SOURCE OF MAGICStandard D&D--magic is elemental and planar energy focused by mages and sorcerers.STATE OF RELIGIONStandard Greyhawk Pantheons.  PCs worship Orc Gods provided by DM.  Are they watching the PC's petty struggles?  Do they care?  More importantly, do they have a sense of humor?CIVILIZATION/TECH LEVELMid to Late Medieval technology.  The Orcs are behind the average tech of the world.  They have mix of early medieval and scavenged human equipment.  PCs are used to being cringing tribal cowards, and might have trouble "adjusting" to human customs.Okay, enough examples...just got creative and have waaaay too much free time.  Hope this helps.</blockquote>
