This is the lore so far, it will worked on once the developers finish the lore so we know what we have to work with.
---What is Adevoria---
Adevoria is an alliance between multiple Trepheon orcish tribes, lead by a council of the tribe chieftains and respected elders, who are lead by a High Shaman and High Chieftain. Adevoria is mostly nomadic residing in the different areas the different tribes live in. The goal of Adevoria is to preserve orcish culture, fight against human oppression and discrimination against orcs, worship their spirit gods, and bring the tribes back to their former glory.
---Tribes of Adevoria---
(Please note factions are only to get you into the tribe that fits your character the best for example if you want to be more hostile and aggressive join Blood Tribe if you want to be more civilized join the Eastern Tribe.)
Desert Tribe: The tribe that the High Shaman comes from. The Desert Tribe is a powerful tribe that resides in the Canyon and surrounding desert. The Desert Tribe is know to be more passive then other orcs being cautious about leaping into combat and not wanting to cause trouble in towns, however they have no quarrel about fighting. The Desert Tribe has skilled smiths that use the canyon mine's ores to make strong weapons, tools, and armor for Adevoria. The Desert Tribe is one of the more religious tribes, as they are happy to teach orcish culture and share their faith with others. The Desert Tribe is one of the more easy going tribes as they are know to be much less serious at times then other tribes.
Forest Tribe: Residing in the forest south of the desert, the Forest Tribe is renown for their skilled hunters, trackers, and martial ability. Many of them training for days to hone their skill. The Forest Tribe prefers to stay in the forest and are much more resentful towards mankind, their hatred for them rivaling even the Blood Tribe, however they posses more self-control. The Forest Tribe is the most spiritual tribe, even more than the Desert Tribe, they are very serious about their beliefs and are very protective over sacred grounds.
Mountain Tribe: A tribe know for their height and strength. The Mountain Tribe is even more reclusive then the Forest Tribe and are small in numbers, they live quietly in the mountains. The Mountain Tribe also have more armor than the other tribes, as some of them posses a makeshift type of plate armor from scavenged metals. The Mountain Tribe is one of the more nomadic tribes and are know to be the only tribe with a true friendship with the Blood Tribe. It is said they are the reason Blood Tribe joined Adevoria, and the are know to keep a watchful eye on Blood Tribe to make sure they stay out of trouble. The Mountain Tribe are surprisingly some of the more levelheaded orcs, and are know for being some of the most intelligent, which is ironic due to them being the only ones the Blood Tribe truly trust.
Eastern Tribe: Located near the Eastern Castletown, the Eastern Tribe lives in the East countryside and around the volcano temple which they have gained a good wealth from the treasures they found lying there, they are much more involved in human society and are the most wealthy and civilized orc tribe. They are know to be the most willing to try to solve things peacefully and their love of the arts. They are often looked down upon by the other tribes for these reasons especially the Blood Tribe who has a rivalry with them, however the Eastern Tribe are a valuable ally their wealth and influence has helped the tribe on multiple occasions. The Eastern Tribe are the most well-spoken orcs and are skilled historians. However the Eastern can and will stand their own in a fight and have been know to do so rather well.
Northern Tribe: Living in the harsh northern wastelands the Northern Tribe is home to some of the most hardened orcs, capable of surviving almost anything nature throws at them. The Northern Tribe survives off a combination of bravery, wits, and a bit of magic. Northern Orcs are know for their talented Mancers, who due to their deadly hometurf consider the risks of becoming a mancer are much less concerning to them. The Northern Tribe have a strict hierarchy and are extremely harsh and to the point, this is a necessity for surviving in their environment. This makes the Northern Tribes obsessive about order and following the rules which is know to get them into trouble with Blood Tribe.
Blood Tribe: An aggressive nomadic tribe, the Blood Tribe is know for their power, rage, and lack of mercy. The Blood Tribe survives by raiding and stealing. They have little patience with humans and would happily burn all the Castletowns to the ground if they had the power. They are also know to be talented at taming beasts to use for mounts or war-beasts. They are know to hate magic and at one time executed mancers. Blood Tribe is considered the lose cannon of the tribes and are held by the Adevoria pact which has stopped a lot of their abuse of mancers and full out attacks on the kingdoms however if not for the Mountain Tribe they would be a lot more difficult. The Blood Tribe is also know to wear war masks and warpaint to make themselves more frightening. Their one large weakness is their lack of intelligence, being some of the more dimwitted orcs.
