Kholyn Half Orcs
Orcs can sire or bear children with other humanoid races, among the Kholyn this is commonplace as the people of the steppes mingle often and keep good relations with the other sapient peoples of Aman-ya. Half Orcs share some qualities with Orcs while also having attributes of their other parent's race.
