Orcs

Orcs are very similar to the orcs of Lord of the Rings (particularly the uruk-hai), though their origins are greatly different. They are one of the original races on Sitiath, and during the First Wars they had vast empires and controlled great amounts of territory, but all that came to a crashing end when their progenitor, The One-Eyed, lost his eye to The Elf Father. Ever since then, they have had a passionate hatred of elves, and they have an almost equal hatred for dwarves, with whom they have fought many wars. Orcs speak orc, and usually only orc. See the languages page for more.

Usually, orcs do not make for a good PC race. They are generally shunned, if not just attacked outright, in the more civilized places of the world. That said, they are one of the most common and populous races on Sitiath, and encountering them is not unusual, especially on the fringes of more civilized areas. While they can be found in almost any terrain, they are most common in hills with caves. While they take no penalties for being in sunlight, they are not fans of it, making encountering them at night a much more common occurrence.
