    Imo orsimer from the Elder Scrolls series. Instead of the typical "nobel savage" bullshit you see with your typical portrayal of orcs, orsimer culture is split between nomadic tribes and stronghold orcs who live in fortified compounds on account of the neighboring peoples constantly attempting to commit genocide on them. Some of their larger strongholds like the capital of Wrothgar, Orsinium have begun to industrialise in a setting where pretty much every surviving society is still feudal (and it's revealed in ESO'S Wrothgar dlc that this isn't the first time they tried, having lost a lot of their manufacturing infrastructure during an invasion).

    The orc king in Daggerfall tries to use part of a dead machine god to rewrite the universe to remove racism.
