Looking at the thumbnail, for a split-second I thought "orcs wearing Adrian helmets marching with Lebel rifles? Mobilization is underway and they're off to take their places on the fronts CORF - the Maginot Line!"
Well, the French did have a lot of non-European troops - why not orcs?

AH! yeah indeed. Surely if they had orcs, they would have some Orc Colonial Fusiliers too! XD

Orcs army is dangerous for woman. Even for orc's woman. Even not only orc's army.

Woah! A lot of writing there! Thanks! I hope I'm not keeping you from drawing or your studies! There is clearly a lot of ground in your world -- how the demons fit into it is yet another story. There is a "Lord of the Rings" type breadth of epic wars and history going on! But just as you've managed to make Negeemiliel something other than just a den of drow wickedness; I'm certain that the 'demons' in your hands will likely be something grey as well!

XD Is time I lost anyway.
And yes, the demons are as well somewhat grey... thought their moral values are drastically different of us, so still "evil".
Even more, the word "demon" is a propaganda:
In my world, the demons where from an underworld complex, who seems to emigrated to the surface due internal strugles, exile or other similar problem:
They invaded some lands, but due their physical apparience, and the struggle of power between the temporal and spiritual powers in the human christian societies, they where used as a tool to confirmate the hegemony of the spiritual power -the church- over the society:
The Humans called them Demons...
And the demons addopted later the "human name" as well for political reasons: to use the terror in their favor, and to present themselves as enemies of humanity, to gain as allies species and races that the humans pursuited and tried to conquer, anihilate or incorporate.
This basically created in the end an alliance between the Humans and the remanents of the high elf empire, as well some ocasional allies as Dwarfs, against the Demons, dark elfs, beast-people, ogres, orcs, giants, and basically everybody else who was in bad terms with the "light" elves and the humans, due their own imperialsm and expansionism.
XD
-So basically the demons presented as themselves as liberators of the non-humans!-
Thought, with the time, this changed as well -as do the political games-
Maybe sometime I make a story related to the wars of the Demons in Aels, rather than the problems of South Aels, the sea of Caritz, and Zarhuy...

XD Sort of how native peoples are 'savages' marauding against the 'good' settlers (colonialists), or larger and more advanced native societies are 'evil tyrannies' who engage in 'devil worship'!

More or less...
Thought in the end, the demons turned as despotic -or more- than the humans, and obligating people o pay a blood tax to be sacrificed, and rule by terror, is not allways a policy that create thrust relations. XD

Interesting -- is it the same group from the Maylara -- captain and acolyte battle? They are on the surface it looks like. Did the group only make occasional forays into the underground; or is this a pic of the previous generation?

Nopes and nopes.
They are one of the numerous Dark legions from the Nigromancer of Tok-Thoria, thought the equipment identify them from being of the same era:
Middle human hegemony age / Demonic Age, and they can be fromany of the numerous operations realized by the Nigromancer during the First War of the powers (between the Demons -and a coahlition of non-humans trying to avoid being incorporated to the humanity- and the humans) or in the later wars that ragged the south of Aels, between the Empire of Uslen, the Caliphate of Blazakhov and the Nigromancer of Tok-Thoria.
:3
However, the similarity is that these equipment are the uniforms and armors from the Tok-Thorian black orcs, the Koktos, who where originally breeded by the Nigromancer itself.
So it can be very well they are a previous generation, from the same age, or even posterior.
However, in the late Demonic age of hegemony, the koktos will be largelly relegated as foot troopers in the armies of Tok-Thoria by the Pixerians. (Pixerian: [link] )

example of more Koktos of Tok-Thoria: [link]

Looks like the nigromancer(s) of Tok-Thoria has caused a lot of trouble for a long time. Although with soldiers like the Koktos, I'm not sure how dangerous he really was to other armed states. The Pixerians would be a major threat though! How could a society be able to make those things while outfitting and training even cheap soldiers so poorly? Of course, there may never have been enough Pixerians really make a real difference, I suppose?

The Nigromancer was one of the 5 "Capital demons" of Aels:
In order, they where "Don Sata", or more politely, Sataan, Lord of Demons; Satman, the Sorcerer; the Nigromancer of Tok-Thoria, the warlock king of Dol-Nur, and the Dark Lord of ZΓ€gal.
They coordinated after some centuries a demonic empire, wich conformated an alliance with several non-human nations to opose organizated resistence to the human/kanov expansion, in the War of the Powers (there where two of them).
The Nigromancer used first as troopers Lycantropes and demons, but soon he lacked the numerical strength:
A provisional solution where Kanov (human) and Draak Harg mercenaries.
But then, he breeded the Koktos, as is first "foot soldiers": Finally, he had the numbers, but the poorly armed where defeated several times, and he began to equip them with the armors and weapons you see them in -cheap, mass produced, and effectively enough- but he discovered that, after some defeats and pirric victories, that they wheren't the ideal soldier he was looking for:
So, in the late demonic Age, he developed the armies of Pixerianos and Creations, who reemplaced the Koktos, relegating them as auxiliary forces and light infantry, if not completely as workforce.
The Pixerian where made in numbers, and the Koktos reemplaced or relegated -this created in a moment massive migrations of "unemployed" black orcs, who where truly deserters and escaped slaves-:
However, even with the power of the Pixerians, the demons where defeated, and with the Cataclysm, began the Late Age of Human dominion.
:3
-So: why the nigromancer trained the Koktos? Because he used them for Quantity, not quality, and under the discipline of their demonic commanders, the Koktos where even rather effective.
As Stalin said: "Quantity is a quality in their own".
With no regard to the lives of their soldiers, the nigromancer use waves and waves of orcs to debilitate and scatter the enemy lines, meanwhile he concentrated his better forces in a single point to break the enemy front.
The nigromancer had some points was able to over run with his massive orc armies (and still a insignificant number in comparison of heavier and better troops) overrun most of the Republic of Uslen and the Caliphate of Bazikstan, and what breaked is control wasn't a problem with his orc soldiers, but a serie of naval disasters, wich cutted from supplies and payment his forces, who needed to scatter to pick resources and survive, moment used by the Blazakhovians to counter-attack, dispersing the remanent forces of the Nigromancer in Zarhuy.
The Unlics of Uslen, thougth, had more problems as they where neighboars of the Nigromancer: but after the Nigromancer was defeated by the Caliphate of Blazakhov, they revealed, hitting the weakened army of the Nigromancer.

Oh, you where expecting maybe certain "orc" of light green skin and some suspiciously large, pointy ears?
Sorry to disapoint, but this isn't an antorian orc, but a Kokto, and they are less interesting in many ways than Quiebrahuesos, eh? X3
