Orks

Orks inhabit desert regions, living in tents made from the hides of animals. They are a warring faction, always in search of the next great battle. They worship the Red Sun and believe that, depending on their kill count at death, they will ascend to the highest heavens, where they will fight great beasts for all eternity.

Dwarves

The Dwarves are humble miners who dwell in carved huts on the sides of the very mountains they mine. They collect jewels and precious metals, creating great weapons and jewelry from their finds. Dwarves love to celebrate after a hard day's work, hosting grand feasts as a large clan.

Beastfolk

Beastfolk have no land to call their own. Other factions view them as evil due to their appearance, forcing them to live as exiles, struggling to survive in a cruel and unforgiving world.
