Orcs



The Orcs started off as mere goblins that were hunted by the inhabitants of Sicoria, their entire species hunted to near extinction and forced underground. For a few decades they were trapped underground and their only hope of survival was the rainwater that used to flow through the crevices of the rocks from the surface along with the unmined ores they forced themselves to stomach.

When the Dark Lord first set foot in Sicoria, following the war that resulted in the banishment of the Incindiars and the previous Dark Lord, her powers were drawn away temporarily by the gods, which allowed her to be wounded. The goblins found her and rather than kill her they nursed her back to health with the little resources they had. In turn for their aid the Dark Lord uplifted their species using her own blood and magic. They were turned from mere goblins into powerful humanoid beings known as Orcs, whom were more than willing to return with her to her home and serve her.

Strengths

 * Orcs are vicious and relentless when they are in combat, able to ignore pain similarly to flipping a switch, giving them near unsurpassed durability amongst the other mortal races while in a rage. Until it wears off, that is.
 * Orcs are talented at smithing and construction, able to build better objects or use their heavy armor and weapons more effectively.
 * Orcs have natural resistance to intense heat

Weaknesses

 * Orcs while in their rage are unable to feel pain and usually won’t be able to tell if they have been heavily wounded, or even fatally wounded, until it is too late.
 * Orcs are weak to poison.
 * Orc mages and shamans are extremely rare, the "one in a million" kind of rare. No regular orc can learn or use magic.

Diet + Habitat
Orcs spend most of their time in Incindiair, usually wherever ores and metals are found. Their diet is no different from a Humans, except for their capability of processing raw meat. If they are desperate enough they may even devour raw ores to sate themselves until they can find a proper food source.
