Orks (Race)

Orks are like an infestation that have slowly infected every part of Nyx. Their origins are said to be from The Magisphere where once a group of a thousand colonists were trapped there for far too long in a *crippled ship. Their bodies and minds twisted and warped into hideous creations by the powerful magic that exists there. Each Ork appearance can be very different indeed, but they share many characteristics the same. In appearance their bodies are always deformed into a hunchback type appearance, with white soulless eyes that are totally devoid of colour and always their skin is a pale ash grey.

Their mindset is always simple and that is their complete and utter hatred of all life, despising existence so much that they crave their own death sooner rather than later and constantly crave what they see as the sweet and brutal caress of battle. They are cruel, sadistic and mischievous, and their swords are every night smeared in their own blood in a ritual called ‘Ferhard’. If you survive an encounter with one of them and few do, and you are cut with one of their blades, within one sunset you will become one of them, lost forever with no known cure. Thus like a plague, they continues to spread across Nyx.
