Ka-esh

Ka-esh is the orc clan named for and descended from the fourth son of Edom and Akva. They are considered to be the most worldly and learned among the orcs.
=== Traits ===
Physically, the Ka-esh differ greatly from other orcs. They're often described as having leaner figures with more human facial features. They dwell in the darkest parts of orc mountain where they might tinker in peace. 
The Ka-esh value knowledge of all things, including engineering, history, language, politics, metallurgy, medicine, and mining. Many Ka-esh conversations revolve around bettering oneself or the world at large.
Ka-esh tend toward entitlement, thinking their knowledge elevates them over their kin. They also have a bend toward exhibitionism and staking one's claim on a mate (a common mating gift is a kraga, a metal choker that is meant to stay on for life). The Ka-esh are also known to be compassionate, protective, and wise once you get past their walls.
