Orcs

Orcs are a race that mainly inhabits the Barberious Wilds but small settlements are located throughout Arven. Orcs are hated and reviled by Wood Elves due to long-standing hostilities and skirmishes between the two races.

Biology
Orcs can live up to 60 years but many do not reach this age, preferring to fall in combat to a friendly rival or an honored friend. Orcs typically are 6-7 feet tall with most falling between there. Orcs reach maturity at the age of 15 and adopt an adult name at this time.

Culture
Orcs typically live within small nomadic tribes, moving from region to region. However, small orcish settlements are not unheard of and are often located where game animals are particularly plentiful.

Religion
Orcs most often do not follow any religion but the few who do are known to be extreme zealots dedicated to their cause.
