Orcs

The Warriors

Orcs are the descendants of elves that are thought to have gotten influenced by one of the Ynue, this caused them to transform into stronger, bigger versions of elves. They live in the mountains, where they have a tribal warrior society, among orcs, it is considered a great personal flaw to lack strength, and they above all, value strength and skill in battle.

Appearance

They have a brownish-green skin color, large teeth, and strong muscular bodies, their hair is nearly always black. They wear the skins of whatever beasts they have managed to slay and will often wear jewellery made from teeth. Orcs have very large canines, and wearing the tooth of another is seen as a great sign of respect. This is often done to commemorate a fallen parent, lover, or comrade in arms.

Society

They live in tribes, one tribe may rule a number of villages, the stronger and more respected a chief, the further his reach may go. Any ambitious warrior may challenge the chief, in order to claim the title of chief for himself, this is always a fight to the death. Sometimes someone conquers a village from a chief, not killing the chief, and in orc law, any who rules a village may call himself chief, and if a chief loses all his villages, he is no longer allowed to claim the title, since no orc will follow the weak.

Courting Practices

Orc women are notoriously stubborn and will only accept the affection of a man who is physically stronger than her, to orc women, the sight of their man being defeated is just as unattractive as him fleeing from battle, and therefore orc women will always go for strong men. The true way to the heart of an orc woman is by beating up one of your romantic rivals in her presence, however, once an orc woman has committed to a man, she will not stand for him being humiliated, as this would also be humiliating for her, and she will back him up, and it should be mentioned, that orc women are still about as strong, and sometimes stronger than the average human male.
