Commentary & Description
Orcs are long-armed humanoids that appear very similar to Goblins, though with shorter legs. They are more stupid than their cousins but have slightly more strength. The thick pocked and warted skin of an orc is bristled in hair ranging from gray to medium brown, and is frequently mottled in patches of other colors of hair. Orcs have greasy black hair, narrow, beady eyes, and a baboon-like nose above a mouth full of sharp and tusked canines. They wear human-style armor and clothing when they can, but are perfectly comfortable in skins and rough woolen garments.

Though found primarily in Interior Phaeree, orcs are also likely to be found in the subterranean realms and the exterior world as well. Although rarely encountered on Aerth, such meetings are usually near some Subterranean opening whence they have issued to raid the outer world. Possessing only Limited Heka use and powers, the orcs make up in numbers what they lack in other capacities. Orcs are communal, troop, and frequently travel in hordes like their goblin brethren. Large groups often (60% chance) include shamans or witch doctors with Heka use similar to humans.
