Orcs

Green orcs/Steppe orcs
Orcs are aggressive and savage. They respect strength and power, and weak individuals have role of laborers. Orcs believe that anyone who is not capable of defending their property is just asking for it to be taken.

Physical description
Orcs are tall and muscular, around 1,7-2 meters and over 90 kilograms. Much more muscular than humans, and they have boar-like canines and sharp teeth. Orcs skin color varies from light green to blackish dark green.

Society
Orcs live mostly in small tribes and family clans. They sometimes band together for larger raids, but usually disperse after said raid. Most green orcs live on the steppes east of Nordwald forest.

Magic
Orcs are interested only in magic when it has immediate, tangible benefits making them unsuited for any kind of spellcasting that requires education or discipline. Instead, orcs favour magic that taps into primal sources of power like sorcerers, oracles, shamans, and witches, though they also have a surprising respect for both bards and skalds for their ability to manipulate emotions and whip orcs into a supernatural frenzy. Magic users in orc society often either use their abilities to make themselves an integral part of the tribe, rising rapidly through it's hierarchy, or in a self-imposed exile, seeing their strange powers as making them above other orcs. Due to orcs respect for the sheer power of their deities, spellcasters will often try to associate themselves with them, with arcane casters often pretending that their power instead extends from the divine.
