Orcs

A race of hardy humanoids with a natural inclination towards war and bloodshed. Despite their innate aggressiveness they still posses moderate intelligence; they live in tribal communities, have their own language and some are even able to use magic. Despite this however, all attempts to peacefully contact Orcs have been in vain.

It is theorised that Orcs came from another plane of existence after looting, raping and pillaging the entirety of it due to the lack of history relating to Orcs. Other researchers however argue that they traveled from the Frozen Wastes to escape a resurgence of Giants.

Half Orcs
Despite their planar differences Orcs still possess an anatomy that is compatible with Humans and Goliaths. Although most children are born from non-consentual unions months before the children are often born with intelligence to match their non-orc parents. Half Orc children can be seen as either a gift to a tribe due to their intelligence or a curse due to their racial impurity.

Like most Human-hybrids Half-Orcs are unable to reproduce.
