[QUOTE="Tales and Chronicles, post: 8208080, member: 6871653"] I a future game, I'll try to make the Orc (from [I]Orruk[/I], meaning ''[I]t[/I]he people'' in their language) more of a way of life akin to the Qunari from Dragon Age. [LIST] [*]You are not [I]an[/I] Orc, you [I]are[/I] Ork, meaning you can be from any origin and still identify as Ork if you follow the harsh set of rules and precepts of their belief. [*]They live highly regimented and organized lives, where each member has a role in the society, chosen for them at a young age by the Maidens of Luthic who raise all children commonly. They do not make difference between men or women; the only important is the role you have to further the advance of the Orruk. [*]They keep to themselves most of the them until they are asked by a superior to venture in the lands of other humanoids. The Ork people often tries to conquer the lands of the men, elves and dwarves that they see as decadent, lazy and chaotic, to bring them the way of the Ork so they can live more efficient lives. [*]Their long tradition of waging wars allowed them to develop highly advanced form of medicine, weaponry, architecture and other sciences, but they are really reluctant in sharing them, seeing it as the property of the Orruk.
