Ork
Like Trolls, but, yknow..
Not as immediately fucked by life.
Orks are the less-pointy option in the world of big, strong, intimidating motherfuckers. A little less scary and a lottle less stupid, orks have a slightly wider margin of potential in life. They're still not given a great platform by the upper class (lookin at you, elves), but they can get by with a lot more. At least if there's an unsolved crime the nearest ork isn't 100% guaranteed to get pinned for it. So long as there's a troll around. The two tend to go hand in hand for buddies and communities because of that, with some offshoots trying desperately to defy stereotypes. They're a bit more hit or miss with that than the trolls' attempts, and have some pretty level-minded political allies in the right places. Not that the humans and elves let them get away with much, in terms of positive cultural advancement. (Less jobs for orks means more jobs for not-orks, after all.)
Arguably more common to see in gangs and slums than trolls, if only because they can get around easier and a well-angled hood or mask can help them slink by out of date security. Still, the system isn't slanted in their favor, and their propensity towards crime and thus being profiled is more rather than less.
Occasionally you might run into an ork that knows Or'zet. It's not common, but after Dunkehlzan's Will was released and The Or’zet Codex was released to the public, a few tried to relearn the forgotten language and pass it back through families anew.
