The Uruks are the most common and dominant sub-race of the Orcs, being the most present of all the orcs, generally the Wargoths and Rexes, with the exception of a few clans. Uruks are the race from which Ologs and Goblins branch from, being relatively smart and strong respectively. Unlike the goblins with their masterful skill with machinery or the Ologs with their primal instinct of survival and abnormal strength, Uruks are gifted with both intelligence and strength, being able to delve in the path of the shaman or the warrior. As a result, Uruks, like humans, are prone to a great deal of variability between the population, with many Uruks leaning towards an intellectual, purely combative, or pious lifestyles.
Contents
Physical Attributes
Skin Coloration
The Uruks are not identifiable by a single broad coloration, but rather by a wide range of many relatively “unnatural” skin colors relative to the other races. Typically Uruks come in shades of green, brown and red, with other colors such as blue, black and even purple being much more rare or typically indicative of a special lineage.
Hair Coloration
Unlike their skin, the coloration of Uruks hair is almost always black or brown. Some Uruks have even been seen with more reddish or other ‘natural’ hair colors. It is not uncommon for Uruks to dye their hair a wide range of colors, however this is more about personal aesthetic than it is genetics.
Eye Coloration
Uruks do not have any special range of eye coloration and follow all natural eye colors. That is not to say however that an Uruk will not have red or bloodshot eyes should they participate in too much of a certain extracurricular activity.
Height
The Uruk height range is from 6’0” - 8’0” ft. Both ends of this cap are rather hard, typically requiring some sort of mixed blood to vary much in either direction. This range encompasses all full-blooded Uruks, with virtually no exceptions.
Weight
Uruks vary in weight, much like with anyone else. However, given that they have much denser muscles than the other races they tend to be considerably heavier for their height. While a human may be about 6 foot and 250 or so pounds, an orc of the same height might find themselves closer to 350lbs or even 400lbs. Orcs closer to the 8 foot height cap may find themselves to be upwards of 600-650, if not slightly heavier should they be overweight. On average orcs do tend to have a high fat percentage, and do not walk around as massive towers of pure muscle.
Culture
The Uruks, in fellowship with their Orcish brethren are led by their Rex, an Orc (often which is an Uruk) whom acts as a ruling warlord to the Orcish people, leading them in their wars and guiding them through times of peace. Most Uruks also belong to an Orcish clan, though many remain clanless.
Art
Uruks art is quite different from other races. Though rarely drawing portraits of themselves, orcish artwork is made to honor noteworthy figures in history, or the cities and capitals constructed during their time periods. Often, Orcish artwork captures an era rather than an emotion.
Literature
Uruks often tell their stories verbally, however great tales and legends are often recorded in books. Most Uruk stories and literature often teach morals or guides, focused on lessons. Shamans are often the book-keepers if such pieces of literature exist.
Music
Uruks play the drums often during war, though outside they play a variety of flutes and an instrument known as the Dulum, a three-stringed instrument that is made from a tortoise shell. Some Orcs sing, though only in jest.
Religion
Uruks, alongside their brethren worship the Spirits. Their practice of Shamanism can often become quite involved, leading them to becoming trained Shamans with aid from their natural intelligence. However, that is not to say all Uruks are so devote, as some reject the worship of such structures.
Cities
All Capital cities are constructed and planned primarily by Goblins, then constructed by Ologs as their size and strength allow them to work tirelessly on the large sandstone structures and homes while the Orcs manage the lumbering, hungry collosi as a sort of overseer. Often, orcish cities will have an exterior welcome to all outsiders, known as a Trog, in which those who wish to learn about orcish culture and trade are welcome to do so, though to explore more often requires tribute.
