Orcs
The Orcs are the most widespread race in Nainoxia, being found in every continent, even the island of Ulathian. Some scholars even theorize that this means that the Orcs are a more ancient race than otherwise though, although counterarguments are made supporting that since they live in the higher parts of the underdark as well as the surface, it is likely that they just spread very fast because of their constantly fighting nature. The Orcs are with few exceptions very aggressive, and will attack and raid settlements if they are not kept busy with infighting within the clan.
The Orcs are classified as Greenskins as well as some Goblins. The clans worshiping Gruumsh are the more well-known around the empire, and by far the most common ones to be encountered, as the clans of Luthror are forced to retreat into the underdark. The clans worshiping Gruumsh utilize Goblins as forced labor, disposable soldiers or sometimes source of entertainment. In contrast, the clans worshiping Luthror are largely unknown to the world, as they are always in conflict with the Orcs of Gruumsh, and that is not an environment that many scholars want to spend resources investigating.
