Half Orc

Half-Orcs are large, green and generally grumpy. They lack the snouts of full Orcs, but have large upper and lower tusks that extrude from their mouths. Half-Orc are usually either bald or have rough black hair. Half-orcs usually come about as a result of human women who have been taken captive by an orc hoard after a villiage raid. After they're born, the birth ususally kills the mother. The Orc hoards will then abandon them to die. Alaster Alabast seeks to keep all innocent races in Acana safe. After The Great War, he created parties meant to find and save these abondoned half-orc babies. The crimes of their fathers are not theirs. Unfortunatly, not every citizen of Acana feels the same.
