Homebrew Orc (OneD&D) Species Details
ORCS OF MANY WORLDS
On many worlds, orcs occupy territory claimed by their ancestors. Their settlements and strongholds can be found almost anywhere, above ground and below.
Orcs sometimes flock to the banners of powerful monarchs. King Obould Many-Arrows of Toril (the world of the Forgotten Realms setting) is one such figure, his strength tempered by a willingness to make peace with his enemies.
On worlds such as Eberron, orcs were among those who defended the natural order from the encroachments of Fiends and other extraplanar threats. Their descendants learned to live in harmony with their neighbors and the natural world, and to many of them, Gruumsh’s wars are distant memories.
