== Hope ==
Built around the core virtue of Hope, this orcish city state dates its origin back to the original diaspora of the orcish race. From those beginnings, Hope has grown into a mighty city state. With eyes turned toward the future it is likely that Hope will remain until the end of Ramesh itself.

==== Unmoving and Undefeated ====
Currently, Hope has been engaged in a four-hundred year long war with Hafnar. Despite odds being stacked against them, the orcs refuse to yield. They are as unmoving as stone and unshakable as the midday sky. The orcs of Hope have said many times that they will never surrender to Hafnar.

==== Core Virtue ====
The core virtue is the founding principle of any orc city state. Hope’s core virtue infuses the people with a radical optimism toward life. Within each and every person who resides inside the city is the belief that life will improve. Because of this Hope has an extraordinary ability to tolerate turmoil in any form.

==== The Martyr’s Tithe ====
Many in the Unclaimed Lands recognize the service that Hope provides holding back Hafnar. If the Breoan city were to destroy Hope, it is likely Breoan raiders would swarm south and plunder the chaotic lands. So other cities within the Unclaimed Lands send soldiers to Hope. These soldiers are called the Martyr’s Tithe. Upon arrival they fall under the Grand General of the Hope Armies and begin their three year stay. After three years, the soldiers under the Tithe are sent home while new recruits replenish the ranks. One in three never head home.

==== No End in Sight ====
The orcs will never surrender to Hafnar, that much is clear. However, they also do not have the soldiers nor training to strike at the city of Hafnar itself. All raiding attempts have been met by fierce resistance. The forging city remains an unassailable jewel. Thus, the orc simply wait,biding their time until an opportunity arises.

==== Festival of Hope ====
Every five years during the summer solstice, the Festival of Hope occurs. This grand celebration draws in visitors from all over Ramesh. Food, alcohol, and friendship is abundant. The yearly festivities are so magnificent that people as far as [[Nation of Zell|Western Bospora]] have been known to make pilgrimages to attend. All are welcome to the orcs at this time. They view it as spreading their core virtue to the world and the many gifts and influx of foreign gold never
