Editing What Thunder Brings (section)

===A Brief History===
Many centuries ago, the orcish people were divided into many nomadic tribes. One such tribe would come to be known as the Ura’Gar, roughly translating to “Ancestor’s Chosen” in Common, though it was originally nameless as all orcish clans were. Though there are no written records of this time, Ura’Gar tales claim that the clan was founded by a wise shaman that had been instructed by spirits to gather the five most honourable warriors in the land and bring them together under one banner, and to then go out into the world and show their might so that all may see the benefits of honour. The shaman and the five warriors did just that, and soon the number’s of their clan began to rapidly swell as more and more orcs joined them after witnessing their many legendary feats of strength and cunning. Eventually, however, the founders of the clan died, leaving the clan without their original inspirations. Most of the clan fell deeper and deeper into despair as each of the founders passed away, but five clansmen held out hope that their efforts were not in vain and continued to apply the founder’s lessons of honour and strength to everything they did. In time, they soon found that they had gained the ability to call upon the spirits of their ancestors to aid them, as the founders once had, and these five were elected as the new leaders of the tribe. It was on that day that the clan took a name – the Ura’Gar.

Though the Ura’Gar has not maintained the massive numbers of clansmen it supposedly once had, as large chunks splintered off into their own clans over time due to various differences and disagreements, they have still maintained a sizable population, large enough to be one of the only orc tribes to maintain their independence in the wake of the formation of the Orcish Union (though not large enough to successfully resist the Union pushing them right to the border). The Ura’Gar proudly held onto their traditions as the rest of the Union began to modernise, as they believed that that was the path their ancestors set out for them. Just two decades ago, however, the ancestors fell silent and all attempts to contact them failed. The tribe fell into disarray, and many began to point fingers in a desperate attempt to find the cause of the issue – be it the Orcish Union, allowing non-orcs into the tribe, or the shamans themselves. One voice eventually managed to rise above the others and unify almost the entire clan against the supposedly true cause – Olok the One-Eyed, one of the Ura’Gar’s most revered warriors. 

Olok accused the Marak’Torl – the Founder’s Five – of leading the clan astray by promoting cooperation with the other remaining clans and disallowing raids in all but the most dire of circumstances, claiming that the Ura’Gar thrived by taking what they wanted when they wanted it and that the ancestors had become disgusted by the weakness of the clan’s current leaders. He led a bloody coup against the Marak’Torl and took the position of leadership for himself (and only himself), proclaiming himself Rezkar – Saviour – of the Ura’Gar and stating that the only way they could speak to ancestors once again would be by spending the next few decades reasserting their dominance through any means necessary, just as it took many decades for the ancestors to fall silent. Only time will tell if Rezkar Olok’s decrees are true, or if they are simply the ravings of a cruel despot…
