Orc

Orcs are a race of savage humanoids most renowned for their hatred of civilization, ceaseless raiding and violent attitude.
Orcs are believed to be native to the Realm and other continents outside it.
== History ==
Some translated tablets found in ancient ruins in the south implicate Orcs to be the downfall of their civilization. Other tablets claim the orcs to be a creation alchemists, though this was referring only to mud orcs. Many modern scholars have taken this to mean all orcs were originally the creation of humans despite historical evidence implying contrary. 
Originally the orcs were a shamanistic people cultivating a clan based society based on war and conquest, some of these clans culminated into large Empires. At least two of the four types of Orcs are believed to have originated from The Realm, Red Orcs and Mud Orcs. Green Orcs on the other hand are more recent immigrants to the region. Having originally arrived as sporadic raiding parties over the course of several thousand years. Though most of these raiding parties left the region after sacking it. 
The results of these raids often enough were that dozens if not hundreds of half-orcs would be born due to the impregnation of their non-orc mothers. Usually these bastard child abominations would be killed upon birth or otherwise left to fend for themselves. 
Some cases have reported mothers keeping the children and hiding them from others or if they are left to fend for themselves then being adopted and raised by rogue orcs, left behind after their raiding party had left or otherwise raised by other nearby species such as trolls or Minotaurs. If an orc raiding party occupied a settlement long enough to witness the birth of their half orc rape babies or otherwise had it occur with a captured slave they had brought with them as a trophy they would often consider the orc to be one of their own, though this is not always the case. 
Still, half orc clans and communities could sometimes grow into the hundreds and persist for decades after the original orc raiding party had left the region. 
It wasn't until the mid -1600s CY when the first reports began of orcs permentally settling in the Realm. These attempts at coloniziation were vigorously fought against by humans over the next several hundred years and lead to Orcs Clans beginning to make alliances with other beast races such as Minotaurs, Ogres and Trolls. 
Looking for a permanent homeland, armies of these groups often attempted invasions of Wood Elf territory. Participating in bloody campaigns that lasted for years at a time. Some have even argued that if not for the work of Orcs and other inhuman beasts that the elves would never had submitted to the domain of man.
