Category:Orcs

"Orc physiology is terrifying, demonstrating inhuman degrees of resilience to the point where they can withstand seemingly fatal wounds with little long-term consequences. Orcs who have been witnessed suffering fatal wounds in the midst of battle have been observed appearing again several days later, larger and stronger than they were before their injuries with no signs of those wounds save for superficial scarring"

- Al'Jibran on the biology of Orcs



At a Glance
The cousins to Goblins and Hobgoblins, the green-skinned and red-blooded Orcs are so robust that they can withstand tremendous punishment. They feel little pain, evne from the most grievous of wounds, enabling them to fight on whilst horrifically injured and even for a short while after being technically dead. Divided into warbands by the Shadar-Kai, Orcs have spent much of their history fighting amongst themselves, waging brutal conflicts with only the strongest surviving. It is reasonable to believe that if Orcs were to band together under a single leader who could unite the warring tribes, Orcs would truly crush all opposition.
