The demi-humans have always existed at the edges of the world and faraway from any civilized society.
Their numbers were low and their intelligence was even lower, true savages. They were considered no different than monsters, but they made for good slaves and laborers.
And so that was what they were until the age of dread came to be, when the majority of humans fled to the subterranean realm, the slaves were picked up by the Dreadlords.
It was three of the thirteen Dreadlords who took special attention to the demi-humans, first was Orcalacth, the forefather of all orcs know as the lord of savagery and bloodshed.
Second was the Abhorrent beast, the lord of the hunt, and lastly, the three headed wolf of nightmares.
Once the demi-humans submitted to the various Dreadlords, somehow the three lords influenced the demi-humans with their foul powers and changed them to increase their intelligence and their numbers flourished like never before.
