Half-Orc

Half-orcs are the result of a union between an orc and a member of another humanoid species. Inter-species unions with orcs are legally banned and culturally discouraged almost everywhere but acts of sexual violence or secret relationships occasionally create half-orcs.

Half-orcs are rare and represent an abomination to Orcs due to their greatly diminished size and strength when mixed with another race. Orcs kill half-orcs on sight in order to maintain purity of blood. Half-orcs also tend to be mistrusted and disliked by other races. Half-orc lives are nasty, brutish, and short, marred by self-hatred, bitterness, and a lack of belonging. For the rare few who are able to find some form of peace, life can be very rewarding. Their status as outcasts make them more likely to appear as adventurers than other, more settled, races.

Most Half Orcs are of average height with light green or grey skin.
