Main article:A subset of orcs belonging to a state first formed a century ago by the legendary Obould Many-Arrows differed from the majority of their kin in cultural attitudes. While most orcs were warlike and savage, the orcs of Many-Arrows, ruled over by King, were remarkably civilized, to a point that has made their neighbors curious. These orcs maintained a tenuous peace with the of and the other races in, though many suspected war could break out at any moment should the delicate balance between the races be upset. It is from this region that the most unusual kind of orc would sometimes emerge - heroes. HistoryThe origin of the orcs was unknown, though they appeared to be non-native to either. The first legends of orcs told of the wars between their primary god and, the creator of the.
The latter two races told of how Corellon defeated Gruumsh and took his eye; though many orcs denied this charge, they acknowledged Gruumsh as the one-eyed god. However, in spite of this early conflict, orcs did not appear en masse until long after this.
