Martankus
Ancestor Martankus is the so-called "Originator" of the Hestui tribe. After the defeat by the Human-Elf alliance and their retreat to the safety of the Immortal Plateau, the Orcs had split into seven tribes: the Hestui, the Atuba, the Neruga, the Gandi, the Duda-Mara, the Ragna and the Urutu. In an attempt to deal with their defeat, they made up their own religion, with a somewhat simplified creation myth which claimed that after Pa'agrio had made the First Orc, he had sent him directly to the Immortal Plateau "to control the chaos"; no mention being made of the Orcs having been put to work as soldiers by the Giants. The conflict with the other races was explained as "the gods of wind, earth and water" being jealous of the First Orc's power, who was "much stronger than their puny creations". It was those gods who were seeking to kill the First Orc. "Eventually they were successful, but not before the mighty Orc created, with his last dying breath, the originators of the Seven Tribes." Those "Seven Originators" (a representation of the low population base after the retreat) were then working hard to make the tribes prosperous, increasing their numbers until they had among them 108 clans.
