Orc

Orcs
Including Darkskins, Val'shikori, and the Jhang'ri Dynasty: Orcs in Ouranos all dwell from Val’shikori, the city of the enlightened, a place of knowledge, understanding, and learning. The orcs have long-since unlocked the secrets to advanced tech, using Dryft as an energy source for guns, flying ships, magic, and their massive floating city.

Their leader, the Minister, serves as a royal figurehead to his advisors the Delegated, and leaves most actual ruling to them. The majority of Orcs take up the I’kitai, or the Way of Sense; focusing on resolving matters through the medium that is most effective. Their people think of the blade only as tool to end suffering, and only use it when necessary; same with magic, which flows through their blood thickly.

The society of the orcs see the women as the warriors, the men as the scholars, though either can switch as they please. Men usually stay behind as their wives go to battle. As such men live to be hundreds of years, while the women only live half as long, and that's if they survive multiple conflicts.

Many orcs of recent years have chosen to not partake in their people’s ancient traditions, instead choosing pirating, and criminal activity. Another profession of their people would be the mining of Dryft, found in the treacherous waters of the Belt of Clouds, these people The Trawlers, are very well-compensated for their dangerous task.

NOTE: Orcs are basically wizard samurai ninja monk gunslingers that live inside of a massive feudal japan similar city.
