Urks

Urks, often referred to as one of the Wild Races along with Trolls and Vargrs, are one of six sentient races in Paledia. Others include humans, elves and dwarves. Urks tend to be taller than the nearly all elves and humans, with the average height being just below 8ft tall. Urks are extremely durable creatures with an extreme threshold for pain, making them perfect for intense labour and war. They are considered to be the most intelligent of the Wild Races.
==Biology==
Urks, unlike the other 5 races of Paledia, do not appear to have any females within the race, or if they do they don't seem to differ from the males in anyway that has been discovered. In fact how they reproduce isn't common knowledge to the majority of Paledia.
Urks literally seem to grow from the mud where fellow Urk blood has been spilt. Or so it would seem, truthfully only really the Urks know. The rate in which Urks reach adulthood is remarkable quick in comparison to the other races. A new born Urk is war ready or work ready in a matter of weeks. Hence why they have been worked so hard in some of the harshest work environments since their enslavement.
==History==
Throughout their history, the Urks have always been warriors, never stopping for peace. In fact their enslavement has probably been the longest peace the Urk race has ever known. If they weren't raiding any of the other races they were fighting among one another.
Much like the Vargrs and the Trolls, the Urks are a tribal society. Grouping together in small war bands.
==Culture & Beliefs==
Urk culture is simple and revolves completely around war. Everything from which tribe has the most respect, to who leads the war bands is all determined by violence and fighting. Even one defeat ruins an Urks standing among other Urks. They value only strength.
===Beliefs===
Oddly enough the Urks do have a belief system. They have no priests or practises but every Urk believes it. A prophesy passed down by Urk kind for many moons that one day an Urk god would be born and unite the clans and set the whole region a lit in war.
