Orcs
The first two races to be born of the Great Beings were the elves and the dwarves. In the early days of the world there existed a subrace of elf known as the H’uer’uk. Unlike other members of their race, these elves predominantly lived in the mountainous terrain to the north of Adonnance. As well, they were a hardy and rugged people, with an unearthly feral beauty. As the Dwarven kingdom of Fergedor rose to power and expanded its territory, the two cultures came into regular contact. Eventually arguments over boundaries and resources led to conflict. A war between the H’uer’uk and the Fergedans broke out, and lasted for generations. It was the first Great War between races.

Both sides had fierce warriors, and many battles were fought. The earliest texts on the Dwarven arts of war were written. In those days magic was raw, and the vast potentials and consequences were long from discovered.
