The Vroks were originally bred for war by Golan genetic engineers a thousand years ago during the great war. At the time, they knew only one thing: war. And they lived a life in slavery to the Gola for many years until the end of the war. After the war ended, many Vroks ended up leaving Gothica, to find and build a life for themselves elsewhere. It is unknown whether they escaped their enslavement to the Gola, or if the Empire actually let them go. All that is known is that there are a diverse number of Vrok villages and camps all across the world. But since many other peoples around the world still look up the Vroks with suspicion and fear, most tend to keep to themselves and stick to their own communities, choosing not to mingle with others, in order to avoid the suspicion. They don't want a conflict with others, in fact, which goes completely against the very nature they were bred into.
However, some Vroks still hold that urge for violence, outcasts from the communities, and travel the world searching for battle. Some have even taken to the high seas as pirates. This may be why that fear and suspicion still remains today. But many of these Vroks wonder, what else are they good for, if not for battle and war?
Most Vroks seem to have found that answer for themselves. Some are very proficient with sailing and building ships and even airships, even rivaling the abilities of the Vikarahn in their own right. Some have, quite surprisingly, found a love for art, creating some masterpieces that even museums in Almahna and Atlantea have put on display. So despite the fear, despite the suspicion, some people have found a way to connect with Vroks in these ways.
