ASHZ-OC
ORCS,
THE ("NOBLE
ORCS")
The
orcish
tribe known as the Ashz-Oc ("Noble Orcs") live in the
southern hills and valleys of the Prominent Mountains
in Northern Sarvonia. They're famous for their military strength and
their skills in combat, but also for their strong steel and dyed clothes.
Although most other races see orcs
as hostile monsters, the Ashz-oc became known as honorable and worthy enemies
despite many raids that were caused by clans from their lands. Most of them are
not interested in conquering more lands, but defending what they believe is
rightfully their home since they crossed the mountains.

LOSH-OC
ORCS,
THE ("TRUE
ORCS")
The
orcish Losh-Oc ("The True
Orcs") tribes live in the harsh hills of Oro north
of the Tandalas, forming a loose
federation of related clans and
families. Therefore they are also refered to as the "Orcs of
Oro". They see themselves as the only
orcs that still follow the religious trails of the
Old and the ones that will gain fame when the "world will fall apart" as it has
been in the old times with the Fall of
Fá'áv'cál'âr.
From their point of view the arrogance of the
elves and the ignorance of
man were the
fault for the Rage of the Gods and
with this argument they think it justified to attack and
massacre all the other races in Northern Sarvonia. The Losh-Oc
are even hated by other
orcs like the Ashz-Oc who
call them "unhonorable scum"
and "barbaric".

GOB-OC
ORCS,
THE ("GOBLINS")
The Goblins are often treated
as a race of their own, though in fact they have orcish
origins and are categorized by scholars as the Gob-Oc Orcs. It was not until
centuries after the Third Sarvonian War
(298-203 b.S.)
when rumors spread about this
new race living deep under the Tandalas. The vast cave systems once created by
the Ylossian dwarves had become
the home to a powerful but unknown orcish nation that
seized it in the aftermath of the war. Most of the tunnels used by the advancing
armies were destroyed, but the Gob-Oc proved to be as determined and energetic
as the dwarves in working the stone and in later
centuries they reopened new routes to even greater cave systems which (at least
it is said) connect nearly the whole
Sarvonian North with the Tandalas.

OSTHER-OC,
THE ("MOUNT
OSTHEN
ORCS")
The
orcish Osther-Oc
tribes inhabit the
Northern Sarvonian region of
of Caael'heroth and have played a key role in any military conflict fought by
the dark elven cities of the north for
centuries. The Osther-Oc are
mainly warlords and mercenaries who offer their services to the
elven towns for
supply, weapons and gold. Their kind became known to the
world in the dark elven
campaign that led to the Third Sarvonian
War in which many of these battalions formed the
core of orcish armies
to keep their brothers in the rows.

RHOM-OC,
THE
The term
Rhom-Oc covers all orcish
tribes living in the vast Heath of Wilderon. Most of these
orcs live in small
family communities scattered over the plains and got known due to their close
relationship with wargs
with which they hunt the huge herds of reindeers that wander these harsh
regions. Usually the Rhom-Oc avoid direct contact with other races
except for occasional raids on villages and caravans for which they
are feared for and where they use the vastness of the Heaths
to escape from anyone who might pursue them.
