Orc
The Orc tribes of Ethrea roam the lands, calling no place their home in particular they rather assume that where they are and where their clan resides their home. It is not uncommon though that Orcs stay at certain locations, such as good hunting grounds and natural shelters or allied villages for an extended period of time. Most commonly though they tend to a nomadic life style, pillaging farms or small villages on their ways or making trade if they are being approached appropriately.
Orcs put their Clan before anything and to ensure its survival they put their lives on the line willingly. In the days of the deities, the were created by Gruumsh, a god of destruction who taught his creation to be aggressive and fighters. With Gruumsh being closed off behind the divine gate, as all deities were, a lot of the Orcs living on Ethrea lost faith in his superiority and adopted their new lifestyle, seeking their elders or their strongest members for guidance to ensure their survival. As they were an aggressive fighting force for Gruumsh during the Divine wars and their fighting style was feared but also reckless, their numbers after the creation of the divine gate were diminished.
Orcs are not evil as such as is the common belief, though they undeniably have feral blood and deep, strong emotions and a deeply seeded pride that can have their cage rattled rather quickly if approached with ignorance. This usually does not end well for the cage rattler.
