Archlord: Orcs @ IGN

The second part of IGN's Archlord Races feature is online. The first part of this series can be found here.

The Orcs

The Orcs have occupied the land of Chantra for a 1000 years longer than the Humans. For this reason, the Orcs held themselves in higher regard than their Human counterparts and enslaved them for 500 years.

Over time the Humans rebelled against their Orc masters and eventually won their freedom. 500 years later the continent was struck by a huge earthquake, which caused much of the continent to sink into the ocean. Humans and Orcs were forced to flee the western continent of Chantra and under the leadership of Ugdrasil, the Orcs colonized a small part of the continent where they began the re-building process.
