Orcs

Orcs are humanoids with a green tint. They are on average very tall and large. The mostly live in the Territoire de L’Oubli. According to the biography of the orc, Saakel, some orcs are formed by sleeping in the ground for up to 100 years.

While Orcs are often in clans, they sometimes form larger forces including partnering with dark elves against the forest elves and with other orc clans such as in the case of when 17 orc clans came together with dark elves to invade the central lands under the influence of the necromancer Uskuada.

Orcs can now be found throughout Mundus but rarely are large groups found outside of the Territoire de L’Oubli.

998 - In the south of the kingdom of Andore, the Necromancer Uskuada, had given a lunar stone into the hands of the Orcs, so that a magical enclave could be erected, impregnable without this stone being removed. Standing in the center of the enclave, on a hill behind the Orc camps, stood a totem with grotesque and menacing shapes. A true insult to King Solar, this totem should be invested with the stone of Andore in order to eradicate the threat of invasion by the green people. Entrusting the responsibility of repelling the enemy to General Henryk, King Solar would grant him a province in the event of victory. Because in the event of a defeat, what would remain of the Kingdom?

Moonstone has belonged to the Dark Elves since the dawn of time. They lost it in the last century during the Swamp Wars where it was stolen by orcs. Having learned that the stone was now in the hands of the Lord of Brabancourt, the high council of Nasgaroth made a request to recover their object of worship, but it went unheeded. Political attempts followed one another, but in vain.
