Orcs: These sturdy folk are the engineers and inventors of Kered, especially in the West. Their famous inventions include the steam engine, the railroad, the telegraph, the truss bridge, socks, and the dirigible. Orcs are cheerful, rough-and-ready people who care little about physical injury as long as it doesn't foul up their project timetables. Appearance doesn't much matter in orcish relations, perhaps because so many are scarred and battered in the line of duty, as it were. Showing off scars and trading stories about how they got them is orcish engineers' version of LinkedIn. They love an elegant workaround, a well-made machine, and a well-earned gallon of beer after a hard day's work.
