Orc Wars Backstory and Factions
Roughly thirty years ago the Continent was a much different place. Belegar was a thriving and ever expanding kingdom, Hithdor was a strong and confident republic, and there was relative peace throughout the land. However, the dominance and will of man brought the resent and scorn of other so-called "lesser races." Deep in the jungles of Fuintar, in the Mountains of Lug'Lum, the Hills of Lutia, and all across the land the Orcs, Goblins, and Trolls of the land grew wrathful from being driven from that lands. The embers of rage burned until a Shaman arose to fan them into a full fire. In the Summer of 3947 in the Era of Men the collective hordes of the Orcs began to raze the kingdoms of man.
This surprise onslaught caught the powerful governments of Hithdor and Belegar off guard and it took almost a year for the the two armies to drive the initial invaders back. Now, there is a relative lull in the war. The orcs are preparing something, movements of troops have shown that much. Now the armies of Hithdor and Belegar have met up and seek to make a push in to Green-skin controlled territory and determine what exactly this shaman has in his plans.

Re: Orc Wars Backstory and Factions
The Forces of Mankind
Belegar
Belegar is a powerful Kingdom that dominates the Southern half of the Continent at this time period. Ruled by King Leechian the Kingdom of Belegar has seen its borders expand rapidly for the past decade. The army of Belegar is famed for its skirmish techniques. Quick warriors and deadly archers serve as a powerful vanguard to the central figure of the Belegarian military; the Paladins. The Paladins are a force of holy knights, a moral soldier who fights for good, and a powerful element to the expanding Empire.
NPCs We Need from the Belegar Faction:
let me know if you are interested in these, I will erase them as we fill the spot
Belegarian Camp Merchant/Trader
Belegarian Scout
A few people to play Paladins
Belegarian ambassador to Hithdor
Style Guide:
If you are planning to fight for Belegar you might want to keep the idea of the classical D&D ranger and paladin in mind. Belegarian fashion is in a warmer climate than that of other lands such as Hithdor, so it lends itself to flowing fabrics and brighter colours.
Hithdor
Hithdor has been experiencing a time of prosperity. Recently they have helped free Duindor from the abusive rule of the Wilhelm Royal Family and have ushered in a more kind rule, a rule that helps further the Hithdorian interests in the region. Hithdor's Senate now looks at the threat of the Orcs to its souther border and has decided that she must act on it.
NPCs we need for the Hithdorian faction:
let me know if you are interested in these, I will erase them as we fill the spot
Hithdorian camp merchant/trader
Hithdorian scout
High ranking and ambitious Hithdorian officer
Style Guide:
Hithdorian fashion lends itself well to the colder climate. Cool blues, greys, blacks, and whites dominate the clothing of this region. Military men in Hithdor wear a stripe across their tunics to show their rank. For Hithdor, think the classical D&D Knight and Fighter.
Orcs, Goblins, and Trolls
Long driven from their lands, enslaved by the pink-skinned invaders, hunted like beasts, the various "lesser" species of the Continent have had enough. Under the glorious leadership of their Grand Shaman, the green, grey, red, and whatever other color skinned have come together in the name of freedom and revenge! This is their chance to drive the soft pink fleshed human from the Continent and to usher in a new era of Orcish dominance.
Style Guide:
The Orc Faction is as varied as can be. Creatures from all over the Continent have come together to fight and this shows in the various clothing (and lack thereof.) For this faction you want to think the generic LotR and D&D orcs and goblins. However there is a lot of room for creativity here!
Orc NPC spots are all filled up (for now)
However, for you Orc inclined start thinking what kind of culture you want to belong to. The Orcish Alliance is a fragile thing right now...where you cast your lot will matter!

Re: Orc Wars Backstory and Factions
Not sure about an NPC, but I'd probably be interested in fighting for Hithdor, since I'm lazy and I have the basically appropriate colored garb.

Re: Orc Wars Backstory and Factions
Can I be Elden Yin?
He's an Elden of Coreisos Minor.
I played him before. He can be your Ambassador, or whatever you'd like him to be, but he's a monk,up to your story. Or I could just be wondering about.

I like it! I will totally write you down as the Ambassador-Monk from Hithdor to Belegar.
