	When Ulm the Caretaker broke the rules of his father Aonir and became Zarach the Bloodthirsty, his first goal was to create his own race, a people who would follow him blindly and worship him only. Driven by this desire, he began to shape new forms of life, moulding them with his will, and produced all manner of heinous creatures. Incomplete and deformed were these beings, horribly disfigured and unfit to survive for long, let alone breed.

Incomplete and deformed were these beings, horribly disfigured and unfit to survive for long, let alone breed.

	Enraged by many years of fruitless ~~labor~~, he descended to the earth and stole the children of the noble races, races that had been created by the natural order of his father. Abusing the perfection they had received through Aonir’s power, he infected them with his evil and formed them to his liking. Thus he was able to create his own race, strong and enduring creatures in which he instilled a bloodthirst and longing for battle. He named his creation “orc”, which in the dark tongue means “conqueror”.

	They were chosen to be the bearers of his will, to be dogs of war, existing only to mercilessly conquer all other races and taint Aonir’s world with the sign of the Blood God. In dark temples in the middle of the steaming jungles of Xu he gave them life and from there, he drove them out into the plains, where the orcs’ ~~existance~~ began. It was a brutal and sparse life that the first tribes led, but with their bestial instincts and their seemingly endless endurance, they not only survived, but increased their numbers rapidly. Great hordes soon began to scour the lands, looking for prey, and in their settlements the sound of blacksmith’s hammers was always to be heard, forging iron into make weapons. Their instincts often drove them to imprudent behaviour, yet a part of the old races’ wisdom survived within these beasts. An orc may be greedy and combative, but he is not stupid.

	Zarach’s nefarious plan to conquer the old races might even have succeeded, had his orcs not been so eager to do battle, even against each other. Time and time again, bloody wars erupted between the tribes, and only few leaders were ever able to unite the tribes – and then only for a short while. If ever a tribe leader were strong enough to assemble the armies of all tribes for an extended amount of time, the other races would hardly stand a chance. Even now, most tremble in fear at the sound of orcs crying for blood.

With their backs against the wall, the [[Orcs]], [[Norcaine]] and [[Trolls]] built a fleet of ships that would carry to safety across the sea - while many of them bravely stayed behind, sacrificing themselves to secure the future of their people.

The vast majority of Orcs worship their creator, the Renegade Zarach, as their main deity: their actions and warmongering often reflect this, as they do it in hopes of bringing glory to his name. However, there are groups among them that have taken to worshipping made-up idols as secondary deities, such as the [[Sharok]] Orcs praising [[Mugwa]], or the orcs of the [[Iron Storm]] the [[God in the Stone]].

The culture and hierarchy of the Orcs are based on the strength a member can display.

They are warmongers by nature, divided into tribes, the main of which are the [[Sharok]] and the [[theClans\|Iron Storm]] on Fiara, and [[Grarg]] on Urgath. Due to this, quarrels and disputes are common among them.

However, he was unable to create life like his father [[Aonir]] once did, so he roambed across [[Eo]], stealing many of its creatures and brining them to his temple on Xu where he would reform their bodies to his wishes, creating the Orcs.

Though allied with the Elves and [[Dwarves]], their forces were pushed back, eventually resulting in the Hybernian Empire splitting apart into the kingdoms of Nortander and [[the Highmark]] on Fiara, and [[Empyria]] on Xu.

The 150-year-long war was ultimately decided in their favour with the intervention of the [[Guardians]].

Human lives are short compared to many of Eo's other races, thus they often turn to religion. They are primarily devoted to [[Aonir]] and the Guardian [[Tiara]], though, multicultured as they are, some devoted themselves to the worship of other deities, both good and evil.
