Orcs
The gigantic breed of the brute folk: the army that conquered Meliora in another history, and was smuggled into it once more.
- Before the Invasion
- The Goblin Invasion
Description
Orcs are the gigantic breed of the brute folk, the largest of its three most numerous kinds. Some grow bigger than even Aurelius thought possible, and they can withstand a tremendous beating.
"This orc can sure take a beating." — Aurelius
Historical context
In the history Aurelius came from, orcs conquered Meliora, and it was that conquest he travelled back in time to stop. In the goblin invasion an army of orcs was smuggled into the realm once more, pouring out of the drill-holes of goblin airships and up from the catacombs beneath the Pinewood ruins.
