Orc

Orcs are large with broad bodies. A ridged brow crowned by bushy eyebrows conceals small, squinting eyes. Their nose is snout-like, and their mouths are large, with crooked fangs. They generally have dark skin, which emanates a rancid odor. Although some have dabbled in the mystical arts due to a great thirst for power, most orcs are warriors. Brutal combat is the natural call that stirs in the heart of an orc. Long ago, as if steered by a dark hand, the brutal orc armies once flooded over into the nations of good, carving a permanent image of orcish violence into the minds of the people. Although controlled by a great mage then, orcs today still raid the civilizations of Alora, albeit on a small scale. Orcs tend to use any advantage they can get; they fight dirty, do not follow any rules of war, and enjoy setting ambushes. Orcs have no use for politics and diplomacy; they oppress their underlings and rule by fear alone. Orcs that try to live outside their territory usually find themselves scorned, and constantly fighting for a place in society.
