 ====== Throwing Axes ======
+//Orc Corp Throwing Axes are compact, single-handed axes purpose-built for being hurled rather than swung. Each axe carries significant mass behind its edge, giving it the momentum to cause severe injuries on impact, particularly at close range. They are sold in matched packs for rapid successive throws and are commonly used as a brutal alternative to short-range assault weapons when enemies are advancing. In practice, their bulk makes them unwieldy for two-handed use without specialised modification, reinforcing their identity as simple, savage, and overwhelmingly direct weapons.//\\
+----
+//Xenohistorians have long noted that orcs did not so much “invent” the axe as organically grow around it, treating the tool as equal parts implement, symbol, and proof of adulthood. Across centuries of clan warfare, resource scarcity, and ritualised violence, the axe became inseparable from orcish identity — a language of iron, momentum, and decisiveness. Many non-orc sapients now argue that this cultural fixation on simple, overwhelming force naturally crystallised into what the galaxy knows today as Orc Corp. In that sense, Orc Corp is less a company than the institutional memory of a people who have always preferred to solve problems by cutting them in half.//\\
