Orc/Ork

Strong and Aggressive Orcs respect two things: Strength and Wisdom. For strength without direction is wasted. Whilst their instincts often drive them to imprudent behaviour, the wisdom of the shamans direct and harness them. Never found in high society orcs are (in)famous for their strength of character and their crafts. Wizards and Clerics are unheard of but druids and sorcerers are the extent of magic within their society.

Basic Information

Anatomy

One unusual trait is the variance of their skin colour, scholars have speculated that their skin colour is an adaptation early on in their lives to help them better survive their environments. Those who live in the sun have darker complexions, those who live in the mountains and snow-lands have grey and sometimes white skin with those who live in the forest having shades of green and brown.
## Socialised Deficiency Physiological Adaptation Syndrome   A very old mutation from humankind an age ago, orcs take the social nature and adaptability of humans to another height in that they make up(physical and intellectual) will change based on their environment. This is mostly manifested when a tribe goes without a member of their ruling cast for too long, they begin to lose mental fortitude in an attempt to increase their physical prowess as a means of survival. This is assumed to be a one-way transformation as there have been no recorded cases of the process being reverted.
