Half-Orc

"Whether united under the leadership of a mighty warlock or having fought to a standstill after years of conflict, orc and human tribes sometimes form alliances, joining forces into a larger horde to the terror of civilized lands nearby. When these alliances are sealed by marriages, half-orcs are born. Some half-orcs rise to become proud chiefs of orc tribes, their human blood giving them an edge over their full-blooded orc rivals. Some venture into the world to prove their worth among humans and other more civilized races. Many of these become adventurers, achieving greatness for their mighty deeds and notoriety for their barbaric customs and savage fury."

Half-Orcs in Aneirys were originally the unfortunate result of some pretty "heavy" things that happened during the initial founding of the Kingdom of Acarius . If you wish to know more, speak to the DM - but know that it will be a topic that may have emotional triggers and stress responses. You have been warned.
If you wish to play a half-orc, know that it has been over one-thousand years since those events, and that you absolutely do not need to include them in your own story.
