Overview
Though they are now mostly accepted amongst other races, Half-Orcs have gone through a lot to get where they are. They are still the race with the highest population in criminal lifestyles, as that was what they turned to over the prosecution at living a normal life. The large amount of growth happening in
The Maelstrom Isles grants a great deal of honest and dishonest work, and Half-Orcs have integrated well with both.

Appearance
- Half-Orcs are usually taller and bulkier than the average human standing at an average of just under six feet.
- Half-Orc hair has a dark tone with mostly browns and blacks that turns slate gray or stark white with age.
- Half-Orc skin varys by their Orcish parentage. Orcs come in a variety of colors such as shades of gray, tan, and green.
- Most often Half-Orcs inherit the slitted pupil and color of Orcish eyes. Orc eyes range from common browns and greens to yellows and reds.
- Another common gene Half-Orcs inherit from their Orcish parents is a jutting jaw and tusks that protrude above the lip. Some Half-Orcs living among other races file down their tusks as a way to appear less threatening, though this is looked down upon by those hailing from strongholds.
Homelands
- Half-Orcs don't really have a place to call home, rarely are they accepted by either of their parentage, they live where their situation puts them among the other races of the world.
- For a time during and after The War of Domination, Half-Orcs were banished from towns and villages. Those banished would form strongholds and would invite others who had been banished. Now there are many of these strongholds scattered across the lands, full of Half-Orcs.
Religion
While those living among other races believe what they want, The Half-Orcs who established strongholds believe in
Kalagar the Champion, one of their own who ascended to Godhood and watches over them.
