Basic Information
Ecology and Habitats
They thrive in moderate temperatures, but can adapt to really cold environments.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Orcs are omnivores, but mostly eat meat. They prefer fish, especially because their villages can be found near bodies of water abundant in them. They’re one of the few races found on Mirthae that are able to eat any kind of raw meat without getting sick, being immune to most, if not all the diseases that usually come from food poisoning.
Behaviour
Behaviour varies a lot, but the common underlying factor is that they tend to behave similar to the foxes they’re spiritually bonded with. Trauma does affect this, and may cause orcs to develop behaviours opposite to their foxes depending on the situation.
Additional Information
Social Structure
Social structure differs from settlement to settlement, though as they all stemmed from one large settlement they tend to follow a similar structure that views the eldest of society to be more wise. Those with a strong spiritual connection to their foxes are also viewed more favourably.
Facial characteristics
They tend to have stronger features, being what most people would consider “masculine”. They also have large tusks.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
They don’t have much in terms of magical abilities, but they make up for it with their supernatural sensory abilities and strength. They’re able to hear whispering clearly from a mile away and can focus their vision in like a telescope, being able to clearly see dragons on top of mountains.
Symbiotic and Parasitic organisms
It’s contested what purpose orcs have being bonded with foxes from birth, but they do have a few benefits. They can share energy, magical abilities, injuries, talk with each other telepathically regardless of distance, and even sense where each other are.
Civilization and Culture
History
There’s no records whatsoever of when and where orcs came into existence. The earliest records of orckind describe a massive ancient society that used to live with the ice dragons in West Jyalb before many migrated towards East Jyalb to avoid the high elves.
Since then they’ve mostly kept to themselves, forming casual alliances with centaurs, but still largely isolating themselves from outsiders.
