Ashlung Orcs Faction

Faction Info
According to the extremely limited scraps of information and oral traditional that tell the history of Esor before the Dragon Razuth appeared, the Orcs once lived among the other goblinoids races in the Rolling Hills and consisted of warring tribes and shamanistic cults. Although through terrible circumstances, the race has evolved greatly in that time and now consists of battle hardened warriors and prideful scholars. Although generally imperialistic in nature, the Ashlungs haven't expanded their main territory outside of the Ashlands due to their physical dependence on the ash that comes from there. This lack of expansion and hostile environment has kept the population low but that kill or be killed environment has insured that only the strongest or wisest prevailed, leading to one of the strongest military forces on Esor, despite their small numbers. Although not closed to trade, the Ashlands provide little that is of interest to other factions which is just another thing that leads to the isolationist mindset held by the majority of Orcs. This attitude has led to an indifference between the Orcs and most of the other factions of Esor with the exception of one, Razuth's Children. The Ashlung Orcs despise the faction of Dwarves after seeing their retreat into the mountains after the defeat of Razuth and refusal of recognition for the Orcs who aided in the beast's defeat as cowardly and treacherous and have been antagonistic towards them ever since, demanding reprimands and recognition.
