Origin
Within the history of the game, the black orcs were created magically from the ordinary Orc by Chaos Dwarf sorcerers in an attempt to engineer a superior slave (chaos dwarf generals were allowed to field many Orc and Goblin units in their armies). The Black Orcs were too strong-willed, and after an inevitable revolt, many escaped from the lands of the Chaos Dwarfs. They can now be found among Orc societies across the Old World gravitating to command positions because of their size and ability.

Famous quotes containing the word origin:
“Someone had literally run to earth
In an old cellar hole in a byroad
The origin of all the family there.
Thence they were sprung, so numerous a tribe
That now not all the houses left in town
Made shift to shelter them without the help
Of here and there a tent in grove and orchard.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
