[QUOTE="Sparky, post: 1554568, member: 13681"] Great stuff. I like it. NE sounds fine for the tribe. What is S'Urok himself? Though I guess as a paragon he would be NE? :) I had trouble getting onto the boards to post yesterday. My apologies. A point to clarify - the sea-holts may have been strongholds before the most recent catastrophe, but they were not yet homes to the seven orcish artifacts. The artifacts were created in response to the catastrophe (and had the unfortunate side effect of purging orc kind of its best and brightest) and housed in the sea-holts. S'Urok's ancestors, as the toughest of orc-kind, were given the inland northern sea - the only known land-locked sea. Surrounded on all sides by enemies, cut off from aid from other orc clans, it did not take long before the orcs were driven out of the sea-holt. After centuries of struggle over control of the precious water source, the artifact failed. Within a single century the sea has drained away and much of the area it once covered is an arid wasteland. The warring nations abandoned the sea-holt and fled. S'Urok's people fled north and found a harsh new land and a harsh new master. The orcs live under the yoke of Koir and serve his needs, needs they do not fathom. I'm going to ditch the pantheon in the core books, and will present the new gods and other related things soon.
