Kadria is a province of the great Elven Empire (officially known as 'The Land of Andramiel'), a great Empire cast in the mold of Imperial Rome, though with a much greater racial component in who is in charge. The empire is Lawful Neutral, shading into Evil occasionally due primarily to racism. Kadria was conquered by the empire approximately 200 years ago, but has never really assimilated, especially in the rough terrain and forests in the North of the country.
Culturally, it is a mix of feuding little tribes and clans of various sorts, and ruled by a number of warlords as much as by the official Elven government, and the people of the country (which it remains culturally if not legally) despise their foreign Overlords and kill them when they can. It's been described to my players as a combination of Afghanistan and ancient Ireland, in terms of feuding groups and hatred of foreign conquerors. The Elves rule, especially in the South, but their soldiers travel en masse in the North, or they vanish from the face of the earth...but the same is true of Kadrians traveling through the wrong tribe's territory as well. Their culture as whole is Chaotic Neutral.
Racially, the common people of Kadria are a mix of Humans, Orcs, and Half Orcs, with humans slightly most common. Orcs originate from a large island (approximately as large as Kadria) off the coast and immigrated to Kadria millenia ago and fought with, intermarried, and eventually became partially homogenized with the humans who lived there already. There is little racism between the two races in Kadria, with conflicts breaking down along tribal lines, rather than racial ones. Orcs make up the majority of the population in the West, while Humans do in the East, but there's a lot of overlap in central Kadria.
This setting was created as the basis for a rebellion campaign against the Elven Empire, and details on surrounding areas, several pantheons of gods, and a variety of other setting details have been worked out. I will gradually be posting these details in logical chunks, probably starting with the Orcish Gods.
Requests for particular material will be taken into account and probably granted, and discussion and suggestions are welcome.

I look forward to the orcish gods section
I think they're interesting, and I'm going to study them a bit more.
And maybe steal a few...
The two I was able to read (making a total of three with the one from the other thread) seem really interesting (they also seem on par with how I have been running my Orcs for years now). However Google docs keeps telling me that the file is corrupted and will only load the first page. :(

Well, crap. It works for me...but then I wrote it.
Anyone else having this problem? I can try fiddling with it if other people are having issues.

dotting and good stuff so far!
Thanks, glad you like it.
No problems reading it, then?
And more will be coming (the human pantheon is next, probably)...but while I've got all this in my head, and some written down, it's all in hard copy, so I have to re-write it from scratch for this...and the Human pantheon is like twice the size of the Orcish one. So...it might be a little while.
Nope, checked it again today, still getting the error message.

Try this one?
It's the same info, but a different file. Maybe that'll help.

That one did it too, I think it may be my browser.
Just my Browser IE opened it no problem
I went to the Orc Pantheon doc and it worked fine for me. What browser are you using? Have you tried Firefox?

Any Kaiju, or other monstrous mythic beasties in Kadria? Firearms? Notable undead?
