Half-Orc

it truly depends on which parent raises the child. A half-orc raised by their human parent will follow the gamut of human behavior and may be a little sullen or angry about their orcish blood if they were mistreated growing up. A half-orc raised by their orcish parent may have been treated as a runt because orcs are typically larger and stronger than half-orcs. They are proud warriors and often serve in the military where race is meaningless to the officers as long as people perform their duty. Half-orcs get along best with Half-elves who understand what half-orcs go through by being rejected by both societies. Depending on if the half-orc can pass for human, about 20% can, they may get along well with halflings and humans. Because of racial prejudices, Half-orcs rarely get along well with dwarves and elves who have often had to repel orc attacks both above and below ground.
The Longtooths are the exception to the normal discrimination that takes place against half-orcs. Longtooths are given respect due to their allegiance to Bloodyjaw. Even dwarves give grudging respect to the longtooths who serve the country with honor.
