Oruk

The Oruk are militaristic, fierce warriors of the Desert of Dunes. In near constant conflict, posturing and war with the Lamis, the Oruk have a strong martial tradition and a respect for honour and valour. They are highly industrious and ordered, and take pride in their nature. It is said that none can wage war as fine as the Oruk military, and their cities stand united in a council, lead by a nominal Potentate. The Oruk are close friends with humanity, seen as a third cousin to the young race, though they maintain a friendly rivalry with both the dwarves and the elves. The Oruk are some of the finest craftsmen in the known world, second only to dwarves.
