Iron Orc - AllisonNil/Elder-Kings-2-Wiki GitHub Wiki
"Iron Orcs are the remnants of the pre-Ra'Gada Orcish populations that used to be found all over Hammerfell. They are exceptional blacksmiths and tame the fierce welwas to serve as beasts of burden and war.
The trauma of the Ra'Gada invasions shapes their culture and worship to this day, the “Iron” in their name referring to the stone gods they defiled to get metallic weapons. They had to renounce their previously peaceful lifestyle and commit sacrilege to survive the Yokudan onslaught."
