Half-orc Ethnicity in Vestra | World Anvil

Half-orc

Appearance

The deep blue skin and pronounced tusks clearly displace their Orcish heritage. The human side is generally harder to determine, but most often results in changes to hair and eye colors.

Some half-orcs rise to become proud chiefs of orc tribes, their human blood giving them an edge over their full-blooded orc rivals. Some venture into the world to prove their worth among humans and other more civilized races. Many of these become adventurers, achieving greatness for their mighty deeds and notoriety for their barbaric customs and savage fury.
