Homebrew Uniya (Half Orc/Half Elf) Species Details

Uniya is a term used for those in Exandria of both elvish and orcish lineage. This name, however, can just as easily be used to describe those of their kind in other settings. Alternatively, you may use a more descriptive term, such as elf-orc.

Exandria's first uniya, born during the Calamity, were born into the traditionally elvish metropolitan society of Cael Morrow in Marquet. There, the orcs were the first generation of their kind, transformed by the spilled blood of Gruumsh the Ruiner. Although fear had reigned for a short time after the transformation, the two peoples soon realized they were still kin.

Uniya would later appear in the wastes of Xhorhas. As the nomadic orcish tribes and more civilized goblinoid-orcish towns and cities were brought under the wing of the Kryn Dynasty, where the coupling of orc and drow was ultimately inevitable.

Eventually, Uniya would appear in the dividing plains of Tal'Dorei. Here, the warmongering orcs of the Calamity were survived by generations of orcs, each more peaceful and sedentary than the last. As elves slowly immigrated into the dividing plains from Syngorn and Lyrengorn, and learned to put aside their prejudices, unions between they and their orcish neighbors periodically developed
