Orcs are a race of savage humanoids with stooped postures, piggish faces, and prominent teeth that resemble tusks. They stand between typically stand between 180 cm (5'11 ft) to 190 cm (6'2 ft), weighing from 80 kg (180 lbs) to 130 kg (280 lbs). Orcs gather in tribes and believe that the only way to expand their territories is through conquest, leading them to frequent conflicts against other humanoid races and orc tribes. Though they have been able to establish friendly relationship with other evil races. Because of their chaotic nature, orcs tend the fight among their own tribes, unless compelled to cooperate by a strong leader.
The orcs believe that they were created by the one-eye god Gruumsh, a war-like god that rules his pantheon through brute force. According to legend, when the gods of other races drew lots to determine where their followers could dwell they cheated Gruumsh and the orcs out of a lifing space and mocked him. In his anger, Gruumsh laid waste the world's mountains, hills and meadows, and declared that the orcs shall take the world that was cheated from them and slay the other races.
