Dnd Orcs Race

Orcs are large, mus­cu­lar beings that resem­ble Ogres, though they are slight­ly more intel­li­gent than their rel­a­tives, the Cyclopes. Their skin ranges from gray-green to dark gray, and they often have large tusks and fierce eyes con­stant­ly seek­ing con­flict or food.

Like Cyclopes, Orcs are glut­to­nous and enjoy intim­i­dat­ing oth­er races and, if pos­si­ble, eat­ing them. They are phys­i­cal­ly strong, built for brute force, and often trained to wield crude, impro­vised weapons. Their log­ic is sim­ple: if it moves, you can hit it; if it stops mov­ing, you can eat it.

Habitat & Alliance

Most Orcs live in the occu­pied region of Red Iron, cur­rent­ly ruled by the evil cat. In caves and ruins, they often share their space with Cyclopes, form­ing a nat­ur­al alliance through their shared love of vio­lence and food.

Orcs have a deep dis­dain for humans and Dog­folk. They con­sid­er them weak, smelly, and far too com­pli­cat­ed. While the inhab­i­tants of Red Iron work on machines, books, and strate­gies, Orcs pre­fer brute strength, chaos, and noise.

Yet the Orcs have devel­oped a reli­gious aspect amid this war: they regard the mag­i­cal, shout­ing evil cat as a divine being. Because it can speak and wields mag­ic, the Orcs wor­ship it with rit­u­al salutes, war cries, and offer­ings some­times in the form of fresh­ly cap­tured ene­mies.

Criminal Networks

In the occu­pied regions of Red Iron, many Orcs also work for the under­world. They are sought after as body­guards, extor­tion­ists, and assas­sins in orga­nized crime espe­cial­ly in the indus­tri­al zones con­trolled by the evil cat. Here, Orcs form the back­bone of a ruth­less mafia struc­ture, where vio­lence, intim­i­da­tion, and con­trol over ille­gal Red Iron trade are the order of the day.

Orcs thrive in the mafia envi­ron­ment: no rules, lots of pow­er, and always the chance for a good fight (or a good meal).

Leader: Tromfius

An influ­en­tial Orc named Trom­fius has pledged him­self entire­ly to the evil cat. Slight­ly smarter than most of his kind, he was assigned his own region by the cat to gov­ern as a vas­sal. Since then, Trom­fius has been orga­niz­ing Orcs and Cyclopes into an army, aim­ing to con­quer the six free regions of Red Iron and bring the mys­te­ri­ous Red Iron min­er­al com­plete­ly under their master’s con­trol
