Uràr Ukâk

Known as Black Orc in the Merchant Tongue.

"It is hard to imagine that anything so vile and so evil could be made worse, but such is the power of magic ." - Balan, Kalamaran wizard and adventurer

Physiology

Standing six feet high and weighing an average of 250 pounds with skin the color of ebony, the black ore, or great ore, is worthy of its name. With rippling muscles and a stare chat lacks any friendly emotions, the black ores sit at the top of the breeds and brook no equals.
Taking the best of ore and human blood, black ores fear nothing and make fearsome opponents. They do not reproduce sexually, as do common ores, but are spawned through magic, their numbers are always fewer and they are becoming something of a rariry and a valued asset.
Like all ores they are possessed of great physical strength, but they also have a hardiness and stamina to rival that of dwarves. Their enhanced stamina and in-bred tolerance of even the brighrest sunlight allows them to run continuously for many days at a constant speed of 6 miles an hour without need for rest. Few other races can match this awesome display of endurance.
As a result of their unnatural creation, fust ar rhe hands ofThe Creator of Strife, and secondly through their unique method of 'binh', black ores are immune to all diseases and poisons commonly found on Tellene. Magical venoms and disease (such as mummy ror or lycanthropy) still affect them as they would any other race, although they are more resistant to them. Black ores are blessed with intellect as high as any of the major civilized races, though they are much surlier than the other ore sub-breeds. Annoy one and he will tear you limb from limb, but with enough intelligence ·ro keep you alive while he is doing s o . Such inrellect, combined with their natural psychological makeup, makes them fearsome opponenrs more than capable of marching human generals for ingenuity on the field of battle.
Black ores are only found in the male sex and are sterile. No reason is known for this strange phenomenon, but it is likely that the magic thar spawns them has this undesirable side effect

Psychology

Black ores do not like taking orders and deeply resent any being powerful enough to force them to do so. Naturally, they also have a healthy respect (some may say fear) for anything so puwerful. Even these orcs possess an element of the cowardly rrait found. in all member of their race and fear facing up to a stronger opponent.
Because of their unique way of "breeding," black ores do not create emire tribes of black occ srock. Wben found in ore tribes they are always in positions ofleadership, whether it be as chieftain, tribal champion, or leader of a warband. Most rake over a tribe by combat and few are toppled by non-black ores. A small few have founded tribes by splitting off from a larger tribe with foUowers, but a black ore with such force of personality is an oddiry indeed.
Fearsome tempers reside in the hearts of these beasts and subordinates who fail to follow orders can eiqiect a quick, if somewhat messy, death. This temper gives them strength of purpose in combat and such is their dedication to their cause that none has ever been taken alive.
Of aU the sub-breeds, the black ores are the most violent and cruel. Torment of prisoners is seen as a right and black orcs often hold impromptu competitions to see who can cause a captive the most torment for the longest time before it dies. A captive in such a situation may lasr for many days in agonizing pain before the sweet embrace of death claims him.
