Half Orc

Half-orcs carry both human and orc heritage, and many are judged before they speak. In the Hanging Cliffs, some live near the Oak-Scream clans; others choose the road, the shield wall, or the border camps around Icemire.

Their strength is obvious, but their real value is endurance. Half-orcs often learn to move between groups that distrust each other, reading danger before it becomes open violence.

Many become guards, hunters, or mercenaries. The best of them are remembered not for savagery, but for standing firm when no one else wanted the burden.
