Half-Orcs
Even in
the tolerant lands of the Flanaess, a half-orc's life is hardly ever easy.
Some human areas tolerate half-orcs, making their lives no harder than
the lives of other settlers in the area. Other human areas despise
half-orcs and persecute them, making life in the open with savage orc tribes
look survivable by comparison.
Even more so than
half-elves, half-orcs tend to be loners. Most remain among the orc
tribes, where their human intelligence and leadership offer a hope of advancement.
In the Flanaess,
especially in the Pale, most half orcs are frowned upon. Usually
because they are some sort of half breed. The result of the raiding
orc tribes raping and pilaging human settlements.
