Orc

To their enemies, Orcs are brutal and fearsome opponents, without parallel in their ferocity and cunning. To their allies, they are noble and honorable, following the traditions of the time-honoured past. They have an august shamanistic tradition cultivating a mighty tribal society that is centered around survival, regulating themselves through ritualized combat and personal honor.
