Orcs

Feral, proud, and forever listening for the call to battle, the orcs of Qendath have proved themselves time and time again to be a formidable race whose might is rivaled by few if any. Heralding from the dry deserts of northern Qendath, orcs have always been in a menace to the races of the southern half of the continent, almost constantly raiding the green midlands. In years past, orcs have mainly operated under the banner of hundreds of separate warlords, though now for the first time ever the green-skinned brutes of the north have united under a single warchief.

All orcs are graced with rough leathery green skin, and pitch black hair that greys with age. Yet green skin isn’t the only way to spot an orc. On their bottom jaw, orcs possess two large canines that jut out slightly. Orcs also have snubbed noses, and yellow eyes which allow minor for minor nightvision. Orcs, both male and female, stand around 6’4 on average, standing tall over humans and elves, yet still shorter than trolls. By and large, orcs are a savage bunch who are quick to anger and slow to learn. That said, orcs who've lived away from the Qendath have been known to adopt a more civilised character in order to properly blend in with human, elven, and less commonly dwarf societies. Because of this it is unfair to immediately assume that all orcs are wild like animals, despite the large majority conforming to this stereotype.

Orcs normally live as long as humans, dying at around 80 years of age.
