Orcs
With their huge, muscular forms, Orcs are an imposing sight to many other races. Typically being over 6 feet tall and weighing between 230 and 280 pounds, the average Orc is nothing but a mass of sheer muscle. Their tribal lifestyle over the ages has made them hardy and rugged, with their forms perfectly suited for the tough wilds of the The Orcish Tribelands.
Orcs are easily identified by their skin-tones and build. Every shade of green can be found, alongside browns and greys. With strong, jutting lower jaws and extended canines that resemble boar tusks, Orcs are often mistaken as simple, dumb brutes. Their eyes can be blue, green and brown, but also yellow and reds have been found in rarer, more-isolated societies. They also seem to have some form of basic darkvision, being able to see better in low-light conditions than other races. Thick, coarse hair covers their forms, and can be found coming from their head. Female Orcs end to keep this hair for all their lives, but Males often lose it around the middle of their life. Some Male Orcs can grow facial hair, but this is rare and tends to happen in old age.
With their brutal lifestyle, Orcs rarely reach old age. Those that can survive the rugged landscape typically live to about 50 years of age. Orcs tend to reach maturity be the age of 12. Female Orcs tend to be more slender than their male counterparts, but they are definitely not weaker, and are more than capable of matching or even exceeding the strength of the Males.

Origins of the Orcs
The Orcish belief is in the The Great Tribe, and it is in this that Orcs go to when they discuss how they came to be. According to their belief, the great Chief of the Gods, Gruumsh, slept for an eternity. When he awoke, it was with such fury that he created all the other Greenskin Gods and all of the Orcs. Alongside this, the Goddess Mazoga created all the lands upon Varda for the Greenskin' to live. Now known as The Orcish Tribelands, the Orcs deem this a holy land and have lived there for generations.Finding Orcs in the World of Varda
Orcs can be found in all of the wild places of the wild, but it is the The Orcish Tribelands where you will find them most. Living amongst other Greenskin races such as Goblins, Hobgoblins and Bugbear, the Orcs claim this land and it is all but a country in name. Orcs are also excellent mercenaries, so have travelled far and wide, being found in small numbers in a wide range of other Kingdoms and Empires.
