	After losing their old homelands in Thadria, the orcs of Druzda have become fiercely protective of their independence. If the Khanate as a whole ever faces an external threat, any internal conflicts or disagreements are immediately disregarded to unify against those who would undermine their nation. Non-orcs are somewhat accepted in Druzdan society, though unfamiliar faces are usually viewed with caution and suspicion until one's intents have been proven.

			While not a truly matriarchal society, Druzdan women occupy prominent roles as advisors to clan leaders, if not as the leaders themselves. In the image of Mortuga they are also the foremost protectors of the clan.

	There are no central written laws in Druzda. Instead, each clan holds their own particular practices with regards to what is allowed and what justice means. Despite this, there are a series of principles that are commonly held - the most famous of these is known as the Blood Pact. The Blood Pact is not a written document, but rather a set of principles passed through oral traditions. The Pact consists of an elaboration of the following:		There are no central written laws in Druzda.

	# The Torrents: Any inter-clan conflicts are to be ceased during the Torrents, when the snow melts at the end of winter, the rivers become fast-moving deluges of water, and the grasslands turn to marshes. This is an opportunity for all clans to replenish their food stores without interruption.
	Viridia’s recruiting of young orcs is not universally looked upon favorably. Many orc clans view working under a human military as being beneath them, or even as a betrayal, and refuse to take part. Nevertheless, the tribute that’s paid in return sways enough. Few are recruited per year, rarely more than a few dozen at most.

	=== Society ===		=== Society ===
	The clan is the primary social structure of the Druzda Khanate. A clan is an extended family, and can be anywhere from a dozen to a few hundred people. Clans descend from a particular individual they hold in an esteemed position, who usually provides the clan its name - when clans get large enough, it is typical for members to split away peacefully. Loyalty to the clan is paramount, and going against the clan is always punished harshly.		The clan is the primary social structure of the Druzda Khanate.
