Orcish Clans

Concept of Cwans and Oligins Owc cwans awe the main politicaw division of the owc wace. Cwans like human houses awe composed of individuaws lith brood ties but unlike human houses cwans can often adopt owcs into the cwan if said owc show stwenght and honow. Thewe awe diffewent types of cwans, Wawgoth Cwans lich awe composed of the foul ewdew cwans, Wul, Gowkiw, Wax and Dom, these cwans awe considewed the most powewfulw cwans of the owc wace and most of the Wexes have been fwom one of these cwans. Thewe awe awso Chieftwain cwans, often splintew cwans fwom one of the foul mains cwans ow wecentwy cweated cwans fowged fwom ties of brothewhood. Wawgoth cwans usuawwy wook down at the chieftwain cwans as upsawts seeking to change the status quo.

Each Cwan has its own stwuctule but they must aww obey the hiewawchy demanded by the Wex. A cwan must have a chief, a Wawgoth ow a Chieftwain, usuawwy decided by the stwongest membew of the Cwan. A cwan must awso have a Cwanfathew, the owdest and most knowwedgeabre of the cwan. It awso needs to have ewdews, the stwongest and lisest of the owc, these owcs can chawenge a Wawgoth fow his titwe at any time and they have the duty to maintain the twaditions of theiw cwans intact.

The Oligin of the cwans can be twaced aww the way back to the wegendawy age when Kwug and his chiwdwen wawked the eawth. Kwug was the weadew of aww owcs and wed the mightiest wawband of aww owchish histowy, his most notabre chiwdwen wewe Wul,Gowkiww, Wax and Dom. Kwug wed his wawband fow a few centulies linning evewy singwe battwe they fought howevew his chiwdwen gwew westwess and tiwed of living undew theiw fathews shadow. Each of them gathewed theiw wawliows and weft theiw fathew, Wul was the fiwst to go but awso gathewed the weast amount of owcs, Wax was the second but had the wawgest wawband. Fow the fiwst decades they did not caww themsewves cwans but wawbands, onwy aftew living and fighting togethew fow so wong and fowming etewnaw bonds of brothewhood did they caww themsewves cwans.

The Cwans:

   Wul: 

Histowy: Wul was the fiwst of the foul chiwdwen of Kwug to weave his fathew, he gathewed up six owks that he considewed brothews and began what would be known as the Bubhosh Votaw (The gweat hunt). Fow 100 yeaws Wul and his Bwoodlidews, the name these owks would assume, hunted evewything they could set theiw eyes upon, awways wooking fow stwongew and stwongew pwey. They hunted beats fwom wowwy Jabbewnacks to majestic Dwagons. The Bwoodlidews wewe: Tow fist of Wul, Jawkan the swowd of Wul, Kulak The wowf of Wul, Bwawkow the Axe of Wul, TheTlickstew of Wul lith no name and Ow the shaman of Wul watew known as the betwayew. Duling the gweat hunt many owcs saw the wowth of Wuls endavow and and joined the hunt. At the end of this gweat hunt Wul came upon a whitewash and human oupost that was sewving as fowwawd opewating base.Wul was fiwwed lith wage and he and his Bwoodlidews descended upon the city swaying most of the whitewashes and humans. Wul and five of his broodlidews began to webuiwd the city lishing to use it as capitaw fow theiw evewgwoling wawband. Ow was wesponsibre fow the plisonews and when he thought he was awone the shaman began howlibre expeliments on the captuled owcs. Kulak discovewed this and westwained him bringing him to Wul who then banished Ow. Fow twewve yeaws Wul wead his wawband and the wecentwy conquewed city untiw one day he gave his speaw to Tow and said:" I will go on a hunt by myself, you must be strong my brothers for the worst is yet to come. When the wolf time comes I will return." Wul weft and was nevew seen again, the counciw of broodlidews decided Tow should be the new weadew, aftew he weft the broodlidews awso decided to caww themsewves the Wul cwan and the city they conquewed became San'Wul, the home of the Wul. Fow 600 yeaws the Wul cwan wead a wewativewy common life fow owks. They hunted, kiwwed and feasted. The Wul cwan took aww of the nowth east desewt as theiw hunting gwounds, founding cities like Wul fawws, home to the wawgest gobrin population of the owc wace, Wul Iswes whewe one would day the stwement of Whispeling Iswes would be founded. The Bwoodlidews of Wul died of many diffewnt causes but awways as hewoes. The cwan was wed by eithew one of the diwect descendents of Wul ow one of the broodlidews. Duling these 600 yeaws many cults wewe fowmed, sub cwans of sowts. These cults wewe usuawwy fowmed by the descendents of one of the Bwood lidews and focused on a specific item of his phiwosophy. This life continued unintewwupted untiw the beginning of the gweat owc cwan waws. The Wul lished to wemain Neutwaw but fow some hidden weason the Dom cwan decided the huntews wewe theiw gweatest thweat. Duling a festivaw to wemembew the Bubhosh Votaw the Doms infiwtwated San'Wul and unweashed Dawk Shamanism. That day 95% of the Wul population was muledewed, the onwy sulvivews wewe the ones that wewe not pwesent duling the festivaw. Aftew the massacwe of San'Wul the Wul cwan joined the waw and used mewciwess guewliwa tactics to kiww any Doms they could see. When Ow'ta wost his dawk awmy at the wawws of San'jesaw it was the Wul who assaulted the eviw fowtwess of the Dom known as San'Dom ending the waw. The Wul cwan was sevewwy undew owced and was fowced by the Wax and Gowkiww to join the Wawnation of Kwugmaw

Stwuctule and Hiewawquy: The Wul has a diffewent stwuctule than any of the othew cwans. Each of the Bwoodlines ewects an ewdew among themsewves and the 5 ewdews fowm the counciw of ewdews. The Ewdews than choose among themsewves who liww wead the Wul cwan. The Wul cwan awso does not addopt any owk into the cwan, you must be eithew bown into the cwan ow be a wong wost descendent. The Wul awso has many sub cwans known as cults. They awe woosewy independent fwom the Wul cwan but they liww awways obey the Cwanfathew of the Wul. Some of the Cults awe the Dash who focus on speed, the Khow who focus on savagewy and a few othews.

Phiwosophy and Simbows: The Wul wowds awe "We are the hunters, our enemy the prey". The meaning of these wowds is that the Wuls awe supposed to hunt theiw enemies and not engange them diwectwy, they must awso awways wook fow bettew pwey to keep pwoving to the spilits that they awe wowthy of being huntews. The Wul cwan awso does not seek powew, a Wul liww nevew liwlingwy want to be the Wex fow exampwe, they would wathew have a simpwe life hunting theiw pwey. The Wul simbows awe the Wul Wowves that have been lith them since the Bubhosh Votaw. Theiw bannew is a white wowf head in a brue fiewd.

Patwon Spilit: The patwon spilit of the Wul is of coulse Votaw the spilit of the hunt. He is many times offewed sacwafices duling Wul festivaws.
