The Orcs of Terra Nova

The Orcs! Orcs are savage and verminous humanoids, commonly found in cold or mountainous regions. Aggressive and territorial, Orcs possess amazing fecundity and are able to quickly overrun large areas. The only check on their numbers is their natural aversion for warmth and sunlight, and their culture of violence.

Appearance: Orcs resemble primitive, porcine humanoids, with thick rubbery skin and bristle-like hair. Orcs are slope-headed and snouted, with underdeveloped eyes and boar’s tusks. They are stooped and bow legged, with long muscular arms.

Physiology: All Orcs are male, though under certain conditions they are able to breed with each other and females of related species. This bizarre ability, coupled with their rapid reproduction rate has lead to the development of several prominent sub-species and half breeds.

Society: Orcs form small tribes, lead by a single dominant Orc and his lieutenants - often assisted by a handful of mystics or shamans. Tribal groups are chaotic and unstable, and few persist for any significant length of time. Orcs consider all other life forms to be inferior, and especially despise Elves and Dwarves. Though they speak the tongue of Goblins, they are not friendly with goblinoids, and frequently war with them. Orcs do accept the company of Ogres and evil humans.

Religion: Orcs are superstitious and cowardly, and they rely on shamans or witch doctors to guide them in spiritual matters. Many Orc mythologies claim that their race is descended from Pa Kur, the human deity of war. Even more popular than the Blood God, is Gor Gromar, a unique Orcish deity of gluttony, wrath, and cannibalism.

Breeds: Orc breeds or sub-species include human/orc hybrids (Half Orcs), orc/ogre hybrids (Ogrillons), and Deep Orcs (Orogs). Breeds are generally looked on with derision by pure Orcs, even though they are often hardier and more intelligent.

Orge Fist Tribe

Ogre Fist: The Orcs of the Ogre's Fist are the largest tribe of Orcs in the Southlands. Their leader is the Half Orc Felldrax, who serves Nazzarin of Helgazod. Felldrax is a cunning and merciless commander, and under his leadership the Ogre’s Fist has prospered and multiplied. The tribe makes its lair in the pass known as the Orcgate.
