Orkuun
The Orkuun are a species that has been at the centre of change over the Last age, while many Orkuun Clans, Strongholds and Tribes still have fealty to the Dark, there is an ever growing population of the Light nations and lands that are Orkuun, as after the Last Godswar the shackles of the Dark were loosened and many clans and Tribes took the path of the Light.
When they are Dark however, they are very dark and most councillors of the Dark Council have at least 2 Orkuun bodyguards, as once they serve they will serve without question, they are literally immune to being bribed, it is part of the Orkuun honour system. If they person they work for breaches their contract they will likely be the one to kill them for besmirching their honour.
There are many Orkuun serving in armies of nations they once ravaged in wars or raids, but while they were a Warrior Species when they served the Dark, many Orkuun have taken up different ways of serving their once foes, from Smiths and artisans to farmers and priests of the Light. The artistic nature that was subjugated when they served the Dark is flourishing.
There are a number of Light countries where the nation is dominated by Orkuun but there are also a number of Dark nations where the Warlord who rules with an Iron fist is an Orkuun.

Civilization and Culture
Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
Dark Orkuun don't get on with almost every other species, they have limited relations with Ogres but they use them often as shock troops and pay for them in that respect, they tend to respect strength above everything else and they consider very few species to be a strong or stronger. Though they famously get on well with Hobgoblins and the Dwavizikâth whom they regularly ally with when taking on any Light settlement. Light Orkuun tend to be the exact opposite and get on with everyone, the Yahak Varg are renowned for the massive parties that they throw whenever they have the opportunity, inviting everyone they can to join in.

Body Tint, Colouring and Marking
Orkuun skin colour depends on where they are from in the world, their skin tone like that of Elves or humans, dependent on the melanin in their skin, though Orkuun from the arctic tundras do have white hair that covers their body to help them blend into their surroundings. Some Orkuun have a similar trait depending on where they reside, though not all, it is generally due to an extreme environment that they have evolved this way. It makes them better hunters.
