If I remember my lore right, didn't orcs come into being after Boethia turned Trinimac (I think... could be wrong) into Malacath, which is why they are said to resemble him and never really had an ancestral homeland or even that long of a history compared to other races?

I feel rusty on my Elder Nerd. Where's Hermy Mora's bookshelf of mysteries when you need it?

Orcs literally come from a pile of shit. No really. Same with Malacath. No wonder they weren't playable in Daggerfall or Arena.
