Orcs have no major cities, only tribes that are scattered among the plains and through out the mountains. Orcs have no Magical abilities, but have Shamans which act as spiritual guides for the Clan or Tribe. Orcs are proud of what they are, if they are a smith, they will take such pride that they devote their life almost entirely to it. The only thing that makes an Orc more proud than winning a battle, is raising a family. Orcs put great amounts of work into having a strong family, it is the only distraction that they will allow, but is often what fuels their actions. Orcs do not marry as other races do, one must win the right to marry by completing the challenges of the betrothed's father and mother. However, Orcs are very much about "fair play" and will never place another Orc in a situation that they cannot succeed in. Ritual combat is common among Orcs when there is a disagreement among two Orcs, it is also common for a male Orc to have to fight his bride if he is to take her hand in Marriage.
