Orc

Sages believe the orcs to be the malevolent result of many years of tortureand magical experimentation at the hands of the Dark Powers, who desired away to lay waste to the elvish nations of Ayreon. The elves of ancient daysserved the Light and opposed the servants of the Dark Powers, striking oftenand deep into the midst of their enemies' territories to destroy whateverevil might lurk in the hidden places of the world. One of those servants ofthe dark - a few whisper the possibility it was a divinity - struck upon theidea of capturing a number of these servants of the Light, wreak foul magicson their hearts, minds and bodies, and set them loose upon their hated foes.Thus was the orc born.Orcs are a loathsome race of humanoids who delight in cruelty and inflictingpain. They are the largest of the goblin races, and like all goblins, theyare always fighting and killing, if not a common enemy like elves or dwarves,then each other. The whole of their culture and their technology is gearedtowards conflict. Even the chieftains of their tribes, loose communities oforcs allied by blood only, ascend to their places by dispatching (usually bybrute force) their rivals. Their numbers are many, but, thankfully, they areas unreliable as they are stupid, and their relentless internecine wars keepthem in check.As mentioned above, orcs are the largest of the goblin races, and regularlythey reach heights of two meters. They have large hands and feet, and whenan orc walks he ambles in a gait as an ape would, his crooked legs carryinghis thick torso with a slight wobble. Their heads are the twisted visages ofelves, with long, angular noses and other exaggerated features, their fleshwarted and diseased and scarred by years of battle. Their skin colors vary,but range from a pale white to a sickly yellow-green to a dark, almost blackbrown. Orcs have no sense of hygiene, going years without bathing, carryingwith them whatever filth and blood adheres to their bodies.+Orcs are able to see in the dark with infravision.Orcs regenerate movement faster than other races.+Orcs are resistant to sound and disease but vulnerable to lightand psionics.+Raceweapon: polearm
