Beast Horde

We are the chosen ones by the gods, we were the first to tame the land and in doing so we were the first to rule. For centuries our people have suffered a terrible loss to the Humans, but this too shall pass, for our time is near and the god's arrival shall be soon.

Many years ago, my ancestors fled from the Humans after their empire crumbled, my grandfather always told me how important the lands to the north were. "They are the gateway to the gods" he said and that is why we must conquer them again, for the Humans have defiled that which is sacred.

My ancestors met with heavy resistance when they came to this land, many times it has been called the Land of the Lost as the many species scattered through it were lost and confused. That was until we, the Khorvanns came almost like prophets to these people and with little resistance united with us. We imposed our beliefs and customs upon them, and even though we were worlds apart from them they accepted everything, eventually we found we shared more in common than we thought.

Although us Khorvanns ruled with our theocratic rule, we established a hierarchy to solidify the clans into the Horde. The integration of other warring clans quickly fortified our position as a powerful force through the south, gaining allies where we went or obliterating those who opposed us. Our class based society began with the slaves or peons, workers and prisoners we used to bolster our empire, then the common people whom with their faith kept our leaders focused on the ultimate goal. Warriors were next, whom kept our lands safe and were instruments of the god's will, last were the theocrats who carried us through our journey and kept us united as one.

After years of struggle, the Horde was a solid force that could launch its might against the petty Humans once and for all, for their time of judgement had come. Our objective was to assault the north, rally the Humans as slaves and finally erect the monument the gods had requested from us, so that they would come to this world and take us back as their noble servants. The time is now my brothers, the Horde shall fight every last Human there is, for the gods protect us and their will shall be done...
Part 2 of the low fantasy story Im writing. The Beast Horde, the faithful followers of their gods seek to take back their ancient lands whom the Humans have defiled.
