Orcs

Orcs are an aggressive, beast-like race of humanoids with variants living in most remote regions of the world. Orcs generally have grey or green skin and rough black hair. They have squashed faces and large tusks protruding up from their lower jaw. Orcs are known for their strength and their ferocity, and most civilized races view them as monsters due to their violent tendencies and their history of raiding and pillaging.  

Sand Sea Orcs

The orcs of the Sand Sea are a tribal and nomadic people. They travel around the desert hunting and raiding other tribes of orcs or lizardfolk for resources. The orcs are devout worshipers of Gruumsh, the god of orcs.
