The Orcish people originate from the rocky and harsh region of Kurnhuelde to the North East of Voreld. They are a fierce race of warrior tribe peoples who are rarely found outside of Kurnhuelde. Their skin is of a generally green shade, ranging from almost white to a very dark brown, and their teeth are known for their sharpness and length, males often growing short tusks, which are taken as trophies in battles by some tribes.

They are usually slightly taller than most humans, averaging just over 6 feet tall, and have a very muscular physique. However they live slightly shorter than humans, typically dying naturally between 50 and 60 years of age.

Their tribe culture means they are often seen as barbaric by the other races and are generally disliked especially by Elves, due to the common practice of Orcs enslaving Elven emigrants from Quellam.
