Orcs

The orcs are among the fallen elder races of the Hierarchy. In their prime, they were the masters of the Tuacan jungles, building ziggurat fortresses of rock and bone to house vast networks of trophy-vaults and gilded chambers. Although the hulking species originally emigrated to Forruin from the red dust world of Choze, the scattered tribes soon united into a society of skilled foresters and woodsmen, flourishing in their new surrounds.

Orcs  - Tuacan forest dwellers resumed their tribal and clannish ways after the Ruining. In old orc society leaders had displayed their right to rule through fears of bravery and renown. After the ruining the new remaining orc leaders needed new feats of wonder to inspire their dispossessed people. Their population was a fraction of what it was and their adopted home was reduced to Ash. One young warrior [...] discovered references to the ancient yeti race in surviving elven tomes, and sought to hunt them for renown. In disturbing the Yeti he sealed the fate of the orcs by becoming hunted in turn.

The orcs brought with them a bloodthirsty culture of sport hunting, wargames, and blood sacrifice to their great bull-god, Titemoc. Yet, after witnessing their deity slain by the Nine Kings, the orcs quickly fell into the servitude of their dark and powerful new masters; as orcs respected power above all else.

When the Kings were deposed during the conflicts of the Ruining, however, and the jungles of Tuacan burned, the orcs resumed their nomadic ways, hunting in great warbands. This served them well until they made the error of hunting slumbering yeti.

The orcish hunters became the hunted overnight, and are now considered either endangered or extinct.
