Your people are the Svinn clan, sometimes called "aggressive-looking man-orcs" by those humans of Kakhabad who have not yet known the modest grace of your hospitality (or a corrective fist to the face).
For generations they've survived and, dare you say, thrived in the village of Torrepani. There, on the edge of the Shamutanti Hills, the disparate collection of outcasts who would become the Svinns settled and founded a home for themselves after they were pushed out of gentler lands by the slow, grinding vagaries of prejudice. Ever since, it has been a refuge for those of "unlucky" birth; a quiet place of community and acceptance in that rough land.
And then the Analander showed up. That enigmatic wanderer, that champion of Libra tasked with retrieving the Crown of Kings. They shook all of Kakhabad to its bones in their wake as they journeyed to defeat the Archmage of Mampang. The way they slew the dreaded manticore and rescued Chieftess Tia when she was but a child sent ripples throughout the community.
After all, no kindness like this had ever been shown to the Svinns by an outsider in living memory- quietly ignoring the part where the whole town shoved the Analander into a basket and forced them down into the manticore's lair to do it, of course.
Their exploits inspired a whole generation of Svinn children, yourself included. What if the people in the outside world aren't so bad? Or if they are, what if there's at least more neat and exciting stuff out there?
It wasn't long after you came of age that you decided to venture beyond the thatched roofs of Torrepani.
