=====Orcs=====

Orcs are short, hairy humanoids with pronounced canines, lower intelligence and bad tempers. Orcs have been a thorn in everyone's sides for as long as they have existed. The elves and dwarves have ancient and bitter feuds with orcs, to the point that almost no elves tolerate orcs, and dwarves feel much the same. They were so bad at one point that the elves tried wiping them out entirely, and instead brought the orcs' greatest rivals, the humans, to Yrth. Since that point, the orcs have been beaten back to the Orclands, where they remain in tribal societies and go through cycles of violence and rebirth, occasionally making raids outside of the Orclands.

However, there are still some civilized orcs living in human society. They tend to be mistrusted until they prove themselves, but then they just get by. They dislike tribal orcs as much as anyone else.

* Half-Orcs
Half-orcs in Yrth follow the [[rape|general depiction of how half-orcs are usually conceived.]] They're at least more tolerated than their parents, but still usually looked down upon in human society. Orcs will accept them if they can prove their strength.

* Ogres
Ogres are exceptionally stupid and large. They are the larger cousins to the orcs, and often used as laborers and slaves for work that the orcs don't want to do. Some cities have an ogre, but they are generally closely watched slaves/servants.
