Combat techniques are the only area in which the Orcs have an organized education program
Education: Education does not feature prominently in Orc society. Instead, they prefer to allow their young to fend Aion Gold for themselves. Combat techniques are the only area in which the Orcs have an organized education program.
Once an Orc, male or female, is able to walk they are swiftly taken into combat classes were they spend up to 9 hours a day in training. Once they reach adulthood, considered to be 13, the strongest will continue in their training whilst the weak are diverted to other fields.
Faith: Orc faith is grounded in their past, with respect for their Ancestors at its core. All Orcs aspire to stand amongst the revered when they fall on the battlefield and so they fight on to gain hero status.
Before each battle the majority of Orcs go through a pre-battle ritual in which they pray to their ancestors, and mark their weapons or skin with the names of the honored ones.
The Hunters and Mages tend to live longer lives due to their lack of close range combat, the bulk of those that choose this class will live until at least their 70s.
The Orcs however are also aware that they are not the only ones that occupy the lands of Chantra and are careful to respect the Spirits that occupy Chantra’s plains.
