Orcs gather in tribes that exert their dominance and satisfy their bloodlust by plundering villages, devouring or driving
off roaming herds, and slaying any humanoids that stand against them. After savaging a settlement, orcs pick it clean of wealth and items usable in their own lands. They set the skeletal remains of villages and camps ablaze, then retreat whence they came, their bloodlust satisfied.

Orcs worship Gruumsh, the mightiest of the orc deities and their creator. The orcs believe that in ancient days, the gods gathered to divide the world among their followers. When it was Gruumsh’s turn to select a home for the orcs, the other gods attempted to play a trick on him. When Gruumsh claimed the mountains, he learned they had been taken by the Dwarves. He laid claim to the forests, but those had been settled by the Elves. Each place that Gruumsh wanted had already been claimed. The other gods laughed at Gruumsh, but he responded with a furious bellow. Grasping his mighty spear, he laid waste to the mountains, set the forests aflame, and carved great furrows in the fields. Such was the role of the Orcs, he proclaimed, to take and destroy all that the other races would deny them. To this day, the Orcs wage an endless war on Humans, Elves, Dwarves, and other folk.

The Orcs

Deep in the mountains and jungles of the southern lands, the guttural chanting of the Orcs echoes through the caverns and valleys surrounding the great volcano, Burz'kal. The clash of blades reverberates like thunder, heralding the presence of the mighty Orcs—towering warriors of unmatched strength and ferocity. These green-skinned champions live to honor their god, Gruumsh, the All-Goth, whose primal power flows through their veins, driving them to battle with relentless fury.

Yet not all is as it seems. Behind the scarred and battle-hardened chests beats the heart of the noble savage. The Orcs of Burz'kal Hont-Ob are bound by a code of honor and loyalty to their clan. While many outsiders see only their brutality, few truly understand the deeper purpose that guides them. They are Gruumsh's chosen, shaped by the elements of earth and fire, forged through their struggle against the ancient fire elemental Igneos, and molded by the trials that tested their strength and resolve.

To the untrained eye, they are fearsome warriors and relentless conquerors, but to those who dare to learn their ways, the Orcs reveal a society where strength, unity, and the sacred teachings of Gruumsh guide every action. Each Orc strives not just to survive but to prove their worth to the All-Goth, to honor their clan, and to endure the great trials of the world.

Come, sit by the fire. Taste the meat they have hunted, and listen to the shaman's words. For in the flames, you may hear the voice of Gruumsh himself calling you to the raw, untamed struggle of life.

Gruumsh summons you to battle. Will you answer his wild call?`
