Orc
One of the Prime Races, the orcs were created by Amajal . He instilled within them a deep love of the oceans and adventure while giving them the fierceness of the storm. These gifts made them some of the fiercest sailors throughout Resa. All orcs will one day heed 'The Call,' an overwhelming sense of adventure and wanderlust seen as a rite of passage. This led them to live their lives upon the oceans in large fleets of sailing ships so as to always be near the next adventure. Even those that haven't heard the call live within coastal towns across Resa.
When The Sundering shook the earth and displaced the oceans, many orc fleets were lost. As the waters settled many orcs moved to explore the new oceans and shorelines lending hands where they could. Other orcs started to follow a 'survival of the fittest' mentality and took up piracy. No matter how they took up 'The Call,' every orc seeks the spoils of adventure, typically in the form of gold. Many show off their successful adventures in the form of jewellery, piercings, or fake golden tusks.
