Scientifi cally engineered to be formidable warriors, the orcs have been one of Aarklash’s most warlike peoples since their creation. Proud and strong, they have broken the chains of slavery and are fi ghting for freedom. All the orcs have ever known is war, but they are determined to build a peaceful civilization upon the ruins of the Rag’narok. == Chronology == *808 Creation of the orcs in Shamir. *852 Orc uprising. *1 004 Exodus of the Behemoth.Meeting between Chief Vijkhal and King Gorgyn of Alahan. *1 005 Battle of Bariagord.Trial of Jackal’s den. *1 007 Battle of the Temple of the East. == History == Th e technomancers of the Scorpion, in their quest to engineer an army of slaves that would be both strong and fast breeding, created the orcs in their cloning tanks during the age of steel. Th is was a major mistake on the Syhar’s behalf: the orcs rebelled in 853 and their escape was a bloodbath. Most of them found refuge in the parched canyons Bran-Ô-Kor; others crossed the continent to establish themselves on the frozen heights of the mountains of the Behemoth. Centuries have passed without the orcs being able to found a nation or get any kind of recognition from the other peoples of Aarklash. No matter where they tried to settle, it would emerge as a constant theatre of conflict between Light and Darkness; unwelcome on their own land and caught between a rock and a hard place, the orcs were forced to keep fi ghting for survival. Nevertheless, they managed to gather in tribes organized around their chiefs. Both communities fi nally managed to re-establish contact when the Rag’narok burst out. Inspired by the dream of fi nally forming a sovereign people, they left their homes and took destiny into their own hands. Th e unbelievable violence of the Rag’narok, which had long turned their refuges into battlefi elds for Light and Darkness, had blown away their hopes, as they fl ed to avoid destruction. When the diff erent orc communities fi nally met, it was on an even larger battlefi eld: Avagddu, the crossroads of civilization. Accompanied by the other peoples of the Paths of Destiny, they gathered around the Eagle and fought fi ercely for every blade of grass, every thicket and every tree of their new promised land. so long. Tree-Spirit's alphabet http://i.imgur.com/EJorL1I.png?1.png == Rackn'arok == Th e orcs have understood that the Rag’narok is unavoidable. Th e Armies of the Ways of Light and the Meanders of Darkness are meant to tear each other apart. In the end all there will be left will be ruin and dust. Th e orcs will still be standing though! Th eir people, inspired by ideals of freedom, are determined to found their own civilization around the Tree-Spirit even if it means resorting to brute force. Th e other nations are giving them no other choice. Th e ferocity of the orcs towards their enemies has doubled since the reunion of the two tribes: nothing can prevent them from accomplishing their destiny. Th e orcs have many reasons to fi ght. First, they must ensure their survival. Th ey have rooted the Tree-Spirit in earth that has been burnt many times and drenched in the blood of even more people. Th e feeling of brotherhood holding this young nation together is a matter of survival. Second, orcs cherish their freedom above anything else and many are those who would like to see them in shackles once again. Having once broken their chains, they are determined to break the necks of anyone attempting to oppress them. Finally, the orcs fi ght to emerge victorious from the Rag’narok. Once the war is over their civilization shall stand proud on the plains of Avaggdu. Only then will the warriors be allowed to bury their weapons and, at last, taste the peace they sought for so long. http://i.imgur.com/bqqHQ8V.png?1.png == Army == Th e army of the Tree-Spirit is characterized by the strength of its fi ghters. From their point of view, the best way to protect oneself is to crush the enemy before he even realizes what is happening. Perpetually at war, the orcs do not number that many yet. Even though they show great endurance in combat, they do not have the means to manufacture elaborate armor and complex ranged weapons. Th ey rely on rudimentary, yet tough, technology and on material looted from the enemy to supply their army. Any other weakness is compensated for by the intervention of shamanic spirits summoned by their magicians or by the blessings Elokani bestows on them through his faithful. Th e orcs believe in a strong mind in a strong body! Every orc is a fi ghter who will raise his weapons whenever the wind carries the echo of war. Brutes and wind warriors form the most numerous units of the Tree-Spirit. Th ey are supported by crossbowman and incendiaries who, after having covered the advance of the rest of the army, will gladly jump into the fray. Jackal warriors and stone warriors are the elite of their people. Equipped with oversized weapons and hardened by years of battles, they are a challenge for anything sent their way. http://img4.hostingpics.net/pics/697527treespirit.png
