Orcs
Orcs are a hardy species who actually prefer living in less hospitable environments in an effort to challenge themselves. They are drawn to adventure. They originated from the Life Spirits that worshipped the Founder of Fire.
Orcs have slightly pointed ears and rough skin in colors ranging from green to grey. They mature at almost double the rate of Humans until they reach adulthood at 14, after which their speed of aging slows to about match that of humans. Although orcs' physiques and minds degrade much less as they age than that of other races, the moment it does degrade, when they reach about 55 years of age, their entire body shuts down almost immediately.
Their harsh living environments lead to spread out communities forming different cultures and lifestyles. Nomadic tribes, grand hordes, and heroic lineages are only a few examples.
