Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arkhandus" data-source="post: 2096480" data-attributes="member: 13966">Contribution:Eyrian half-orcs of second generation birth or later fill many of the lesser aristocratic roles in the bureaucracy of Eyros, and fill up a fair number of the lesser military officer positions.  First-generation half-orcs who don't gain the throne instead fill many of the upper-echelon positions in the Legions and the aristocracy, some becoming magistrates, prefects, consuls, chancellors, or provincial governers, others becoming centurions, legates, and magnates.  First-generation half-orcs are also frequent ambassadors and household managers.  Other half-orcs are unfortunately incapable of receiving much inheritance, and many seek fortune or glory for themselves by training in the Claws of the Dragon style and competing in the tournaments, while others seek answers through the philosophy of the Dragon's Way.  However, the best avenue for second-generation half-orcs and their descendants is to join the clergy of the Draconic Legacy or the Children of the Dawn, though a few find their way instead to the Animus cult.  Many half-orcs cannot, as the clergy can only take in so many, and instead become adventurers, or join the half-orc barbarians outside of Eyros' society to join their cast-off kindred.</blockquote>
