Homebrew Elven Half-Orc Species Details
On the shores of Brealor's desert plains, a strange ship arrives from the east, carrying upon it a people dressed in fine cloth and armour, bows and fine blades slung upon their backs. These are elven traders, diplomats and explorers who had decided to venture past their borders. Surprised to find such civility in the orcish nation, with its wines, great villa, and impressive horsemanship, friendships began, and trade routes opened. Some elf-folk even chose to settle and call the orc land home. From these settlers came unions between the two peoples, and from them came elven half-orc children.
Rare amongst the people of Brealor, elven half-orcs inherit the grace and charm of their elven parents with the strength and constitution of their orcish ancestry. they go on to become skilled artists and fierce warriors, graced with fineness and strength.
