Half-Orc

Half-Orcs have a mixed perception on Illios, some pity them for their Orc blood, some despise them for it, and others are indifferent to it. Half-Orcs are able to obtain recognition in many fields after being on Illios for so long, however there are no formally recognized Orc lands, and no Orc, or Half-Orc, has found their way to nobility. While many Half-Orcs try to seperate themselves from the bloodlust their Orc race is known for, may suffer the consequences of the actions of full blooded Orcs who continue to raid and destroy villages and towns. There is a mercenary company in Gnormandy, The Tusks, which is largely Orc and Half-Orc, this mercenary company was founded when a human woman and Orc man were married, converting an Orc tribe into a mercenary company loyal to one of the cities in Gnormandy, and is one of the few ways full blooded Orcs are able to operate with respect.
Orcs can be found in the Wilds, in Aminara along the border with the Gilded Throat Mountain, and the border of Farengon and Gnormandy, the Orcs are believed to have originated from the Shadowfell, coming to Illios sometime during The Age of Arcanum.
