Conflicts between orcs, felines, and aurians are evidenced early in the archaeological record in east Gondwana, where the latter two species first evolved at near the same time as the orcs did. Some theorize that the arrival of the orcs in Eastern Gondwana was the cause of the earliest migrations of felines to [[Yasteria]], though this is unproven. After the feline population decreased, the orcish population experienced a notable boom. Orcish arrival in southwestern Gondwana appears to have led to a major decline in the lutryne population, though these orcs would later themselves be replaced in the region with later arriving species. However, by the advent of urbanization, most of Urth’s sentient species existed on every continent in some amount.
 
One of the oldest documented civilizations of orcs is [[Ni-Rao]], in the Ni valley of Gondwana’s northwestern coast. While the current polity dates to 900 BCE, Raonite culture and proto-Raonite cultures are evidenced as early as 3100 BCE. The area of northwestern Gondwana continues to host primarily-orcish societies into the current day, including the [[Tavaris|Tavari]], the collective nations of the [[Federation of Bana|Bana]] peoples (Miku, Okun, and Loko), the people of t[[The Danvreas|hethe Danvreas]], and the modern Raonites. It is a common misconception that orcs are predisposed toward tribal societies; while Tavari and Banian societies were tribe-based in the past, orcish societies of all types are documented across the historical record. It is also untrue that orcs are more violent than other species. Both of these misconstrued beliefs have been used to justify violence against or discriminate against orcs throughout history.
