Half-Orc

In the wild frontiers, tribes of human and orc barbarians live in uneasy balance, and half-orcs often emerge from the chaos. Some, for whatever reason, decide to venture into civilized lands, bringing with them the tenacity, courage, and combat prowess that their orcish heritage is known for.
