Orcs

Often thought to be a race of their own, the orcs are a variant of elves. They are much stronger and much taller than elves. Their homeland is Paya, where they live savage tribal lives, but some wish to be more, often leaving Paya in favor of being mercenaries or smiths in other countries.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Orcs typically have any shade of green or grey skin, but, on the rare chances, their skin can be brown, reddish-brown, and greyish blue. These rare skin tones are considered birth defects and will contribute to being considered different, depending on the clan. They have low foreheads and large muscular bodies. Orcs often stand straight with confidence, but older orcs will have stooped postures.
Their ears are similar to elves' but resemble wolf ears. Orcs also have large lower canines, resembling boar tusks. Their hair is usually black, dark red, or dark blue.

Dietary Needs and Habits

Orcs are carnivores, which is why they are naturally good at hunting.

Additional Information

Social Structure

In Paya, orcs are divided into clans that they are born into. Each clan has a leader, which do the same role but are called different things depending on the clan or tribe. These leaders are called Lord General, Chief, or Chieftain.

While most orcs reside in Paya, some have felt the need to leave their savage ways in favor of more civil ways, often becoming mercenaries for hire and smiths.
