Orcs

Orcs are descendants of the Archborn, influenced heavily by Gruumsh and his actions. They vary wildly in culture and appearance. Below, you'll find information about various orc cultures.

Erelhei Orcs
These orcs live throughout the Erelhei Dominions. There are hundreds of tribes and varying sub-cultures but they are all similar when compared to other major orc cultures in Kandalur. The Erelhei Orcs live in a dangerous landscape and out of necessity have become a violent culture. They've had to fight for a home for thousands of years. Giants from the Forgotten Lands and drow from the Dominions constantly pose a threat to their way of life.

Appearance
Erelhei Orcs range in skin color from browns to greens to black. Two lower teeth protrude a few inches like tusks. Most of the orcs lead very physical lives, leaving them with a muscular physique.

Alheim Orc
Far to the north of Alheim, amidst the frozen tundras the Alheim Orcs make their home. These are a hardy people, constantly battling the winds of winter. They live a relatively peaceful life, inhabiting one of the harshest climates in Kandalur. Trade with the people and dwarves of Alheim is key to their survival.

Appearance
These orcs range in skin color from shades of gray to shades of white. They have deep, dark-colored eyes like endless pools of black. Two lower teeth protrude a few inches like tusks.

Broken Stone Orc
The Broken Stone tribe has lived on for generations. The pendulum swings between violence and peace depending on the lands around them and their current leader. Rahnduk, the current leader of the tribe is extremely violent towards any outside the tribe. Led by the warlord, this tribe fights for a home in Kandalur.
