Dogma
The universal ruler demands that his followers be strong and that they take all the territory they thinks is rightfully theirs (which is almost everything). Unceasing warfare is his creed, though he does not object to colonization of weak nations.
In life the universial ruler was the founder and first Emperor of the Orc Empire which has become the largest empire in world history. He is remembered for the brutality of his campaigns and as a genocidal ruler. All orcs regard him as the founding father of there nation.
He came to power by uniting the nomadic orc tribes of Northeast Asia, founding the Orc Empire and being proclaimed “The universal ruler”, he started invasions that resulted in the conquest of most of Eurasia. These campaigns were accompanied by wholesale massacres of the civilian populations.
By the end of his mortal life, he occupied a substantial portion of Central Asia and China. Before assending into Godhood he assigned his successor and split his empire into khanates among his sons and grandsons.
Since his descendants have extended the Empire across most of Eurasia by conquering or creating vassal states. Repeating his large-scale slaughters of local populations continuing the empires fearsome reputation.
Beyond his military accomplishments, he advanced the Empire in other ways. He decreed the orc’s indocotive schooling system. Due to orcs distain for the Gods, he proclamed religous tolerance thoughout the Empire.
Due to the orcs love of new technology they police the Silk Road. This has brought communication and trade from Asia into Europe.
Clergy and Temples
Dressed for war his clerics strive to become the war leaders of their communities or the key advisors to those leaders. They also see to the culling of the weak and unfit. A temple or shrine to the universal ruler lies at the heart of nearly every orc community. They tend to be oppressive places full of acrid smoke with the stench of blood. Temples and larger shrines invariably have holding cells where sacrifices are kept and many feature gladiatorial arenas.
