Sacred:The Wilderness of Sand

The Wilderness of Sand

The Orcs, who once populated the entire plain of Ancaria, are pushed back towards the east and the south. While in the east, Orcs are either enslaved or killed by the Dark Elves, the Orc bands in the south who were rescued by royal troops have carried on a harsh nomadic existence in the barren southern desert. This life has made the Orcs tougher and more resistant than they were before. A warrior culture has developed among their tribes and the survival of the strongest has become their guiding principle. Whilst in the intervening period, courtly customs have become established among the aristocratic families of the Kingdom, the Orcs have quickly conquered the wilderness and have begun to make weapons and armor in the blacksmiths' shops of their villages and settlements. In the centuries that follow, the south is continuously plagued by the pillaging Orcs, whose power is a magnet for other ambitious creatures, such as Ogres, Goblins and Trolls, who willingly join their ranks.
