Lak Clan
The Lak Clan
The great Lak Clan, famous for their devotion to the Spirit of the Swamp Laklul. These large lumbering orks have a hide unlike those of their orkish counterparts, their hide has a dark blue hue which is a distinguishing feature for these brutish swamp dwellers. Despite being a fairly new clan among the others, the Laks have gained respect among many clans and proven their worth to Krugmar.
History
The well respected Ork and Clan Legend, Shreck’Lak, was the founder of the clan back in the realm of Athera. Lak was formed after clan Dom saw a mass of emigration due to the dishonorable actions of Rusk'Dom the Liberator. Shreck was a great servant to Laklul and so the name Lak was forged from the Spirit of the Swamp Laklul.
Upon arriving in Vailor the Laks constructed their fort Duloc in Shreck’s swamp south of the Capital. It was a massive plateau fortified with a palisade poking out on its right flank. It would take a long, treacherous walk and thus was connected to the capital via Luntlak the toalak who transported strangers to and fro from his resting place along the road feeding into San'Thraka.
After Vailor had fell into ruins following the plague, the Laks with their Orkish brethren migrated in search of new lands to call home. Arriving in Axios, the Laks dwindled in their numbers, Shreck and Gnarl the only two to be around for that time. As time passed, the clan seemed to weaken further, members were rarely seen around the Orkish lands.
Gnarl’Lak returned to the Orkish capital after a long venture to learn more about the art of shamanism. He returned and assumed the position of Swampgoth with hopes to build the clan back to its former glory.
