The Orcs of Leona Settlement - A History
In the early settlement years of Thaija Island, the orcs of Leona sailed into the bay, hailing from the continent of Storobos. They had been taught war, plundering, pillaging, and savagery were the ways to survive. Upon arrival, the orcs of Leona discovered that there were no enemies to defeat on the island. Isolation and exploration led the orcs to discover spirituality, mindfulness, and joy. With each generation their inherited anger diminished until it was non-existent. Now, despite other races and communities inhabiting the island, the Leona orcs have remained peaceful and kind. They have good standing relations with every known community within Thaija Island and often hold bonfires for their fellow colonizers.

Lifestyle of the Orcs of Leona
While orcs tend to be brute and murderous in nature, the orcs of Leona are the complete opposite. They enjoy clothing in comfortable flowing silks and cottons, or nothing at all; They enjoy swimming and exploring, taking time to appreciate the natural beauty of the world; They make friends with every creature they come across, rarely having any enemies. In a typical day of an orc of Leona you will find them tending to their plants, weaving flowers and vines, making wine from wild grapes, and participating in a number of social activities. It is rare to see an orc of Leona alone, as they enjoy the company of their community members. If the orcs of Leona are threatened with violence, their suffocating friendliness and kindness tends to make their attackers back off or flee. This has created an air of suspicion and many people befriend the orcs simply to avoid any possible hidden threats from the supposedly peaceful people.
