Orcs are a race of large, militant, warrior humanoids found throughout Varannar. Their own kingdom is located on the far side of the western Zamohr/Dragon mountain rage, centralised in the savage alcazar of Urk-Daonassar, but their expedition forces are found throughout the other kingdoms particularly in Varsilia.

Instinctively aggressive, territorial, and expansionist; in human lands they occupy underground strongholds where they mine for minerals to forge weapons of war, topside they build fortifications from which to wage war against villages and towns, and to raid for mine slaves.

Strong and versatile fighters they are frequently considered a ferocious but bestial and containable threat by haughty Varsilian nobles, but orcs are much more organised and capable than that. They are disciplined, regimented, and always led by the strongest and most capable tactician of the group.

Uncharacteristically for Varannar, orcs have no known religion or shaman among their tribes, they are singularly focused on martial prowess be it melee or ranged weaponry.

Orc are vulnerable to Orc Slayer Weapons and have a kill-count in the game statistics.

Orc Archer Archers are found inside of fortifications where they stand in the raise battlement corners and act as watchmen and snipers.
