Orcs
Orcs are the most physically imposing of the demititan races. Ranging between 7' and 9' tall, orcs are broad shouldered and muscular. They live mostly in the hills and mountains around the [Jasilyan_Sea]. Orcs shun metalworking, but are master leatherworkers and wood carvers. They use basic weapons - mostly clubs, spears, and axes made of wood, bone, and shale - and are proficient hunters.
There are two distinct groups of orcs, known simply as the Northern Orcs and the Southern Orcs. Contrary to popular belief, orc societies are not tribal. Instead, both groups have barter societies centered on extended family groups.
Southern Orcs are peripatetic nomads. Travelling family groups trade their skills and labor in exchange for goods and food with families that have settled game territories. The Southern Orcs also travel south occassionally to hunt in the [Great Ape] regions, often coming into conflict with the [Qird] as a result.
Northern Orcs are less itinerate than their southern cousins, preferring to gather their extended families into villages. Each family in the village will have their own section, and the entire village is surrounded by fortified wooden walls. Residences are communal, with up to one hundred individuals living in the same, massive dwelling. Northern Orc villages trade and barter with other villages and with visiting groups of Southern Orcs.
All orcs hate humans and vargren and will not tolerate incursions into their territories.
