Orc

Orcs are a creature in Lost Ages. They are civilised and and their lands are found in the eastern forests. Strength is a very important part of their culture and those strongest fair better. Their strength and resilience what makes them notorious to other races. They usually favour melee weapons in combat and are often depicted with war-axes. They originate from the forest regions in the east.

Biology
Orcs are a large muscular race who stand at around 6 feet tall. Their skin colour is a dull green.

Leadership
In the orc stronghold the leader is determined on strength. The leader is normally respected by his people however they can be challenged for their leadership in the form of a fight. Their pride and status depends on this challenge. There has been deaths in the fights but the loser will be at the mercy of their opponents. Losers are commonly exiled but have been known to be killed. Defeated fighters may also leave the village by choice due to their lost respect.

War of the Races
At the start of the war of the races the Orcs took large amounts of land from the elves but mainly the gnomes, mainly due to their strength and skill with melee weapons. As they took gnomish lands there was a lot of unnecessary slaughter of citizens which has caused deep lying hatred between the races. As the war went off they lost large amounts of it to the elves and their skill with magic.
