Half-Orc

Orcs in the world of Etharis exist only as villains in fairy tales to scare naughty children. They were described as violent brutes who lived only to inflict mayhem on others. Nevertheless, orcs roamed Etharis even before the dwarves and the elves, and their description in these fairy tales preserves a sinister truth. No one knows why the orcs disappeared from Etharis en masse, except that the last of them were seen in Valika. However, all know the ominous reminder of their dark and violent past. The half-orcs of Etharis are tall, daunting and fierce warriors. Some say they are the result of breeding between early human tribes and the last of the orcs. Others that they are the creation of a lost war god who wanted to immortalise his own image. Half-orcs combine the best out of their two parts: the formidable resilience of orcs, and the adaptability of humans.

Things to Note:

• Half-orcs are are most often seen in the frozen north among the Valikan Clans .
• Most people regard a half-orc with fear more than anything else.
