Orc

One of the older species of Mithlonde, and far more inclined to physical prowess than the others. An orc stands tall and broad, with dark, grey or black skin with texture like slate or granite. Their faces are square, often with tusks protruding from their lower jaws, and with straight black or dark red hair.
Often in conflict with each other and their neighbors, many orcish societies greatly value strength and often seek means to test themselves in combat. While fierce in battle, starting fights with their neighbors has drawn their ire and so orcish clans find themselves on the back foot, a cycle that gave rise to the predominate orcish philosophy of Karnskaap. Not all orcs enjoy this cycle of violence, of course, and they will often find themselves away from the strongholds, and often make there way to somewhere like Dunlorn where, unlike many other nations, they are welcomed without question.
