Orc

"'We're Orcs! We survived against the world, we can survive again!'""-Ungor the Undesired"Orcs are one of the many races that inhabit the world of Voruseh, and are quite common. They can mostly be found in Astorien, particularly as nomads or at their settlements in Gorn, and are known for being brutal in battle and for their rich yet unnapreciated culture.

Biology
Orcs are found all across Astorien. Their skin is usually green, grey or purple, and Half-Orcs tend to have lighter skin than their pureblood descendants. Their hair is usually black. Their eyes are usually brown, black, hazel, green or blue, but other rare variations may appear. Their ears are pointy, their jaws are proeminent and their build is muscular.

Orcs usually have a lifespan of only 40 years, due to the harsh environments they inhabit and the persecution they suffer.

Culture
The Orcish culture is mainly tribal, and they're usually nomadic, with their only fixed city being Oruk Vaz in Gorn. They're fearsome warriors and great shamans. They're mostly followers of The Pantheon, with a few demon cultists.

Orcs inhabit the deserts, plains and forests. Those who are away from a tribe may turn to crime to survive, mainly as mercenaries, bandits and slave traders, but there's a great number of Orcs who choose to be great adventurers, mostly as Warriors, Barbarians or Druids.

Racial Relations
Other races tend to dislike Orcs, which has led them to return the favor. They're particularly distrustful of Dwarves, their ancient enemies, and the Galadian Empire has destroyed Elf-Orc relationships forever.

Subraces and Hybrids
There's only one Orc variation, but Half-Orcs are quite common.
