Orcs ([ ɔrk ])

Perhaps we underestimated our Faustian brethren

— Lord Edvard, 348 RB

Orcs are the most common folk in the region of Eleanor, they are believed to have evolved from boars and pigs, likely given the gift of sentience from Fost. They are considered strong, steadfast, with a strong sense of nature and the environment.
The orcs of Eleanor are seen as strong in leadership and community, and are the standard for unity, yet in Olivia they are considered to be unintelligent due to specieist prejudices.
Their cultures are known to vary like all species. When referring to their genders, the gendered terms are Raghul [ 'ra.ɣʊl ] and ‘Olnisa [ ʔɒl'nɪ.sa ].

Basic Information

Anatomy

Orcs are humanoid in shape. Their ears are pointed at the top, their nose consists of two nasal passages that can often be found to pressed up on their face, and their teeth are their most prominent feature: an orc will tend to have larger and sharper lower canines. They are generally hairless apart from hair on the top of their heads and smaller hairs across their arms, legs, chest, back, and sometimes hands and feet. 
Their skin colour can vary wildly between darker shades in hotter climates and paler shades in colder climates. So far blue, yellow, green, grey, brown, and pale skin has been observed.

Orcish generations, alike humans, last around twenty to thirty years.
