Orc

A strong humanoid race, the orcs hail from the Vannin isles off the eastern coast of Delos.

Appearance
Orcs are among the largest and strongest races of Tane. The average orc stands around six and a half feet tall and has the muscle mass of the most well-built humans. Most orcs have green skin, two sets of horns on their heads, and metallic colored eyes. They also have two front sharp teeth protruding from their mouths.

Orcs possess great physical strength. With little effort, the strongest orc could bend iron bars with little trouble. Female orcs typically possess greater strength than males.

History
The orcs hail from the island of Vannin off the eastern coast of Delos. They were known for pillaging and plundering cities of the High elves and the Ventolín along the coast.

During the reign of the Anounese Empire, the High elves raided Vannin multiple times and took entire clans of orcs to be sold as slaves.

Culture
The Orcs of Vannin are a seafaring race once known for pillaging and plundering cities and kingdoms on Delos' eastern coast. Now, Vannin's orcs are known to be powerful warriors, great sailors and hunters, and to have developed great music. As orcs place much emphasis on physical prowess, their culture is seen as matriarchal.

Delosian Orcs are descendants of those who were taken from Vannin and sold as slaves by these Anounese Empire. After the empire fell, many of these orcs joined the mouri in settling in old Elven cities, forming the bulk of their armies. Loyalty and honor are paramount to Delosian Orcs, which has led to a more egalitarian culture.

Religion
Unlike most of the races, the orcs do not worship anthropomorphic deities. Rather, they worship aspects of nature: the sky, the sun, the ocean, the wind, and the moon.
