Year 112: The Birth of the Orc Race and Gruk'thar's Evolution
---
1. The Transformation of Gruk'thar:
Upon ascending to the status of the First Ancestral God, Gruk'thar undergoes a profound transformation, both in body and spirit. His newfound godhood does not merely grant him overwhelming power but also changes him into a being beyond his former Goblin nature.
Gruk'thar evolves into a Special Evolved, becoming the ancestor of a new race—the Orcs. His body grows exponentially larger, more muscular, and far more imposing. He stands as a symbol of raw physical might and resilience, combining his goblin cunning with incredible strength.
2. The Birth of the Orc Race:
From Gruk'thar's transformation, the Orc race is born. His new form inspires the creation of a people who embody the strengths of both the Goblins and the power he has acquired through the Titan and Dragon bloodlines.
Orcs are taller, stronger, and far more physically capable than Goblins, rivaling the Giants in terms of strength and size. They inherit Gruk'thar's cunning and tactical mind, but also his drive for constant evolution and growth.
The Orc race begins to spread across Tempest, with many emerging in regions previously dominated by Goblins. They quickly become a dominant force among the lesser races, and their numbers grow rapidly.
3. Gruk'thar's Status as the Strongest (Except for Dragons and Titans):
As an Ancestral God and Special Evolved, Gruk'thar becomes one of the most powerful beings on the continent. His physical might, magical prowess, and ability to shape the very elements of the world make him a force to be reckoned with.
However, despite his immense strength, Gruk'thar remains second only to the Dragons and Titans. With the Dragons having recently gained a God, their strength at the God stage rivals that of Ancestral Gods.
Similarly, the Titans, already a race known for their overwhelming power, are as strong as Ancestral Gods at their God level. This balance ensures that while Gruk'thar reigns supreme among the mortal races, the Dragons and Titans still stand as the ultimate powers on Tempest.
4. The Reaction of Other Races:
The rise of the Orcs causes concern among the other races, particularly the Humans, Dwarves, and Goblins. Once thought of as weak or expendable, Goblins now see the ascension of Gruk'thar as a sign of their potential for greatness. Many Goblins flock to Gruk'thar's banner, hoping to be part of this new Orcish era.
The Demons, who once enslaved Gruk'thar, view the creation of the Orc race with disdain and fear. They realize that they may have birthed a powerful enemy that could one day challenge their control over the enslaved races.
The Giants and Angels remain neutral, watching with interest to see how the Orcs will grow and how Gruk'thar will use his newfound strength.
5. Gruk'thar's Vision for the Orcs:
Gruk'thar is not content with simply ruling over his new people. He envisions the Orcs as a race of constant evolution, striving for physical and magical superiority. His ultimate goal is for the Orcs to one day rival even the Dragons and Titans in power.
To this end, Gruk'thar begins teaching the Orcs the secrets of transformation and evolution that allowed him to rise to power. He envisions an Orcish future where his people can ascend to Godhood and potentially challenge the supremacy of the Dragons and Titans.
