Orcs
are quick to categorize their environment in accordance
to status. This may cause trouble when they are
confronted with cultures that measure status differently.
A race is judged by its capacity to demonstrate
strength, determination and leadership. Races that
lack these qualities should at least be able to
submit themselves to authority.
The Kharbesh orcs see few races as their allies,
but have been known to carry trolls in their ranks.
The trolls are admired for their size and brute
strength, but they are said to have demanding eating
habits and rash minds that sometimes act on their
own. The troll shamans are often feared and respected
for their mystical relationship with spirits.
Orcs recall the ancient wars against elves and dwarves,
and their regard for the two races is still laced
with venom and fire. However, the Ograkk and Kharbesh
orcs have in recent centuries occupied themselves
with other enemies, namely humans. The Ograkk orcs
have waged war with the northern Isenvor humans,
and the Kharbesh orcs have sporadically fought the
humans of the Odar Fields. The humans are said to
have weak flesh and bones, but impressive battle
tactics.
The Arwondel orcs, once brought to the region as
slaves, now have little in common with the orcs
of Kharbesh and Ograkk. Their sense of tribal belonging
and need for hierarchal structure lives on, but
they have abandoned many of their old traditions
in favor of human culture. The Kharbesh and Ograkk
orcs equally regard the ways of the Arwondel orcs
as foreign.
