Orc

The Orcs, once a prominent force on Celdon, were wiped out in the Grand Crusade in 379FZ, a Human-led campaign against their people. The Orcs had long harrassed Human travellers in the region, and with a history of rapid expansionism, despite displays of good will by their neighbours, they were considered a threat against the many Human nations and city-states of the continent.

Once it was discovered that many Orc tribes were worshipping Rovagug, it wasn't long before The Holy Empire of the Dawn seized the opportunity to remove this pest once and for all, with the backing of their Goddess. A large coalition was formed, and the Orcs wiped out.

Despite sitting on one of the wealthiest regions in the world - the Valtarok Mountains, now occupied by the Half Orcs - the lack of fertile land and access to the sea meant that the Orcs lived in relative poverty, surviving largely off raids and banditry of the surrounding regions. Ultimately it was this that led to their eventual defeat - a lack of surplus and self-sustainability.

In the aftermath of the Battle of Amrok Point, parties were sent to scour the mountains for any Orcs that had fled, and those that were found were slaughtered without remorse. They were treated like a plague that had to be eliminated entirely, for the infection to surely be removed.
