Legends say that Orcs were once Elves, twisted, tortured and corrupted by dark forces until they were unrecognizable. Orcs do not create life, for the forces of evil can only twist and destroy what the forces of good have made. They are a race born of hatred and destruction, bred by dark forces to serve as an army of relentless warriors.

Most Orcs are purebred males, formed from slime and shadowy magic. They are fearsome fighters, with a deadly precision that can cut down even the strongest foes. Many Orc champions are almost impossible to kill, with a tenacity and toughness that borders on the supernatural. Orcs are steadfast warriors who resist most attempts at control or manipulation.
