Orcs

Orcs are an interesting people they, like some of the other folk of Khinarzi, did not have a creator god but were born of the weave and so are considered children of the World Soul of Khinarzi. Many Orcs find they have a natural aptitude for magic connected to nature and the plane itself, and since the end of the Dawn Era, an increased aptitude for magic connected to the stars and the Goddess Luna. 
While this does not mean every Orc will be a druid or cleric, what it does mean is often the Orcs native to Neoko will often have more natural or divine spells whereas Mystrian Orcs often show the gift of Mistwalking at a young age.
It is unclear why Orcs have a more innate connection to these sources of power than other folk considered children of the World Soul with the notable exception of the Molban peoples connection to Khinarzi. Some believe that during the first Shadowmarch that ended the Dawn Era, the Orcish champions of that age earned the respect of the World Soul ad the Goddess Luna, being deemed a people worthy of Championing these powers. It is known Luna guided the orcish hero Kia, to found the Kingdom of Mystria.
These connection however do mean Orcs have no capacity for evil. They are still given to free will like any other people on the plane. Some Orcs can choose to focus on other things instead of a life devoted to the plane or a church. Some Orcs will fall to the Song of Discord just like every other folk in Khinarzi, leaving the Five Kingdoms to wander into the Shadowlands, and swear fealty to the Dark Lord.
