Orcish

(Not a race new characters can choose: you meet them in the world.)

Orcs live short, brutal lives in there underground warrens. They are remarkably similar to toothy, pig snouted, hunched humans, but seem to be de-evolving. They are perhaps becoming healthier over time, due to their tendency to eat their own children if the children are weak. Those who are not Orcs find Orcs remarkably repulsive. They have infravision. They fight on the side of evil in the race war.\ Orcs start at 17(mature), reach middle age at 29, old age at 43, and are ancient at 64.\ They may be any class (see CLASSES).
