Orks

Orks, also known as hobgoblins (or goblins for the larger kinds), are monstrous beasts of humanized shape. They were slave armies of the Dasu'r, deliberately perverted to more closely resembe Men. Their 'talking' was largely echoics set in them by the Dasu'r. Even their rebellious critical words – the Dasu'r knew about them. The Dasu'r taught them speech and as they bred they inherited this. They had just as much independence as have dogs or horses of their human masters.
