselves with clan tattoos, symbolizing their kills. A tattoo, or perhaps a scar or brand of the blood crescent shows that the Orc bearing the tattoo is part of the Gorkil Clan.
Gorkil Tattoos are split up between young and old blood, a gorkil has to gain at least five young blood tattoos to gain one old blood tattoo.
Young blood Tattoos:
Old blood Tattoos:
Example:
The Temur is gained after a strong enemy is killed.
The Sultai is gained after a successful raid which resulted in good plunder.
The Ojutai is gained through leadership.
The Kolaghan is gained through speed of mind and body.
The Dromoka is gained through strength of body, endurance of pain and suffering.
There exists within the Gorkil clan a subculture of speed-addicted clansmen, riding through the desert on red-furred boars. Discovered long ago in the wild, and notable for their leaner frames but vastly increased speed, these red boars were quickly domesticated and bred to serve the clan. Gorkils who rode these beasts quickly became addicted to the high speeds they were travelling at, racing each other throughout the deserts, screaming at the top of their lungs. Dubbed "Dust Ridurz" by their fellow clansmen, they gained a reputation as fast, hit and run shock calvary in battles, their small numbers and relatively fragile mounts being offset by the sheer speed they were travelling at. They are known to commonly don red warpaint to honor and imitate their mounts, although shades of blazing orange and, in extreme cases, bright pink, are not unheard of. They maintain a rivalry with the Dash Cult of the Lurs, both subcultures being extremely similar to one another.
Famous Quotes
"Honour is not something granted to those passive; it must be claimed and worked for with every action and breath. To allow weakness to take root and fester is to betray yourself and every orc around you. I would see you dead before you do that." - Wargoth Mogroka'Gorkil
"Do not fear death, if death calls for you. A death in battle is the most honourable form of death!" - Rex Vrogak'Gorkil at the Battle of The Sands in Elysium.
"Rule what we can. Control what we can't rule. Destroy what we can't control." - Ned’Lud'Gorkil
"Dis rain be dah tearz uf our enemies!" - Warboss Thoren'Gorkil
"All dos loyal to Krugmar, da land made by da creator and shown to Krug where he tested his might against the relentless sand and wind. Krug, who defied Iblees when none other dared, who struck da first blow. We are his sons and daughters da Orcs! We are gathering together from all our towns and cities Those of you who left for da hunt in other lands of Aegis return and help to begin a new chapter in our story. When we have gathered and assembled our leaders. When we have secured our great Desert. When our army echoes across the four lands of Aegis with da drums of our furious resolve. Then we will smash the undead apart once and for all. This is not a clan struggle for power. We are here for our whole races very survival and we won't stop until everyone again fears and respects da sons and daughters of Krug." - Yaghy'Gorkil, At San’Jezal when deposing Warlord Tythus
