Orcs

Orcs are a species of powerful humanoids native to Exorsia.
Orcs can be found thriving in multicultural settlements all across Exorsia. Unfortunately they often suffer prejudice due to the stereotype that they are mindless and violent brutes, this attitude towards people or orcish heritage is especially common in Osirin where they have a history of Orcish invasions from Terrasmus.
These negative stereotypes largely stem from the Orc tribes of Terrasmus, a nomadic warrior people who live in small clans with a heavy emphasis on strength and warfairing. These Orcs are extremely xenophobic and one of the few cultures on Exorsia that believe that bloodlines are important, with the great warriors you're related to being a very important part of their society. These Orcs can be found waging wars for superiority over the plains of Terrasmus with Hobgoblin warbands and other Orc clans. These Orcs are strictly servants of the god Gruumsh (Ares), their Divine Patron.
