[h2]Societal Role[/h2]
Orcs tend towards martial pursuits, due to their strength, their restlessness, and their discipline. That is not to say that all orcs are soldiers; many make their living peacefully. But they tend to view common tasks as menial and below them, and gravitate to wars. They are the soldiers of the Mythlands: orcish mercenaries are used in most armies. These mercenary companies are wealthy, famous, and feared for their valiance in battle and incorruptibility. Most orcs leave home to join these bands as youths. Even if they later settle into peaceful ways of life, this is viewed as an important step in coming of age.   

[h2]Physiology[/h2] 
It’s pointless to mince words: orcs are ugly by any conventional standard. Standing taller than humans and with a brutish, tusked face, it is easy to take them for stupid brutes. But orcs are just as intelligent as humans, in their own way. They are strong, of course. A typical orc is stronger than two typical humans put together.

They are notable in that they are a unisex species. That is to say, there are  no female orcs. They reproduce with females of other races, mostly humans. The resulting offspring are always orcs in turn. This dependence on other races is why they have not committed genocide on humanity already, which in truth they would have been capable of three times over in history. These opportunities come from the simple fact that when it comes to war, orcs reign supreme, as both soldiers and generals. Countless empires have been carved out by orcish warlords, and even today many principalities are ruled by orcs who have taken their thrones by force. 

Orcs display a very tribal social structure. While they may appear unruly and ungovernable to outsiders, they are utterly deferential to those they view as leader. They are also not as apt to possess magic as other races, though orc sorcerers do exist. 

[h2]Habitat[/h2] 
Orcs are a very sturdy people and thrive in regions lesser races might consider inhospitable. They thus be found nearly everywhere. They despise the ocean, however, and shy away from large bodies of water, due to their natural inability to swim.
