**Appearance:** Orcs are more heavily muscled than humans, and very slightly taller on average. Their skin tends to have a green tint, though gray-, red- and charcoal-complexioned subraces are known. Their hair is stringy and lank, and is typically a few shades darker than their skin. Orcs' eyes glow red in the dark, and they have protruding tusks on both upper and lower jaws. Their features have a bestial cast, with lower foreheads and broader jaws than humans'.
**Known Customs:** Orcish society is brutal and unforgiving. War is the primary purpose of life; a male who cannot fight is worthless, unless he is the rare individual who possesses the talents of a shaman. Females are treated as chattel, valuable only for breeding and menial tasks. Children are the possessions of their fathers, and are worth nothing until they are ready to begin combat training. The strongest and most ruthless rise to great power, and measure their might by the number of soldiers and slaves they command. Orcs often capture weaker creatures as slaves or hostages, and serve more powerful ones in turn.
**Known Range:** Any temperate wilderness or half-civilized area; temperate hills and mountains, including the Irontooth Mountains and Cathilcarn; Ang'arta.
