Orc

A wild and bloodthirsty people, are the orcs. They can be found all over Ardunor, although their destructive and cruel nature usually means they band together in tribes in the wilderness, rather than integrating with the rest of society.
Orcs are powerful, and dangerous, but not always the brightest. The best solution to any problem is to smash its skull in. There’s not much cohesion between the various tribes. Each tribe worships its own orc deities, or some even worship the Megacosm.

Orc Origins

Orc tribes can be found all over the continent. Where an orc comes from says a lot about what they’re good at, or what they value. An orc from the jungles of the Scythe, for example, likely behaves much differently than an orc from the dunes. There are, of course, some orcs who have chosen to make their lives within the cities, and they must go through great lengths to overcome orc prejudices.

Half-orc

No one really wants to think about where half-orcs come from, and yet there are plenty of these people all over Ardunor. They share the flexibility and (relative) intelligence of their human ancestors with the strength and ferocity of their orc side. Half-orcs can be found anywhere where there are humans or orcs, but are often shunned by both.

Scythian Orc

The jungles of the Scythe are teeming with dangerous wildlife and man eating plants. Reptiles the size of houses roam the lands, and there are always active volcanoes. Orcs from these lands must always be vigilant, expecting the worst and then smashing its skull in when it appears. The mightiest of these orcs are said to be capable of wrestling the gigantic reptiles.
