The Clans of Orginaar

An outsider faction on Draivros.

Demiorc Pre-Draivros History
Several centuries before the Curse of the Beacon torn apart Draivros, a new sub-species of Orcs had arisen on Dro'Tag. This new sub-species, having sacrificed the strength of the orcish cousins in order to become more intelligent, were mainly used as slaves by their much stronger cousins, and given a name, translated by Draivrosian scholars to mean, Demiorc.

A Failed Revolution
During the events of the First Demon Invasion, the Divines, or Ki as they are known in the orcish language, conscripted countless Orcs into their armies, blessing many of these Orcs into becoming a stronger sub-species known as Orki. This vast conscription of Orcs left Dro'tag Demiorcs unmanaged over time as more and more Orcs were sent to Draivros to subdue the Royallian Kingdoms.

A massive Demiorc revolt would break out during the First Demon Invasion, throwing all of Dro'tag into chaos as the Demiorcs set upon their Orc cousins, using traps and ambushing their former masters in an effort to declare themselves the free orcs. This revolt was soon crushed throughout most of Dro'tag by the Divines and their Orki armies once they had taken notice, but the Demiorc revolutionaries had managed to claim the ancient gate located on Dro'tag that had been used for the Invasion of Draivros. Activating this gate, a mass exodus of the defeated Demiorcs would ensure. Within days, the attention of the Divines and their Orki armies would focus on the ancient gate, and the Demiorc defenders were forced to fight in an effort to see as many of their people flee as possible.

At the last possible moment before the Demiorc defenders were crushed, the ancient gate was shut off as the last of the free Demiorc population made it out, barring those who had stayed behind to die for their people.

Exodus
The Demiorc refugees who fled through the ancient gate would find themselves in the northern part of Draivros, in a land unclaimed by the Royallian Kingdoms due to being both in the cold snow and hot desert. Never the less, this region was well-suited to the Demiorcs, who had lived in the harsh enviroment of Dro'tag and thrived under Orcish rule, and thus in this new land, which the Demiorcs named as Neftope, they prospered. A capital settlement would eventually be established within the Northern part of the Apex mountains, named Orginaar, while the Demiorcs settled themselves into several small clans located around Orginaar. Leaders The leader of the Clans of Orginaar is known as the Chieftain of the Clans, whom are elected by the clan Chiefs to hold power and authority over all the Clans. However, many of these Chieftains whom were elected were already clan Chiefs themselves, with the position often being fought over by rival Clans. To differentiate them from the regular clan Chiefs, the Chieftain of the Clans are unofficially referred to as the Warchief.

Though many have led the clans as Warchief, none is as famous as Crockta, first Chieftain of the Clans. The first in the line of Warchiefs, Crockta was among the first Demiorc to revolt against his Orcish masters, leading his race to conquer and hold an ancient gate so they could escape to Draivros. He was also one of the last defenders at the battle between the demiorcs and their divine foes at the site of the ancient gate, closing the gate after the last group had passed through.

Once thought to have merely been a mythological warrior of great renown that represented the fighting spirit of the Demiorcs, Crockta resurfaced in 68 BCE as the newly elected Warchief and has lead his people to greatness since than.

Government
The structure of government within the Clans of Orginaar are structured around a hierarchy. The lower clan members, named Qofek, obey the word of the higher clan members, named Ummek. The Ummek themselves obey the word of their clan Chief. Though oftentimes the clan Chief are considered the top authority figures in Demiorc society, due to all of them being a member of the Orginaar Council where they meet to discuss, it's not rare to see a higher figure of authority known as the Chieftan of the Clans, or Warchief, who is often elected by the clan Chiefs to lead all Demiorcs.

Military
Most demiorcs are stronger than the average Draivrosian human, allowing the demiorc clans to easily raise a defensive force against any foes who dares to invade their lands. This also means that many demiorcs can easily find work as a soldier within any of the three other factions of Draivros, and many of these demiorcs bring their skills back to Orginaar, ensuring a small, but versatile force exists for the Clans of Orginaar. Important Settlements


 * Orginaar - The primary location of the Clans, Orginaar is a massive mountain citadel. It is divided into Upper and Lower Orginaar, but when combined the size rivals Versatios.
 * Orniga - An outside post, Orniga is set in the mountains south of Orginaar. Set to aid in watching the gates and provide a place to move if Orginaar is ever attacked, it is slowly growing in size.

Geography
The region which the Demiorcs and the Apex mountains reside in is blanketed by desert and tundra, with fertile land only being found near the Apex Mountain in regions where water flows out. Though the demiorcs typically use lumber in their architecture, most of the lumber used among the Clans of Orginaar comes from temporary lumber camps established in the Dark Forest during the spring-summer, while the rest is imported from the Dominion of Storia.
