Race Name: Orcs
Age Of the Race: As long as the elves and dwarves where on this land...
Full Description of the Race: An orc’s hair usually is black. It has pointy ears and reddish or dark eyes, and the skin greenish or grayish. They have fangs juicing a bit, and a more or less peculiar nose, a somewhat simian general feel. Orcs like wearing colors that many humans would consider unpleasant, such as blood red, mustard yellow, yellow-green, and deep purple. An adult male orc is a little over 6 feet tall and weighs about 210 pounds, a female is a bit smaller.
History Of the Race: It is one of the first races or so - the myths are imprecise, contradicting and biased. The Orcs are opposing the dwarves and the elves (and the humans) as long as the world, when it was said that the Creator Gods shared the earth....
When the Creators met, say the orcish shamans, the so-good ones took the best places... The Elven Creator, the woods.. The Dwarven Creator, the mountains, and so on, as the Human one choosed for humans to settle as they went. The Orcish creator, angry, striked the earth many times, taking the bad areas - dry steppes, no man lands, etc created, for the orcs... where they would multiply and one day overtake the races of light...
Creature of the Race: Orcs are fierce beings, aggressive and proud. They are warriors by culture, taking pride in physical valor and snobbing the 'feminine' arcane art. They have a certain light sensibility, but to a lesser degree than drow and other subterranean races
The orcs have a longstanding feud with both elves and dwarves, and are frequently enslaved by drow whenever caught. The feud is mutual. However, there is some tribes who took another path, and prefer a calmer life, even an handful of good individual exists.
