<quote>“One life - make it count”</quote>

Two generations ago they were slaves. They won their freedom by strength and indomitable will, forcing the Empire to recognise the injustice it perpetrated against them. Now they choose to fight as part of the Empire that once they were forced to serve. Bereft of a homeland, they strive to carve out a land for themselves and their children.

Like battle, loyalty is part of the orc soul. The barbarian orcs feel a powerful instinctive loyalty towards their tribe; they need to feel as if they are part of something larger than themselves. For the Imperial Orcs, the Empire itself has become their tribe. They fought - and still fight - to be accepted and prove themselves the equal of any [[The Brass Coast|Freeborn]], [[Highguard|Highborn]] or [[Wintermark|Winterfolk]]. While they have no land, the Imperial Orcs consider themselves to be part of a single nation, each legion being a tight-knit family that works and lives together but ultimately knows it is part of a great Empire.

Orcs love to fight, but the Imperial Orcs temper their primal instincts with military discipline. Most are professional soldiers serving with their legions to secure the Empire’s borders, but the Imperial Orcs work throughout the Empire to strengthen it and to carve out a role for themselves within it. Some work closely with the Magistrates, their uncompromising adherence to order making them natural supporters of Empire's laws. Their preachers are active in the Synod, proving to their critics that the orcs not only have souls, but that they can embrace the Way as fervently as any humans.

They are creatures of two worlds; every orc hears the whisper of those who have gone before in their souls. The ancestors are with them, but they present a great challenge. Their ancestors are old, spiteful barbarians and hateful slaves, who cannot understand the choices their descendants have made. They need to find new voices to listen to,

Finally, they are a people without a homeland. The other nations look down on them as a vagabond people, fighting in the Empire's wars but having no land of their own. They have no voice in the Senate, and so cannot hope to guide the destiny of the Empire they have embraced.

Orcs believe they have only one life to live; they strive to burn brightly and leave a better world for their children to inherit.

===Five things to know about the Imperial Orcs===
* '''Loyal to the core.''' Our loyalty to our legion, our nation and our Empire makes us who we are.
* '''We are citizens.''' We won the right to be part of this Empire and we are proud of our place in it.
* '''We are building a nation.''' We have no lands and no senators - it is down to us to win these things in battle.
* '''War is in our soul.''' Fighting is spiritual and it allows us to hear our ancestors.
* '''Life is precious.''' You have just one chance to make your mark. Do not squander it.

===What the Imperial Orcs are not===
* '''Traditional orcs.''' While the Imperial Orcs draw on some ideas found in other settings, they have their own unique culture and background. They are not the orcs of Lord of the Rings or Games Workshop's Warhammer setting; many elements of those settings do not fit and have been deliberately excluded.
* ''' Brutal or callous savages.''' Imperial Orcs are few in number and if they are to build a nation they cannot afford to lose warriors every time they fight. They enjoy battle, but they strive to minimize losses and they take no particular pleasure in killing.

==The Music of Imperial Orcs==

===Style summary===
Taiko drumming, repetitive chants, early English songs as sources.

Born from the armies of Thrace and the freed slaves of the Empire, the Imperial Orcs have settled
near the City of Anvil and created many family groups and Several Legions. Having lived for many
generations as slaves, there is little that remains of any tribal history or culture. Consequently, the
music of the Orcs is derivative of many influences. Also, Orcs lived in many parts of the Empire,
where snatches of songs were overheard and adapted.

Slave songs - These were composed in many mines and sung to simple beats played on improvised
percussion instruments, these are often sombre laments for lost freedom and tales of a terrible life
in slavery.

War songs - Composed by the legions during and after the rebellion. These are songs of great
deeds, the joy of battle and the comradeship of arms. Played with drums and often consisting of
rhythmic chants. Also marching songs for those long days on the way to war.

Songs of ‘Worth’ - The Orcish culture of recalling the history of objects and investing them with
worth, alongside the worship of, and connection to, the ancestors, has led to many stories and
songs being composed that are handed down from singer to singer or from Shaman to Shaman.
Some are told as epic tales and sagas, and some are made into simple songs. The recent exposure
to many of the Empire’s cultures has brought many musical influences into the orc encampment and
songs can be done in many styles, although they still have an orcish feel of chants and repetition to
them, and instrumentation is often simplified to percussion, drones and layers of voices.

===Commonly known songs or chants===

* [[Blood and Bone]] - very easy chant, good for improvising
* [[Erthe Upon Erthe]] - a rhythmic chant or song with difficult early English words

====Instrumentation and tunes====

Use drums and Bodrhans for percussion.

Use of simple chords or even drones.

====Other performance traditions====

Tales of how 'objects of worth' have gained their value are popular. For example a banner that has been carried through several campaigns would have the battles that it was carried in told as a long story. It may mention the chiefs that fought under it, and warriors who performed great acts of courage or sacrifice. This could be told as a saga with some sections sung or chanted, and be accompanied by a drumbeat or clapping to help get the audience involved.

===How to adapt your repertoire===
It is important that music for the Orcs has the correct 'feel'. It should not be too folky or modern in feel. If you want to adapt a song that you know, try performing it with just drums or unaccompanied.

There should also be a simple chorus to allow others to join in with or another vocal line. Try to add underlying bass lines or simple chants to run under the verses or choruses. Layered vocals make an excellent effect.

Lost Segura

<song>

Now breathes the wind from lost Segura
Bearing a memory of spices as it blows
The orange trees at noon, their sweet perfume
The gardens at midnight where white jasmine grows

Nothing remains in lost Segura
In ashes and dust the City lies
And pale, beloved bones lie on cracked stones
Lost to the sun and the wind and the skies

Carry my heart to lost Segura
Tell it I'll keep the vow I made
To the city of my Kin - and once again
Sip wine by its river and drowse in its shade

Aaaa, lost Segura...
