Hi, I'm Jeremy. I'm not a new player marshal, but it's always awesome to see new players, especially ones trying to tackle races like Orcs and hobgoblins. About Enax and the Warscream, I assume that orcs of the Warscream clan worship Enax's might. Might=authority, especially in the Warscream clan, and there's a reason why Enax's symbol is a mailed fist, because iron fists hurt and help to keep people in order.

Hey Kyle, Name is Conor and I'm a New Player Marshal. So looks like your questions for the most part got answered.
While we are open to any and all suggestions I am sure, my suggestion for helping with the Lore....since the deadlines for different races hasn't been posted yet, is to come to a couple events first to see how people react to the race in general.

The 40k accent has been used for orcs before and we like it 
Heck, my character uses basically the 40k accent for Space Wolves, and people enjoy my pseudo northman-isms
And while you don't need trade: Cook, having trade cook is awesome for getting the little trade cards you can trade in for build

Howdy! I'm one of the Veterans here, and a Staff member - wanted to chime in on the Enax thing, as there is a distinction that is very important.
Enax is not about LAW - that is Valos. He is about AUTHORITY. Enax cares very little about right or wrong, justice, etc. What he represents is the pecking order of Authority - usually, those who worship him the most (Hobgoblins) rule over others, using his gifts, and enforcing their authority over others. This is why Orcs, Goblins, Ogres, etc. may not be as "orderly" - they aren't orderly by nature or choice, but mostly because the Hobgoblins beat them into submission, drill them into battle formation, and do drills. Without the Hobgoblins to lead the Empire, it would fall apart very quickly.
Hopefully that helps with the world setting!

Geoffrey J. Schaller,
Thank you for the clarification, that helps a lot! "An Enaxian must obey the law of the land." is what was throwing me off I think. To put it in d&d terms, Valos would be Lawful Good, Enax would be Lawful Neutral, correct? Law for the sake of obedience, not for the sake of justice. "Followers of Enax believe that society is best guided by the leadership of one powerful ruler, whose command is law. The ruler, in return, has a sacred duty to lead her people wisely, choosing always the course of action that brings the greatest good upon society." Individual sacrifice for the greater good.

Correct, LN vs. LG is a good assessment. The catch is, of course, that if said ruler is NOT a good, wise, one... you dare not challenge it without the power to back up your words.
