Orc

About the orcs: After men, elves and dwarves the orcs - or Blackfurred - are the most important people of Arkania and they live at most in the country called after them, the Orkland. They are a little less tall but stronger than the humans, they got a black fur, long main hair, teeth like a wild boar and an escaping forehead. They worship terrible idols like Tairach, a false god of blood, and most of them live by raiding and killing. Only few try to live from the fruits of Peraine. Yes, sometimes they even unite with ogres or maneaters, whom they even taught their silly language. They are hideous robbers, though, and it is not a long time since they carried death and destruction into the countries of elf and man.

Orcs in Game

To encounter a band of raiding orks is no unusual thing in Arkania, since it is only about 5 years that they tried to conquer the Middle-Realm and some of them now follow the fierce black magician Borbarad who just tries to slave the whole of Arkania. Their home, however, is the Orkland and even after all the explorations they took to gain some ritual items for Tairach, more than half of the Arkanian orks live their. Their capital is Khezzara.

In nearly any adventure you may present some orks in Arkania. They tend to be aggressive, their life is destined to be a life of fight and competition according to their belief. You will find them as helpers of robbers, as robbers on their own raid and being more than the enemy they will never try to surrender.

As a gamemaster you may lead orks like any other kind of NPC (Non-player character), they have their hobbies, their special talents and sometimes even their certain knowledge or craftsmanship. And they are very uncomfortable as bad thinking creatures, but to offer them as a simple sacrifice to the players would rob them the attractivity of evil and would rob Rondra the earned sacrifice.
