Orcs are one of the chaos races. They are dark mockeries of men created by the Jotnar, for whom they serve as the primary footsoldiers in the Armies of Chaos.
Appearance
Orcs - sometimes spelled Orks, and referred to by the Alfar as the Orcneäs - are Chaos beings that stand about the height of a man. Most have dark greyish skin, though some occasionally have a faint red or green hue. Their eyes are typically yellow, and their hair is always dark. Unlike many of the other Chaos ilk, not all of them stand hunched and have rounded instead of pointed ears. Their noses are generally stunted, occasionally to the point of having no real nose at all. Their canine teeth are often more pronounced than other Chaos races, particularly their lower ones, which makes some orcs seem to have tusks thanks to their prominent underbite.
Culture
Orcs lead a life centered entirely around war. They eternally battle against the forces of the Noble races, and when they are not doing this, they are still fighting for survival among their own treacherous kind. Their only crafts are armor and weapons, hideous and crude, meant only for effectiveness.
