Greetings!
Yes, in my Thandor world, I have an Orc Kingdom that has grown in prominence and influence. The Orc Kingdom has embraced several disciplines such as working with elemental creatures, Chaos Sorcery, and also technology. The vast majority of Orcs in the world are typically organized into tribes, and tend towards being barbaric, savage, and more or less primitive. Thandor is a very large world, after all. Orcs, as a race, share many common attributes and characteristics. However, the Orcs have developed different cultures. Thus, one particular Orc culture has managed to become a Kingdom-level society, with a more sophisticated government system and urbanized customs than a more primitive barbarian tribe. These elements have combined into promoting a greater degree of strength, technology, advanced sorcery, resource management, economy, and government. From this multi-faceted achievement, the Orc Kingdom has embraced a kind of brutal and mystical industrial revolution.
The Orc Kingdom has developed various kinds of factories which assist in mass-producing weapons, armour, tools, equipment, and different secondary parts and items of technology. The great sorcerous industrial revolution however, is not without problems and dangers. Environmental pollution and hazards present a distinct challenge. Industrial accidents, from factory explosions, elemental factory rebellions, to mining explosions and fires are common. Outbreaks of poisonous, noxious gasses and dangerous clouds occur frequently. Exposure to Chaotic Sorcery, and terrifying Elemental Technology has also caused enormous conditions of mental retardation, psychological disorders and full-blown insanity amongst the Orc population. These social consequences are a by-product of the new industrial foundation. In addition, the incidence and occurrence of Chaos Mutations are considerably more prevalent, and are seen both in the birth of offspring, as well as the development of Chaos Mutations gradually over time, or in many cases, almost spontaneously.
The Orc Kingdom has thus embraced harnessing new creatures and monsters, new kinds of vehicles, mass-produced armour and weapons, a variety of war machines, and various aspects of a more advanced, industrialized society.
Semper Fidelis,
SHARK
